Introduction

Since 1983 BCF Technology Ltd has been developing, manufacturing and distributing worldwide 
animal husbandry equipment becoming market leader in the development and production for 
real time ultrasound pregnancy scanners for most animal species.

BCF, in consultation with leading experts in animal husbandry applications, have combined the 
best features of the old version of Ovi-Scan with the latest state of the art technology. The result is 
the new Ovi-Scan: an ultrasound scanner which is small, light, robust, portable and truly versatile. 
The Ovi-Scan also incorporates a removable scan module which, with additional accessories, can be 
used to provide even greater portability.

The Ovi-Scan is designed and manufactured in Scotland at:
