Services for Cattle 

Ultrasound Muscle and Backfat Scanning 
 
Ultrasound scanning measurements of muscle and fat depth provide important information which is used to predict the degree of muscling and leanness in the whole carcase.
 
These performance traits are measured by qualified technicians when cattle are between 350-500 days old. Data provided to Signet / ABRI is used to generate muscle depth and fat depth EBVs which can be used to select breeding stock with improved carcase quality. 
 
Our experienced technicians are MLC Approved and ABRI trained and provide exclusive services to breeders right across Wales and Central/Southern England. Scanning appointments can be booked by calling our Aberystwyth Centre.We will then send you a proposed date and a complete information pack to help to prepare your animals for scanning and to help make your scanning visit run as smoothly as possible.  Given the increasing demand for performance recorded animals, we urge clients and potential clients to contact us as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment.
