Ultrasonic Pregnancy detection with the RENCO PREG-TONE is now a proven and accepted herd management technique. Among the numerous benefits are the following:
Identification of feed-wasting non producers.
Confirmation of pregnancy in animals purchased or sold.
Savings resulting from increase in overall operating efficiency, permitting more efficient use of expensive farrowing installations.
The patented PREG-TONE uses high frequency sound waves called ultrasound to detect amniotic fluid present during pregnancy. When this fluid is detected, the instrument produces a loud continuous tone. When used on an animal which is not pregnant, the instrument produces an intermittent tone. The intermittent tone also indicates that good skin contact is being made.
