Pregnancy scanning of ewes in both upland and lowland situations is now accepted as an essential management tool. It can be used to establish whether or not a ewe is pregnant and if so the number of lambs she is carrying.

Timing

Scanning ewes between 40 and 85 days after mating will produce a very high degree of accuracy in determining whether a ewe is barren or carrying one, two or three lambs.

Management

Knowing precisely the pregnancy status of ewes allow the following management decisions to be taken:
  • Accurate feed determination of pregnant ewes according to the number of lambs each is carrying
  • Fattening and/or sale of non pregnant ewes
  • Assessment of housing requirements
  • Improved lambing management
The scanning process is quick and from an animal's point of view, stress free.
