METHOD FOR COW BREAST OUTPUT SYSTEM ESTIMATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B8/08 

FIELD: veterinary medicine.

SUBSTANCE: ultrasonic scanning of the udder is performed by quarters in two perpendicular planes by a linear multifrequency sensor. To assess the udder milk tank, the sensor is positioned in the transverse plane in the teat base region and is scanned from the bottom upwards. To determine the diameters of the discharge ducts flowing into the tank, scanning is performed in the frontal plane, moving the sensor from the teat base towards the udder base. If the glandular part of the milk tank is revealed on the echograms, represented by a volumetric cavity with transverse folding. Milk courses in the lower part of the tank are not visualized, the main type of the breast output system is determined. If the glandular part of the milk tank is identified on the echograms, having the appearance of a cellular structure due to the milk courses flowing into it. The tank cavity is not visualized, loose type of the breast output system is determined. If the glandular part of the milk tank is identified on the echograms, having the appearance of a cellular structure due to the milk courses flowing into it. The tank cavity is visualized, mixed type of the breast output system is determined.

EFFECT: intravital diagnosis and evaluation of cows breast output system type.
