[QUOTE="vetimagesolutions, post: 661607, member: 7113"] Hi buffalo_soldier. The running costs for ultrasound are lubrication and gloves, which you may already be getting in if you do AI. All of our scanners come with 2 year warranties (parts and labour), so unless there was a major disaster like the scanner falling from height onto concrete, there should not be any repair costs within this period. It's very rare that we get a scanner back for repair within this time or indeed any time within the first 4 years. The most common problem over time is where the cable starts to detach from the probe head after a lot of use (thousands of scans). Our engineer can fix general wear and tear issues like this within 48 hours for under £40. Yes, detecting a 35 day pregnancy would be easily achievable. You will be able to see the embryo at this stage. In fact, you'll find that detecting the earlier pregnancies is often easier than the later ones, where the calf might be beyond sight of the probe (particularly if you don't have the longest arms!) and you're looking for other clues like placentomes and the status of the ovaries.
