REOTEL Livestock Pig Back Fat Measure Tester Veterinary Backfat Thickness Meter Criterion Precise Detector 10S Fast Measurement for Pig Sheep Cattle Farm

Usage method: A certain amount of coupling agent, such as oil or water, is applied to the test site to make the probe well coupled to the skin, because the ultrasonic can not penetrate air or air bubbles. Press the button, put the probe on the animal skin, and move gently to ensure that there is no air or air bubbles between the skin and the probe. There are three lights on the left side of the display. The first light shows 1 layers of back fat, and the first and second lights show 2 layers of back fat. The three lights are illuminated with 3 layers of back fat. When the skin is not more than 3mm, the thickness of the skin is also included in the reading. If the thickness of the skin is over 3mm, it is regarded as the first layer. The light indicates that the back fat is measured in several layers. If the light is not bright, the skin contact is not good, it is necessary to add a couple of coupling agents to move back and forth to remove the bubbles and keep the probe vertical. The coupling degree of the probe is very important for the test results. When measuring pig back fat, only the position B can read 3 layers of back fat reading. Most pigs have third layers of back fat. With the increase of pig weight and age, the third layer of back fat thickens and the distribution surface is larger. Position B is the original measuring position using the metal probe technology, which is most related to the pig slaughter measurement data. Due to the different location of the measurement and the factors of the deformation of the fat after, the thickness of live animal obtained by ultrasonic device is usually different from the real data.
