SWINE:
Prestage Farms - Mark Daughtry
"The Bantam ultrasound is probably the most valuable piece of equipment ever used on a sow farm. The reduction in non-productive sow days has been about 8 days. Improved reproductive performance, farrowing rate, conception rate, and the ability to troubleshoot management problems are just some of the advantages we have seen at Prestage Farms. Farrowing rate has improved 5% over the last 2 years. Our management team uses the Bantam as production tool on a daily basis."

Texas Farms - Florentino Lopez
"Texas Farms has upgraded to the Bantam preg checker after our great success over many years with the Real McCoy Scanner. E.I. Medical has provided the top in customer service and professionalism in their technical staff and quick return time on repairs. We have found the upgrade to the Bantam has made our employee's happier because of the reduction in weight, advantages of the new battery, and the increase in resolution quality. Our successful breeding operation continues to improve with an error rate of less than 2%. Texas Farms has an incredibly high standard for the equipment that we use, E.I. Medical and the Bantam meet and exceed our requirements otherwise we wouldn't use it!"
Puratone-Swine Division - Robert Steves
“The purchase of 6 units now used in the Puratone System were not the first ultrasound systems we had. Obviously we knew the benefits but did not have enough machines to cover all our herds. The competition machines however, when requiring 5-6 weeks for repair when returned to the manufacture within Canada. Now (with E.I. Medical) when repair or service is necessary we have out machines back in 4-5 DAYS after going through customs twice. Service has been nothing short of incredible. In addition to superior ease of use, and clarity of picture, the service rendered by E.I. Medical is unmatched in the industry. We at Purtone highly endorse E.I. Medical Ultrasound.”

Many thanks for the Bantam ultrasound machine. We are using the machine in three modes:
- As part of our routine pregnancy diagnosis in swine on our university farms
- To teach ultrasound pregnancy diagnosis techniques to student of animal and veterinary science.
- As an essential part of the diagnostics investigation tools utilized to unravel reproductive problems on commercial farm.
The Bantam is a great machine. The quality of the picture and the portability of the machine make it a great step forward in practical ultrasonography for the whole swine industry. The students find the machine easy to use and readily understand the principles and application of the Bantam.

“The new “Bantam” is better resolution, lighter in weight, an overall improvement from the Real McCoy. I am able to perform dairy herd checks with greater accuracy and greater efficiency. My clients are also excited that I am also able to provide fetal sexing procedures”

"I’ve been dealing with E.I. Medical since 1988 with the ultravision, then the Real McCoy, and now the Bantam. The Bantam is small, hard to damage, seems to be very durable and it’s easy to use. I mostly use it for diagnostics in equine colic and reproductive scanning. I’ve been very happy with service and dealing with E.I all along. The goggles are good too! It’s one less piece of stuff hanging around the horse to get damaged."
