Ultrasound Examination For Preganacy in Swine
To understand how an ultrasound machine works vist this MP4 video.
Below you see how and where to ultrasound a sow. The sow may be laying down as in this image or standing up. Ultrasound lube must be applied to the end of the probe that makes contact with the skin.

Here are the ultrasound video clips of pigs 1-6 bred in Fall 2020 and determine if each pig is pregnant or not.
The female pig you inseminated will either be pregnant or not. If she is pregnant, she must have been bred at the correct time from when estrus started. However if your pig is not pregnant, it may have aborted or you will have to examine when it was bred and be able to suggest a reason it did not get pregnant or say for unkown reasons (ie. statistical chance).
So what was the conception rate in fall 2020? What is the rate in 2021?
