Description

PREG-TONE A Fast, Safe, and Accurate Ultrasonic Pregnancy Tester for Hogs and Sheep. No lights to watch! No buttons to push! Ultrasonic Pregnancy detection with the RENCO PREG-TONE is now a proven and accepted herd management technique.

The patented PREG-TONE uses high frequency sound waves called ultrasound to detect amniotic fluid present during pregnancy. When this fluid is detected, the instrument produces a loud continuous tone. When used on an animal which is not pregnant, the instrument produces an intermittent tone. The intermittent tone also indicates that good skin contact is being made.

No guessing and no question. Clinically proven 100% accurate on normal sows, 97% accurate on ewes.
The RENCO PREG-TONE has been tested against other ultrasound instruments by leading universities throughout the world. Their studies show the PREG-TONE as the superior instrument in both accuracy and ease of use (studies available upon request).

Testing may begin as early as 18 days with swine (large litters, 11-12 piglets). Open sows can be diagnosed as early as 30 days. Normal testing time in sows and gilts is 30-73 days.

Pregnancy testing in ewes can begin as early as 30 days, with positive diagnosis made by 45 days. Normal testing time in ewes is 30-120 days. Testing on large New Zealand White rabbits can begin at 10 days.

Loud, easy to hear tones.
During testing, no lights are used, no buttons are pushed, thus attention is not diverted from the animal. A short intermittent tone indicates good contact, while a loud continuous tone indicates pregnancy. Since the PREG-TONE uses only loud easy to hear tones to indicate both pregnancy and non pregnancy, it can be clipped on the belt or kept in a pocket. The PREG-TONE does not need to be seen or held during testing.

Rechargeable NiMH batteries (NEW). Low battery indication.
Specially chosen by Renco Corporation to assure long life, the battery pack will last for years and give many hours of testing on one overnight charge. Renco's own unique circuitry causes the PREG-TONE to turn itself off when the battery needs recharging, assuring the user against erroneous readings due to insufficient power. Battery charger is included.

Rugged all-metal construction... Small enough to slip in your pocket.
All-metal construction guarantees against interference by radio waves in the atmosphere, a major accuracy problem with some ultrasound instruments. Constructed of heavy gauge aluminum for ruggedness and ease of cleaning, the RENCO PREG-TONE is still lightweight and small enough to slip in your pocket.
