Abstract

The solution relates to constructing an attachment for an ultrasonic head, to the body of which(1) a flange (2) is attached, with a nut (12) attached from the outside, into which a spike (13) is attached. Opposite to the nut (12), a sleeve (3) with a tightening screw (4) is attached to the flange (2), through which the cable (5) from the ultrasound head passes. Furthermore, a sleeve (6) is attached to the upper side of the body (1) of the attachment with two screws (7), fixing the pump (8), from which the tube (9) leads to the gel reservoir (14). A protective cover (10) is attached to the body (1) of the attachment with screws (11). This attachment allows the spike (13) for combing the wool and/or the pump (8) and the reservoir (14) of the ultrasonographic gel to be connected to the ultrasound head of the echo camera, thus significantly speeding up the performance of ultrasound measurements compared to the sequential use of three separate instruments. The benefit of the solution is a reduction in the workload of ultrasound measurements and an improvement in the animal’s well-being.
