Don’t be sheepish, come and see what Vet Image Solutions has to offer – Part 2

Last time, we looked at some of the veterinary ultrasound scanners we stock that are suitable for use on sheep. This included a scanner that helps to determine the most appropriate mating period, and a device that can confirm pregnancy through the presence of amniotic fluid.

This time we continue discussing ovine veterinary ultrasound scanning machines for use in pregnancy by looking at the MSU Ovine. This scanner has a number of noteworthy features that would benefit both sheep breeders and farmers. These include the ability to confirm pregnancy at very early stages in gestation (from 15 days) and to predict how many foetuses are present. In addition, the MSU Ovine can be considered as somewhat of a ‘chameleon’, as in addition to sheep, it can be used in diagnosing pregnancy in dogs, goats and even llamas.

The MSU Ovine can also help in the diagnosis of pathological conditions, including the presence of growths such as tumours and abnormalities in the liver. This means that this scanner really does offer the user the ‘full package’ when it comes to veterinary ultrasound for breeders, farmers and veterinarians (nevertheless, it should be noted that if detail is what is required here, our Sonoscape veterinary ultrasound scanner may be better suited for your needs). If you would like more information on ascertaining the best device for you, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Now for the ‘technical bit’ - this scanner has a 5”7 monitor that can return high quality images, comes complete with a 3.5 mhz mechanical sector probe, provides the user with a variety of speeds in M-mode/magnification values/focusing methods and a range of options when processing images. For more information on the technical aspects of the MSU Ovine, please see the webpage by clicking here.

The practitioner will also benefit from the real-time dynamic and harmonic imaging which the MSU Ovine comes complete with, whilst the software and calculation packages can help reduce the analysis time required following scanning. This veterinary ultrasound device offers the user three pertinent advantages that make the MSU Ovine a not to be missed scanner: quality, cost-effectiveness and user-friendliness.

As our ‘sheep saga’ draws to a close, join us next time when we go on an equine exploration…it’s not to be missed!
