Objective of the study was to assess whether there are some differences in biometric measurements of the reproductive organs using mechanical
sector or linear array ultrasound probe in comparison to the macroscopic measurements. The results revealed no significant differences between
ultrasonographic (USG) images in comparison to macroscopic features. High correlations between post - mortem biometric measurements of
examined structures and monitored via USG in conscious animals using both probes were found (P<0.001). In conclusion, both USG systems
can be effectively used as clinical and research tools in the field of examination of bovine reproductive tract status.
