Overview
Ultrasound Backfat Thickness Gauge Probe 3.5 MHz 5.6 Inch Display Strap and Case Included For Pigs Cattle and Sheep

This set is not for diagnostics but for measurement. The flat probe at 3.5 MHz is designed to accurately measure backfat thickness on a living animal, that is, without slaughter and without taking samples. You will use the data for managing nutrition and breeding decisions, as it shows how the animal responds to the feed ration. It is most commonly measured in pigs, cattle, and sheep, but the procedure is applicable to other livestock species as well. The measured value is displayed on the 5.6-inch display of the main unit, and you can save it directly to memory.

Key features:

  • Flat probe head — the wide flat surface is placed on the animal's back and maintains constant contact along its length.
  • Frequency 3.5 MHz — sufficient penetration for measuring fat layers even in heavier animals.
  • Measuring functions — distance, circumference, area, volume, and angle are calculated directly in the device without paper conversion.
  • Image freeze — the Freeze button stops the image at the moment of correct placement, allowing you to measure calmly.
  • 256 shades of grey — the transition between fat and muscle layers is clearly delineated in the image.
  • Result storage — the internal memory of 32 GB accommodates a long series of measurements across the herd.
  • USB transfer — you can transfer data to an external drive and process it in herd management.
  • Sixteen depth levels — a range of 126 to 307 mm allows you to focus directly on the measured layer.
  • Carrying strap — shoulder and waist strap frees your hands when working with a line of animals.
  • Durable body — rubber frames and compact dimensions withstand transportation between pens and transport in a truck bed.

Measuring backfat thickness provides the breeder with a number that can be worked with, instead of estimating based on the animal's appearance. Regular monitoring will show whether the current feed ration leads to the desired condition or if it needs adjusting. When selecting breeding animals, the backfat thickness data helps differentiate individuals that look similar but differ in body structure. Storing in memory allows for comparing the same animal over time and not relying solely on a one-time record. To ensure comparable results, always measure in the same spot on the back and with the same probe pressure.
