Lung Ultrasound

Not only can pneumonia kill and sicken calves, but even mild cases of pneumonia can cause long term damage to a heifer’s health, growth and future productivity.

We can use ultrasound to identify pneumonia in calves before they begin to show clinical signs, preventing serious illness and leading to healthier, more productive heifers.

Lung ultrasound is a versatile tool we have used to:

• Routinely scan calves to detect and treat pneumonia prior to serious illness

• Investigating stress points in a calf’s life to time vaccinations, treatments, or feeding changes

• Evaluate employee success at diagnosing pneumonia

• Evaluate pneumonia treatment success rates
