W-0 Weigh Scale

The combination of EID technology and weigh scales makes weighing livestock an efficient process. The equipment reads quickly and is accurate every time, automatically matching the weight of the animal to its EID tag. Therefore, it offers improvements in traceability as with certain scales it is possible to see a full weight history of individual animals.

Additional benefits of operating an EID weighing system:

• Monitor animal performance- a full history of weights can be obtained by regularly weighing livestock. This can highlight whether animals are meeting their target for daily live weight gain (DLWG)
• Improved animal health- Individual animals who aren’t performing as well as the rest of the herd can be identified and investigated to determine the cause of the reduced DLWG
• Forecast optimum time for sale- by realising the DLWG handlers can calculate approximately when the animals will be at the correct weight for sale.
• This can help to ensure a maximum price is achieved per animal
  Increased accuracy of benchmarking and performance recording- Animals can be linked back to their sire or dam, allowing high performing genetic lines to be highlighted. This can aid the process of selecting replacement stock.
