Abstract

The use of ultrasound image in animal production is not new, being a safe method in the absence of deleterious effects to the individual, pregnant female and fetuses. The use of this equipment has been directed to study the reproductive status, performance of genetic groups, nutrition and carcass quality in sheep and goats. In this sense, this review will discuss the formation of the ultrasound image and the application of this technique in small ruminant production.
