It depends on your farm's scale and budget:

• Mechanical Sector (Ultras/S0/Elite): Excellent for rapid, cost-effective pregnancy screening on small to medium farms.

• Convex/Linear Array (S1/Slite/MU10): Offers higher resolution and a wider field of view, making it ideal for veterinary clinics that need to perform detailed fetal counting and health assessments.For external scanning, a 3.5MHz convex probe is standard. For earlier detection, a 6.5MHz rectal probe is recommended.

Using a high-quality portable goat ultrasound machine like the S1 or Y6, pregnancy can be reliably detected as early as 35 to 45 days. For expert users, an embryonic sac may be visible even earlier. Early detection is critical for adjusting nutritional management and identifying non-pregnant (open) does to save on feed costs.

A professional veterinary ultrasound system should provide specialized obstetric packages. For goats and sheep, these typically include:

• BPD (Biparietal Diameter): Used to estimate gestational age.

• CRL (Crown-Rump Length): Helps in monitoring fetal development in the early to mid-stages.

• Loin/Backfat Measurement: Available on models like the S1 and Y6, this allows breeders to assess the body condition of the doe, which is vital for optimizing reproductive success.

Goat farming often involves rugged and unpredictable environments. A fully waterproof ultrasound like the Y6 ensures the device is protected from splashes, dust, and bodily fluids during farm-side exams. This durability significantly extends the lifespan of the equipment and ensures reliable performance during heavy seasonal use.

Yes. Most Dawei Veterinary Medical devices are multi-purpose. Our systems, including the MU10 and L3-VET, come pre-set with examination conditions for cattle, horses, pigs, dogs, and cats, making them a versatile investment for mixed-animal practices.
