Ultrasound for Goat Pregnancy Scanning

QuickStart Guide for Scan Pad owners – free download

Welcome to your online goat pregnancy scanning course. The modules below aim to deliver a combination of the theory and practice of ultrasound scanning. You do not necessarily have to do each module in order. Modules 3, 5, 6 and 9 are the more practical of the modules, designed to start improving your scanning immediately. You can always jump to these modules, and go back over the more academic side later.

You may have questions as you go through this course, or you may have some of your own scan images you’d like feedback on. We are here to support you, so if you need help, please email contact@animalultrasoundassociation.org
