The sheep backfat analyzer can predict carcass characteristics related to the composition of live breeding animals, and therefore has the potential to be used for selection to improve the offspring of the flock. The sheep backfat analyzer is an effective tool for predicting the carcass characteristics of live breeding animals, especially in improving the offspring of sheep herds, with broad application prospects. Here is an introduction on how to use a sheep backfat analyzer to detect backfat thickness and eye muscle area:

Ultrasonic detection of sheep backfat thickness

1. Use an appropriate ultrasound probe: Ensure that the sheep ultrasound machine used is equipped with a specialized 3.5 MHz backfat probe. Conventional ultrasound probes cannot accurately detect sheep backfat and eye muscles.

2. Shaving: Shave between the 12th and 13th ribs on the right side of the sheep to ensure that the detection area is clearly visible.

3. Coupling agent: Apply an appropriate amount of coupling agent on the probe to improve the signal transmission effect between the sensor and the muscle.

4. Place the probe and press it tightly against the skin: Place the probe in the detection area and gently press it against the skin, being careful not to apply excessive force to avoid affecting the muscle shape and detection results.

5. Freeze the image and calculate the values: After obtaining a clear image, freeze the image and use the software provided by the sheep's B-ultrasound machine to calculate the values of backfat thickness and eye muscle area.

6. Multiple measurements and records: If there is time and conditions, it is recommended to conduct multiple measurements and take the average to improve the accuracy of the measurement results. At the same time, record the values after each measurement for subsequent analysis of breeding and herd management.

The use of a sheep backfat analyzer to detect backfat thickness and eye muscle area is a convenient and reliable method, which can provide relevant information for selecting and improving offspring of sheep herds. During the operation, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of probes, shaving hair, applying coupling agents, and sticking to the skin. Multiple measurements and records should be taken to fully utilize the function of the sheep backfat analyzer.
