Bovine Pregnancy Scanning
Covering North of England & Southern Scotland & Nationwide for large herds Fully DEFRA licensed & insured Qualified 2004 
 
A BCF Technology Duo Scan Sector Scanner is used which is a battery powered backpack unit with head up goggles that give total flexibility to scan almost anywhere-in the parlour, rotary parlour, herringbone race, self locking yokes or traditional race and crush without being tied to a power supply or a monitor
 
Pregnancy Scanning is a very accurate and efficient method for the diagnosis of pregnancy and empty cows and heifers from 30 days after mating with an accuracy rate of 99%(animals need to be clear of any bulls for a minimum of 35 days for a conclusive empty diagnosis)
 
Foetal age can be accurately estimated between 30 and 135 days in calf 
Pregnancy can of course be confirmed after 135 days but only a rough estimation of foetal age
 
Throughput can vary depending on farm circumstances but 60-80 animals per hour is easily achieved in a well designed race with enough yard staff & 120 per hour plus in a herringbone race/rotary parlour
Pregnancy scanning is very cost effective as the small charge per animal can be easily recouped
by identifying non productive cows/savings on vaccines/wormers etc
