Here are some key points to consider:
- A significant number of feeder heifers may be pregnant on arrival at the feedlot.
- Pregnancy status is a very significant factor in the performance and welfare of heifers in the feedlot.
- Feedlot staff under the direction of a veterinarian can quickly learn to pregnancy test feeder heifers.
- The stage of pregnancy can be detected and pregnant heifer management protocols can be implemented using this information.
- The VGA output of the ReproScan XTC and BoviScan Curve allow the image to be easily and clearly displayed on a large flat screen monitor. ReproScan can provide a 19” / 50 cm 5:4 LED monitor for your feedlot.
- The use of the ReproArm along with the ReproScan XTC or BoviScan Curve allows feedlot personnel to pregnancy test feeder heifers without putting their arms into the heifers. This is a very significant safetly factor.
- It is very cost effective to pregnancy test feeder heifers on arrival in the feedlot using ReproScan Veterinary Ultrasound equipment.
