Nowadays, many family farms are equipped with veterinary B-ultrasound machines, which are convenient for their own pig farms. Some farmers also rely on veterinarians for B-ultrasound testing. The following is an analysis of the benefits of using B-ultrasound for pigs to farms from several aspects.
1. First, let’s talk about the benefits of pregnancy testing
The traditional method of sow pregnancy testing is that a veterinarian judges whether the sow is pregnant according to the various symptoms that the sow appears 1-2 months before delivery. Depending on the level, it is possible to cause 20-60 days of ineffective feeding in a breeding cycle. Using veterinary B-ultrasound to judge the pregnancy of sows can generally be detected 24 days after mating, which greatly reduces ineffective feeding and saves costs.
Generally speaking, the traditional pregnancy diagnosis method accounts for about 20% of the number of mating sows that are not in estrus and not pregnant after mating in the first estrus, and the calculation of ineffective feeding can be reduced by 20-60 days for each empty sow found . It can save 120-360 yuan in feeding costs (6 yuan per day). If it is a pig farm with a scale of 100 sows. If 20 sows are found to be empty, the direct economic loss can be reduced by 2400-7200 yuan.
2. The use of B-ultrasound for pigs can reduce the occurrence of reproductive diseases
Some of the better pigs use B-ultrasound to detect uterine diseases and ovarian cysts, which can cause sows to be misfit when mating, or cause miscarriage even if they are mated. Using the veterinary B-ultrasound machine to detect diseases and take corresponding measures such as timely treatment, elimination or aphrodisiac can reduce losses.

3. Ensure balanced production
The B-ultrasound machine for pigs can not only detect the number of pregnant sows, but also observe the recovery of the uterus after delivery. If it is widely used in production, breeders can choose sows with normal reproductive functions to participate in breeding, accurate Master the number of healthy sows participating in mating to increase the conception rate during estrus and ensure balanced production.
4. Auxiliary detection to improve meat quality
Veterinary B-ultrasound can be used to detect backfat thickness and eye muscle area. Some breeding factories will pay attention to the meat quality of pigs. According to the test results, they will adjust the feed in time to improve the meat quality, and the higher the selling price will be. The above are the benefits of using veterinary B-ultrasound.
