Ultrasound examination in horses: Precise diagnosis and effective treatment options, as well as insemination management
Ultrasound examinations in horses are an indispensable diagnostic procedure in veterinary medicine, particularly when examining horses. We offer high-quality ultrasound examinations for horses using digital ultrasound scanners. In this article, we will delve deeper into the importance of ultrasound examinations in horses and how they are used for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.
The ultrasound examination allows veterinarians to visualise the inside of a horse's body and identify potential problems or injuries. This non-invasive procedure uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of internal organs, the musculoskeletal system, and other tissues.
Ultrasound examinations are often used in horses to investigate tendon and ligament injuries. By providing a precise visualisation of the affected tissues, we can assess the severity and exact localisation of the injury and recommend an individual treatment plan. The healing process is then monitored and documented using ultrasound.
In addition, ultrasound examination can also be used in the diagnosis of internal diseases as well as reproductive disorders and in the insemination management of mares.
For the insemination management of artificial insemination in horses, it is important to identify the most optimal time. For this purpose, follicle checks are carried out with ultrasound during oestrus in order to determine the insemination timing.
From the 18th day after insemination, a pregnancy examination using ultrasound is then possible.
Furthermore, in cases of riding difficulties caused by hormonal problems, a gynaecological ultrasound examination can provide insight into the cause.
