After the successful completion of this course, RVTs can perform pregnancy detection in beef cattle using ultrasound, in the province of Alberta under the indirect supervision of a veterinarian given that the job has been delegated by a veterinarian and the RVT has proven they are competent in this area. Students are responsible for checking other province's rules and regulations around RVTs performing ultra-sounding for pregnancy detection when working outside of Alberta. Proficiency of this skill typically takes 100 -200 assessments. To develop proficiency, it is important to work closely with the veterinarian.
