Period
Used during the 1980s and 1990s.
Canada
Ultrasound assessment of livestock became part of Canada’s federal meat-inspection and livestock grading regimes in the late 1970s. Since the 1950s, the North American pork industry has striven to produce leaner animals and increase the value of meat derived from each animal carcass. According to Agriculture Canada’s National Ultrasonics Standards Manual (1st edition, 1989), Canadian pork producers significantly reduced backfat content between 1969 and 1981, producing leaner, meatier pigs that generated an estimated $40-million in additional revenue over that period. The Ithaco Scanoprobe was a leading device of its time and was a spin-off from the company’s work with NASA on altitude systems and satellites. Les sondes exploratoires de bétails ont commencé à faire partie de l’inspection de viande du gouvernement fédéral canadien à partir de la fin des années 1970s. Depuis les années 1950s, l’industrie du porc Nord-Américain aspire pour produire des animaux de teneur en maigre et augmente la valeur de la viande. Selon le « Agriculture Canada’s National Ultrasonics Standards Manual (1re édition, 1989), les éleveurs canadiens de proc ont réduient le contenu de gras dorsal entre 1969 et 1989. Comme résultat, ils ont produit des cochons plus maigres et plus charnus qui ont généré environ 40 millions de surplus en revenue lors de cette période. Le Scanoprobe Ithaco a été l’instrument d’avant-plan lors de cette période et a été inspiré par le travail fait par cette compagnie avec NASA sur les systèmes d’altitudes et satellites.
Function
Used to help carry the ultrasound unit with more comfort and ease. Utilisé pour transporter l'unité d'ultrason avec plus de confort et facilité.
Technical
First used with swine, ultrasound techniques were later used to assess beef cattle and sheep. Ultrasound probes provide more precise measurement of backfat, an indicator of carcass quality. Premièrement utilisé avec le porc, les techniques d’ultrason ont finir par être utilisé pour évaluer les bovins de boucherie et moutons. Les sondes exploratoires donnent un niveau plus précis de lard dorsal, un indicateur de la qualité de la carcasse.
