Abstract

Ultrasonography is a diagnostic test that is widely used in cattle practice for reproductive tract assessment. Other indications of medical ultrasonography are numerous in cattle. Ultrasound use can easily be extended as part of the evaluation of different medical and surgical conditions in beef cattle practice. The aim of this article is to focus on the current and simplest applications of medical ultrasound that can be easily implemented by the bovine practitioner. Umbilical and lung ultrasonography are used to illustrate on farm use of this important ancillary test.
