Bird weighing
Precision weighing systems for all types of poultry – mobile or fixed installation –
Monitoring bird weights is an important management tool in modern poultry production. In poultry growing especially, the exact determination of bird weights is a decisive factor for economic success.
Any farmer keeping broiler breeders, pullets or layers must also check carefully the weight during the birds’ development. Too high or too low weights always have a negative effect on the production results and mean that the farmer is not taking full advantage of the birds’ genetic potential. This, in turn, influences the farm’s profits negatively.
Big Dutchman can offer the Right poultry scale for any application. Whether a fixed or a mobile version, a stand-alone system or a scale integrated into the production computer is needed.
Swing 20
Versatile poultry scale
Swing 20 consists of a load cell and a platform made from plastic material (or, as an option, stainless steel). Using the telescopic suspension pole, the platform can easily be adjusted in height and thus adapted to the birds’ age. The scale is well accepted by the birds, resulting in plenty of weighings and therefore in precise weight data.
Swing 20 is suspended from the house’s ceiling. During the service period, the scale can simply be removed for cleaning while the weighing electronics remain installed close to the ceiling where they are protected against dirt and dust.
Incas 2
Poultry scale for layers
Incas 2 is a poultry scale that can be used in houses where layers are kept on the floor or in enriched colony systems, or in which pullets are reared.
Due to the multi-purpose Stainless steel suspension, Incas 2 can either be fitted laterally to the wire mesh or, if the load cell is angled accordingly, be fixed to the system’s flooring. Due to its low weight of only 2 kg, Incas 2 is well-suited for use as a mobile scale. The small distance between the floor and the load cell, which is shaped like a perch, ensures a high number of weighings and therefore precise weight determination.
IncasCompact
Poultry scale for pullets and the AviMax broiler system
IncasCompact is a poultry scale ideal for weighing pullets as well as broilers kept in the AviMax system. The scale is made entirely from stainless steel. The circular weighing platform has a diameter of 15 cm.
IncasCompact is simply placed on the floor, where the two feet hook into the flooring. Thanks to the compact design, the scale can also be used for mobile weighing.
