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.
Swing20
Versatile poultry scale
Swing20 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.
