Early identification of nonpregnant dairy cows post breeding can improve reproductive efficiency and pregnancy rate by decreasing the interval between AI services and increasing AI service rate. Thus, new technologies to identify nonpregnant dairy cows early after artificial insemination (AI) may play a key role in systematic management strategies to improve reproductive efficiency and profitab...

There is little information available on methods to estimate fetal age of hair sheep. The objective of this study was to determine whether crown-rump length (CRL) and/or fetal heart rate (FHR) could be used to predict fetal age in hair sheep using transrectal B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography. St Croix White, Barbados Blackbelly and Dorper X St. Croix White ewes (n = 54) were scanned weekly be...

The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a new technique for transcutaneous ultrasonographic imaging coupled with transrectal manoeuvering for the examination of the left kidney using 10 clinically healthy Jersey/Red Sindhi crossbred cows. The areas extending caudally from the tuber-coxae, cranially up to the 11th intercostal space, dorsally from the lumbar transverse processes, a...

Seminal vesicle cysts are rare and usually associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis. The diagnosis of seminal vesicle cysts may be delayed or missed because of the non-specific symptoms of this condition. In this study, we aimed to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of a left seminal vesicle cyst that was associated ipsilateral agenesis in a 24-year-old patient who presented to our outpatien...

The ultrasound technology has been used for various functions particularly as a tool in beef and dairy research for many years. It has become more available to the commercial livestock agriculture recently. Application of transrectal real-time ultrasonography in the study of bo‐ vine reproduction represents a technological breakthrough that has revolutionized the knowledge of reproductive biolo...

INTRODUCTION Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common disease of ageing men worldwide. Though transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) is the standard in most parts of the world in evaluation of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), it is rarely done in some less developed countries because of non availability of appropriate probes and or specialists. Transabdominal ultrasonography (TAUS) remains the m...
