Broiler breeder managers know the dilemma: how to keep an eye on weights without disturbing the birds unnecessarily – and without increasing the workload?
Nesca 2.0 poultry scale weighs directly in the nest
More data – less work – more welfare for broiler breeder management
Nesca 2.0 records bird weights in the Relax 2.0 nest while the hens visit the nest to lay their eggs. Automatically, continuously, without the need to touch the birds. The scale thus creates several hundred individual measurements every day, which are much more significant than the usual weekly sample taken manually.
How does this help with daily tasks?
- less handling, more welfare: weighing without disturbing the birds;
- better overview of weight developments and uniformity due to a higher number of measurements;
- earlier reaction when weights are “out of step” – before issues cost money;
- adjustable weighing times via the ViperTouch management system (e.g. before feeding).
Weight monitoring can thus be optimally integrated into the daily tasks: accurately, continuously and without additional stress for staff or birds.
