In the case of disease in the respiratory organs of creatures, which especially inhabit in terms of overcrowding, the danger of spreading a disease throughout the entire breeding farm is perfectly evident. The use of traditional methods, such as the stethoscope, for examining the respiratory organs of each creature, in the mode of their direct contact listening, is impossible in most due to the specific spatial arrangement of creatures in breeding farms and/or infectious danger to a veterinary. Moreover, the acoustic signs of the said illness at its early stage cannot be heard audibly with use of traditional methods.

II-Portable 2-D Inspection Technique that permits to verify disposition of perfect suspected sectional area by locating around each suspected inhabiting section with portable and hand-held ultrasonic detecting devices. III-Local 1-D Pinpointing Technique that provides for pinpointing a distinct suspected unit group, being inside an infected inhabiting sector, by a hand-held ultrasound pick-up device, equipped with extending acoustic probes for veterinary safety. Portable and Local Techniques optionally provides for use of wireless processing with Data Processing System. Spatio-Temporal compliance in applying the said techniques is being considered by operational algorithm of Data Processing System.
