Full service for cow pregnancy scans
Why Scan?
Pregnancy scanning is a great management tool to work out which cows are empty for next season as well as aging pregnancies to create groups based on calving dates. Early aged scanning also allows you to get 3 and 6 week in calf rates which are key performance indicators for how your mating season has gone. It also allows for greater information to work out which areas need to be improved on for next season.
How scanning is done
Pregnancy scanning is performed during milking for rotary and in between milkings for herringbone sheds. We send two scanners out so that we can keep up with milking speed for rotaries and finish herringbone sheds quickly so the cows can get back onto grass quickly. We offer the use of our vet technician team for recording results straight into Infovet/MINDA for efficient data management and results reporting within 24 hours. We can age pregnancies accurately from 35 days to 90 days.
