Veterinary Ultrasound

Animals and farming settings

• Large animals (cattle, horses): transrectal pregnancy checks and examination of the ovaries and uterus.
• Pigs, sheep: pregnancy checks, backfat and loin-eye area measurement.
• Pets and small animals: routine abdominal and cardiac examinations.
• Commercial farms, veterinary stations, animal disease control and breeding organisations: on-site examinations and mobile visits.

Examinations supported

• Pregnancy checks and staging of the gestation period
• Backfat and loin-eye area measurement (automatic measurement on some models)
• Examination of the ovaries, uterus and other organs
• Abdominal and cardiac examination in pets

Device types and configurations

7 models, from the all-in-one V6 to wireless probes that display on a phone — matched to the species and the way the work is done.

Key specifications

• Display modes: B, B+B, 4B, B+M, M; some wireless probes add Color, PW and PDI
• Probe frequencies: convex 3.5–5.0 MHz, linear 7.5–10.0 MHz, micro-convex 6.5 MHz / 8 MHz, backfat 5 MHz
• Scanning depths: convex 90/160/220/305 mm, linear 20/40/60/100 mm, micro-convex 40 mm to 100 mm
• Animal measurement software: automatic backfat, gestation staging and loin-eye area measurement; the V6 carries software measurement packages for 8 species
• Connection and display: Wi-Fi connection, image shown on a phone, tablet or computer; software for Android / iOS / Windows
• Battery: 3 hours to more than 8 hours depending on model (V6 lithium battery 8 hours or more)
• Protection: the V6 housing is fully sealed, with sealed USB / HDMI / TF ports

Who uses it

• Commercial farms (pigs, cattle, sheep): pregnancy checks and backfat measurement.
• Veterinary stations and animal disease control bodies: on-site diagnosis and disease screening.
• Pet hospitals and clinics: abdominal and cardiac examination in small animals.
• Breeding farms and seedstock operations: ovary, uterus and gestation-cycle management.

How it differs from our other ultrasound ranges

This is the veterinary range, and its applications and configuration differ from the human ultrasound ranges: veterinary models carry a long transrectal probe and animal measurement software, and are aimed at transrectal examination in pigs, cattle, sheep and other animals, together with veterinary measurements such as backfat and loin-eye area. The two are not interchangeable; selection follows the subject being examined.

Common purchasing questions

Q: Which model for pregnancy checks in large animals?
A: For larger fetuses in cattle and horses, the convex transrectal probe of the VProbe; for smaller fetuses, the large-size linear transrectal probe; sheep take the corresponding small size. Please confirm the configuration with our product department.

Q: How are backfat and loin-eye area measured?
A: The V6 has software measurement packages for 8 species built in, and measures backfat, gestation stage and loin-eye area automatically; the VProbe-2B is a dedicated backfat probe used with a tablet.

Q: How is the image displayed on a wireless probe?
A: The probe connects over Wi-Fi to a phone, tablet or computer, and the ultrasound software installed on that device displays the image — no separate main unit is needed on site.

Q: Will it stand up to farm conditions?
A: The V6 housing is fully sealed, with sealed USB / HDMI / TF ports, which makes cleaning straightforward; the wireless probes are compact and easy to carry and disinfect.
