ABSTRACT
Ultrasound is an indispensable tool today for the reproductive management of cattle (dairy and beef). It is a collateral examination, which by itself cannot and does not pretend to be the answer to the reproductive problems of the farm. Ultrasound can reduce the margin of error encountered with the manual evaluation of the uterus and ovaries, a margin of error that is only partially attributable to individual capabilities.
This extraordinary technique allows for real-time responses in any environmental condition, as it is a flexible technique. It is a technique that is easily repeatable and allows many services to be produced on farms. Thanks to the introduction of ultrasound in the reproductive management of the herd, it is possible to safeguard both the concept of animal welfare and that of food safety. This is mainly due to the accurate and timely use of antibiotic and hormonal therapies, thanks to an extremely precise diagnosis, as only ultrasound can achieve.
