SONO V5 ultrasound for swine pregnancy test
Ultrasound plays a crucial role in pig pregnancy testing, especially B-mode ultrasound, which has accurate detection and excellent detection results for early pregnant sows. The following is a detailed explanation of the use of ultrasound in pig pregnancy testing:
1、 Principle of Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasonic testing utilizes the physical properties of ultrasound waves to emit high-frequency ultrasound waves through a transducer (probe) into the body tissue, generating echoes that are received by the transducer and converted into high-frequency electrical signals before being transmitted to the host. After amplification, the cross-sectional acoustic image of the investigated area is displayed on a fluorescent screen. This high-tech imaging diagnostic technology can clearly display the pregnancy status inside the sow's body.
2、 Advantages of Ultrasonic Testing
High accuracy: B-mode ultrasound can accurately determine the pregnancy status of sows, reduce the number of non pregnant sows, shorten ineffective feeding days, and reduce economic losses.
Easy to operate: Ultrasonic testing instruments are usually portable and easy to operate, allowing for real-time testing on site without the need for complex laboratory operations.
Non traumatic: Ultrasonic testing is a non-invasive examination method that does not cause any harm or discomfort to sows.
Wide applicability: Ultrasonic testing is not only suitable for early pregnancy diagnosis, but can also be used to monitor the physical condition of sows at different stages, such as backfat thickness.
