SCANNING
At Ultra-Scan, we understand that effective farm management begins with knowledge. Our ultrasound pregnancy scanning services enable farmers with critical insights to optimise their operations. By accurately determining pregnancy status and foetal age, our scans provide invaluable data for planning calving, kidding or fawning seasons, optimising breeding programs, and ensuring the overall health and productivity of your herd. Conducted approximately 30 days after mating, our scans offer early detection, allowing timely and informed management of cows, goats, and deer. Our meticulously designed process detects multiple pregnancies and utilises a handheld ultrasound probe to visualise reproductive organs with accuracy. This comprehensive approach supports informed herd management strategies and enhances overall farm productivity.
COW SCANNING
Our pride lies in the expertise of our franchisees in pregnancy diagnosis, ensuring accurate and efficient service delivery. With our scans available as early as 30 days after conception, we offer precise dating of foetal age between 35-90 days post-conception.
This vital information empowers our clients with critical insights into calving spreads and which cows have held to AB, enhancing farm management decisions.
