Check them yourself. The slim rectal probe sits flat in a gloved hand and the 5.5-inch screen shows a live black-and-white picture of the uterus: the pregnancy, the embryo and, once it has started, the heartbeat.
Made for rectal scanning. A 6.5 MHz linear probe on a cable, the type used for rectal pregnancy checks in cows and mares, with a picture up to 24 cm deep.
Freeze and measure. Freeze the picture to measure a vesicle or a heartbeat on screen. The measurement menu includes distance, area, volume, heart rate and an expected due date.
Hands free in the barn. Hang the scanner at your chest on its strap so one hand holds the probe and the other is free. It runs on a rechargeable 2,200 mAh battery and packs into an aluminium case.

For trained hands. Rectal scanning carries a risk of injury, highest in horses: if you have not been trained, have your vet or a trained technician scan with it. Kiba Echo is not a veterinary device and does not diagnose anything. Scanning dogs or cats? See Kiba Echo, with the micro-convex probe for a small belly.

Kiba Echo Cattle & Horse Pregnancy Ultrasound

$1,599USD

Between vet visits

Open or bred, on screen.

A pregnancy check usually means a vet visit and a fee per head or per mare, often more than once a season. Kiba Echo Cattle & Horse is a handheld rectal ultrasound, so a trained hand can check their own cows and mares when it suits them, and call the vet for what needs one.

How it is used

From charged to a frozen picture

Before

Charge and glove

Charge the battery and plug the probe into the socket on the side. Have arm-length obstetric sleeves and plenty of lubricant ready; neither is in the box.

Ready

Restrain her

Scan a cow in a chute or headlock and a mare in stocks, never loose. Hang the scanner on its strap at your chest so the screen faces you.

Looking

Scan by picture

With the probe in a well-lubricated, gloved hand, scan while you watch the screen. Fluid looks black, so an early pregnancy shows as a dark round or oval shape with the embryo inside.

After

Freeze and measure

Press freeze to hold the picture, then measure size, heart rate or the expected due date. Write it down against the cow or the mare, and clean the probe before the next one.

On a strap

Hands where you need them.

The scanner hangs at your chest on its strap with the screen tilted up, so one hand works the probe and the other steadies the animal or holds the tail.

Questions

Good to know before you order.

Something we haven’t covered? Email info@kibaclub.com and a person replies within 24 hours.

Who is it for?

Cattle and horse breeders and technicians who have been trained to scan rectally, or who will use it with their vet. If you have never examined a cow or a mare rectally, do not start with this scanner: have your vet or a trained technician show you first.

Is there one for dogs and cats?

Yes. Kiba Echo comes with a micro-convex probe that sits on a small belly between the hind legs, for dog and cat breeders. This scanner, with its rectal probe, is the one for cows and mares.

When can I see a pregnancy?

In cows most people first scan from about day 28 to 35 after breeding; earlier checks miss more. Mares are usually first scanned at about day 14 to 16 after ovulation, the window vets use to check for twins, and again later to see a heartbeat. Your vet will tell you the schedule they want for your herd or your mare.

What if I see two vesicles in a mare?

Call your vet the same day. Twins in a mare need a quick vet decision and are not something to manage yourself.

Is rectal scanning safe?

It carries a real risk of injury, highest in horses, where a rectal tear is an emergency. Use plenty of lubricant and an arm-length sleeve, restrain the animal in a chute, headlock or stocks, stop if she strains, and if you have not been trained, have a vet or trained technician do the scanning. Kiba Club does not give training.

Is it legal for me to scan my own animals?

Rules differ by country and state. In some countries only a vet may examine an animal rectally or carry out a pregnancy diagnosis. Check the rules where you live before you order.

Can I tell the sex of the calf or foal?

Fetal sexing needs a specific stage of pregnancy, a lot of practice and a very clear picture, and we make no claim that this scanner is suited to it. Ask your vet.

Does it come with gel, sleeves or lubricant?

No. Use arm-length obstetric sleeves and plenty of lubricant or water-based gel, sold by every farm store.

What does the screen show?

A live black-and-white picture. Fluid looks black, so an early pregnancy shows as a dark round or oval shape with the embryo as a brighter shape inside, and a heartbeat shows as a flicker. Reading it takes practice, which is why we suggest your first scans are next to your vet.

Is it a veterinary device?

No. It shows you a picture; it does not diagnose anything and it does not replace your vet.

Does it work in the United States?

Yes. It runs on its rechargeable battery and comes with a charger with a US plug.

How long does delivery take?

Orders are prepared within 1 to 3 business days and delivered by tracked courier, usually in 5 to 10 business days. Shipping is free and you get a tracking number by email.

What if it is not right for us?

Tell us within 30 days of delivery and we will arrange a return for a refund. If it arrives damaged or develops a fault in the first year, we repair, replace or refund. Full terms are in the refund policy.
