“This machine lets me check cows twice as fast, with half the effort. It also gives me so much more information than transrectal palpation did.”

Watch Dr. Andy Borrowman  scan 19 cows in 6 minutes with Easi-Scan, which is 190 cows in 1 hour.

He is also using the alternate arm he normally scans with; he scans over 220 cows in 1 hour when using his normal scanning arm.

 It has become a widely held dogma that fertility has declined in dairy cattle due to high milk yields. In America and Europe studies have shown a correlation between increasing lactation yields and declining pregnancy rates with artificial insemination. However, this does not prove cause and effect. Looking more closely at data suggests this may not be the whole story or the main problem across the industry. This article explores these topics and shows ways to break the cycle.

1. Goggle Lens Cleaning – the lenses on your goggle should be treated like prescription eye glasses. You should always clean them with a non-abrasive cloth that will not scratch your lenses. Scratches on your lenses may affect the ultrasound image you see. Most goggles have replacement lenses available for purchase.

2. Battery Charge – to maintain the optimal battery charge, completely deplete the charge from your batteries before charging them again.

3. Probe – your probe should always be stored in loose coils. Wrapping in tight coils can leave permanent kinks that can affect the life of your probe.

4. Dr. Bob Steiner, DVM from Lodi Veterinary Hospital in Wisconsin “I have made a simple dabber to swab the monocular lens when it fogs. I take a 12 cc syringe pull it apart and tape it back together with plunger facing one way and tip of syringe barrel the other way. I then simply rubber band some tissue or soft paper toweling to the plunger end. You can put this apparatus in your breast pocket and simply "dab" the lens when it fogs.”
