1.Using a B-ultrasound machine to detect pregnancy in cows can improve accuracy.

By using ultrasound, cows can see their pregnancy status on the screen, which is much easier than relying on palpation for detection.

2. It will be easier for cows to learn using ultrasound.

Some people can proficiently use bovine ultrasound within a few days, while learning palpation testing requires even longer time.

3. Ultrasound for cattle has better economic value.

Due to the use of ultrasound to detect cows, more information can be obtained, such as gestational age, gender, fetal development, whether the cow has uterine inflammation, ovarian cysts, and fetal status. We can adjust our breeding strategy based on this information.

What are the advantages of using ultrasound to detect cows compared to rectal palpation?
