Why use a sheep ultrasound machine to scan your sheep?

Scanning pregnant ewes with B-ultrasound Machines is a direct management practice that can improve lambing rates by helping farmers manage the needs of pregnant ewes.

This also means that you can manage empty ewes more effectively by reintroducing, selling, or raising them as wool producing flocks, requiring less feed and allowing for more intensive stocking.

If you don't know the pregnancy status of your sheep, an empty pregnant ewe will compete with a pregnant ewe for feed, which wastes resources and is not conducive to lambing rate.

When is it common to use a sheep ultrasound machine to detect ewes?

If you only scan the pregnancy status (wet or dry ewes), you can scan the sheep 35 to 40 days after removing the ram.

When scanning for single or twin status (multiple), the recommended time is 80 to 100 days after joining. After 100 days, it is difficult to distinguish between a single fetus and multiple fetuses.

As ewes approach lambing, the feed demand for multiparous ewes increases. Using a sheep ultrasound machine to distinguish between single and twin ewes can ensure that pregnant ewes are housed in separate pens, which is directly related to lamb birth weight and lamb survival rate.
