The ‘ Ultrasonic Scanner GE Logiq 200pro ’ is a two-dimensional ultrasonic scanner with digital image processing. The system is operated with a linear 3.5 MHz probe that allows a sonar penetration down to about 20 cm depending on the display window chosen. The scanning width of the probe is 9,4 cm, which corresponds to two or three ribs of the carcase.
The assessment method provided for in paragraph 2 is to be used as a method for the grading of pig carcases established on the basis of the values of the measurements obtained by the apparatus Ultrasonic Scanner GE Logiq 200pro.
Every apparatus used in the abattoir must be calibrated and must give values of the measurements equivalent to those of the Ultrasonic Scanner GE Logiq 200pro.
