Scanstock is a ultrasound pregnancy testing business, specilising in beef cattle in QLD, NSW and NT. Scanstock is a very professional business and strives to get a great result for cattle producers and help increase profit. Ultrasound pregnancy testing is an expanding service and has many benefits compared to manual pregnancy testing.

Scanstock uses the latest technology, which is low stress on cows and is highly accurate. The benefit of ultrasound is that the foetuses can be observed as early as 6 weeks old, which is extremely useful for farming practices.

A Duo scan 3 ultrasound machine is used for pregnancy testing cows. The duo scan is the only ultrasound machine in the world that shows a 170 degree view of the foetus in a cow. We get a great view of the whole foetus, which means we can pick up, twins and infections of the uterus. A probe is used and is inserted into the rectum. Cows are mainly done in a crush, but can be done in a race if cows are very quiet. The Duo scan 3 machine is totally portable and is battery operated, therefore no power is needed at the yards.
