Renco Lean-Meater® SERIES 12
“Ultrasound for Ultra Profits”® (假一罰十)

The Lean-Meater Series 12 is a microprocessor controlled A-Mode ultrasonic instrument. It is designed to measure the total thickness of the skin ａnd up to three layers of back fat. When the measurement is complete, the instrument will display the number of fat layers detected ａnd the total thickness in millimeters with a greater accuracy than ever before.

The Series 12 has a number of new features. Two of the most significant are the automatic detection of the number of layers present ａnd the display of the result.

The primary use is the measurement of back fat in swine for the determination of sow condition, gilt selection, quality ａnd other genetic aspects. Other uses include fat measurement in cattle, sheep ａnd other land animals, as well as blubber measurement in aquatic animals. (The Lean-Meater is not intended for measurement of muscle tissue.)

The Lean-Meater can be thought of as an electronic ruler. Ultrasonic pulses sent into the animal are reflected back to the instrument from tissues of interest. The times until these echoes are received are translated into distances in mm. Measurements are non-invasive—no piercing of the skin with the consequent danger of infection. The animals are neither hurt nor irritated.

The use of LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes) assures sharp, crisp, readings. Only the Lean-Meater uses an LED display which will operate over a wider range of temperature ａnd be more visible under adverse light conditions.

The instrument features rugged all-metal construction ａnd a Nickel Metal Hydride—“green”—rechargeable battery, which does not need to be recycled. Battery charging ａnd low power indicators are also provided.

The instrument is fast. Measurements are made quickly ａnd easily as follows:

Simply wet the test site (usually by the last rib) with a coupling fluid, such as cooking oil, press the button to turn the instrument on ａnd apply to the test site. Move it around to remove air bubbles. The display locks in when the total depth ａnd number of layers has been determined. Note the reading on the display, which from left to right, shows the number of fat layers detected ａnd the digital reading of total thickness of skin ａnd fat layers. The figures below illustrate various displays.

產品特點：

1. 該儀器用來量度背脊脂及厚度，易于攜帶。
2. 金屬所制成,手持型工作儀器.電源使用充電式電池，方便操作。
3. Renco瘦肉測量器是獲美國權的背脊脂肪數字測定器。
4. 運高(Renco)瘦肉測量器使用超聲波(高頻超聲波)量度脊肪，動物既不會受傷或不舒服，也不會因使用刺破皮層的方法而有受到細菌傳染的危險。

5. 讀數是用毫米直接顯示，故此無須解釋，而又可獲得高度的準確性。

背膘不理想的解決方案：
1、后備母豬150日齡時，測背膘，12-14mm。低于10mm，增加飼料能量。
2、體重不足100公斤，B點背膘低于下限（12 mm），則增加營養濃度。
3、B點背膘接近上限或高于上線（14mm）應該減少營養濃度。
4、經產母豬（斷奶如果B點背膘低于16mm或者B點背膘高于23mm的）按母豬飼養七階段精細化飼養。
