Abstract
Transrectal sonography has been widely used in the examination of physiological conditions of the female genital tract of the bovine for several years (Chaffaux et al. 1982, Tainturier et al. 1983, Pierson and Ginther 1984 a and b, Reeves et al. 1984, Kähn 1985, Taverne et al. 1985, White et al. 1985). The technology permits a safe, noninvasive pregnancy diagnosis as of week 4 and visualization of the embryo and foetus. Ultrasound scanning of the ovaries facilitates the identification of follicles and corpora lutea. These advantages were very promising for the use of ultrasound technology by practitioners as well as for research purposes.
