Veterinary machinery plays a vital role in animal medicine and animal husbandry. The following are some common veterinary machinery and their troubleshooting methods:

1. Veterinary B-ultrasound

Veterinary B-ultrasound is an indispensable tool in modern veterinary diagnosis and is widely used in disease diagnosis of pigs, cattle, sheep, and other animals.

Common faults:

• Probe failure: including bubbles, oil leakage, bursting or damage, and wear of linear array probes or mechanical fan-scanning probes.
• Host failure: such as unresponsive screen, abnormal display, water ingress, or external impact causing broken screen, etc.
• Battery failure: battery damage or inability to charge due to long-term non-use or improper operation.

Troubleshooting methods:

• Probe failure: Bubble problems, can be solved by exhausting and filling oil; for leaking, bursting, or damaged probes, a new probe or probe oil film needs to be replaced; for worn probes, the chip sound head or lens can be replaced.
• Host failure: Check whether the external power cord is plugged in and whether the socket voltage is normal; for screen problems, check whether the adapter power supply is disturbed and whether there is an electric field or magnetic field in the surrounding environment of the instrument; for broken screen problems, a new display needs to be replaced.
• Battery failure: Check if the battery has not been used for a long time or has been short-circuited due to water ingress, and replace it with a new battery if necessary.

2. Syringes

Syringes are one of the most commonly used instruments in veterinary medicine, used to inject drugs or vaccines into animals.

Common faults:

• The needle is blocked or bent.
• The piston is stuck or the seal is not tight.
• The syringe shell is damaged or deformed.

Troubleshooting methods:

• When the needle is blocked or bent, a new needle can be replaced.
• When the piston is stuck, the dirt on the piston and the inner wall of the syringe can be checked and cleaned; when the seal is not tight, a new piston or gasket can be replaced.
• When the syringe shell is damaged or deformed, a new syringe needs to be replaced.

3. Other veterinary machinery

In addition to veterinary B-ultrasound and syringes, there are many other common veterinary machinery, such as surgical instruments (scalpels, hemostatic forceps, etc.), suture needles and threads, ear tag clamps, etc.

Common faults:

• Surgical instruments are rusted or damaged.
• Suture needles and threads are broken or of poor quality.
• Ear tag clamps cannot rebound or the clamping force is insufficient.

Troubleshooting methods:

• When surgical instruments are rusted, rust inhibitors can be used for maintenance; when damaged, new surgical instruments need to be replaced.
• When the suture needle and thread are broken, it is necessary to replace the suture needle and thread with better quality; when the quality is poor, the brand or supplier can be changed.
• When the ear tag clamp cannot rebound or the clamping force is insufficient, the jaws and springs can be checked and cleaned; if necessary, replace the ear tag clamp with a new one.

4. Daily maintenance and care

To ensure normal operation and extend the service life of veterinary machinery, regular maintenance, and care are required.

Cleaning and disinfection: Regularly clean and disinfect veterinary machinery to prevent cross-infection and bacterial growth.
Lubrication and maintenance: For parts that need lubrication (such as pistons, syringes, etc.), lubricants are added regularly to reduce wear and friction.
Inspection and replacement: Regularly check whether the various parts of the veterinary machinery are intact, damaged, or worn; if necessary, replace new parts or the whole machine in time.

In summary, the troubleshooting of veterinary machinery requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including fault phenomena, working principles of equipment, and maintenance experience. During the maintenance process, scientific and reasonable maintenance methods should be followed, and daily maintenance and care work should be strengthened.
