Renco Lean-Meater® SERIES 12
“Ultrasound for Ultra Profits”® (假一罚十)

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.

产品特点：

1. 该仪器用来量度背脊脂及厚度，易于携带。
2. 金属所制成,手持型工作仪器.电源使用充电式电池，方便操作。
3. Renco瘦肉测量器是唯一获美国专利权的背脊脂肪数字测定器。
4. 运高(Renco)瘦肉测量器使用超声波(高频超声波)量度脊肪，动物既不会受伤或不舒服，也不会因使用刺破皮层的方法而有受到细菌传染的危险。

5. 读数是用毫米直接显示，故此无须解释，而又可获得高度的准确性。

背膘不理想的解决方案：
1、后备母猪150日龄时，测背膘，12-14mm。低于10mm，增加饲料能量。
2、体重不足100公斤，B点背膘低于下限（12 mm），则增加营养浓度。
3、B点背膘接近上限或高于上线（14mm）应该减少营养浓度。
4、经产母猪（断奶如果B点背膘低于16mm或者B点背膘高于23mm的）按母猪饲养七阶段精细化饲养。
