Portable Veterinary Backfat Scanner

• Ultrasonic Backfat Measurement: Designed for non-invasive measurement of subcutaneous fat thickness in livestock.
• Compact Handheld Design: Easy to carry between pens, gestation barns and breeding facilities.
• 1.3-Inch Color OLED Display: Provides clear on-device measurement information.
• Fast On-Farm Testing: Supports routine body condition monitoring without complex equipment setup.
• Feeding Management Support: Backfat data can help farms evaluate sow condition and adjust feeding strategies.
• Reproductive Management: Useful for monitoring body condition during breeding, gestation and farrowing cycles.
• Portable Probe System: Separate measurement probe allows convenient positioning on the animal.
• Commercial Farm Application: Suitable for breeding farms, pig production units and livestock service teams.

• Inspect the scanner, probe and cable before each measurement session.
• Select a consistent anatomical measurement point according to the farm's backfat monitoring protocol.
• Apply sufficient ultrasound coupling gel between the probe and animal skin.
• Hold the probe steadily and maintain consistent contact during measurement.
• Clean residual coupling gel from the probe after each use.
• Avoid dropping, striking or sharply bending the probe cable.
• Keep connectors clean and dry during cleaning and storage.
• Store the instrument in a dry and protected location when not in use.

Q: What is a veterinary backfat scanner used for?
A: It is used to measure subcutaneous fat thickness and help evaluate body condition in pigs and breeding sows.

Q: Why is sow backfat measurement important?
A: Regular backfat monitoring helps farms evaluate nutritional condition and supports feeding decisions during breeding, gestation, farrowing and lactation.

Q: Does the scanner require ultrasound gel?
A: Yes. Coupling gel should be applied between the probe and skin to improve ultrasound transmission and measurement stability.

Q: What type of display does the unit use?
A: The scanner is equipped with a 1.3-inch color OLED display.

Q: What are the dimensions of the scanner?
A: The listed dimensions are 200 × 70 × 30 mm.

Q: Is it suitable for commercial pig farms?
A: Yes. Its portable design is suitable for routine body condition monitoring in commercial breeding and production farms.

Q: How can measurement consistency be improved?
A: Use the same anatomical measurement point, sufficient coupling gel and consistent probe positioning for each animal and measurement session.
