Product Overview

The Mobile Gilt Selection Scale brings individual weighing and physical assessment together at the point of handling. Its portable frame can be moved between pens, while the open sides give staff a clear view of each gilt and access for udder inspection and teat counting. It is suited to replacement gilt selection and routine weight checks in commercial pig farms.

Key Features

• Open-sided weighing area supports visual assessment and hands-on inspection.
• Mobile layout allows weighing close to the pen, reducing the need to move gilts through the building.
• Integrated weighing system helps staff group animals by the weight ranges set for their selection program.
• Frame, platform and weighing components can be specified for regular use in livestock buildings.
• Display functions, power supply and data handling are available according to project requirements.

Structural Components

The typical assembly comprises a mobile frame, animal weighing platform, open side rails, entrance and exit barriers, weighing sensors, indicator and protected cable routing. The final barrier arrangement and component materials are confirmed for each project.

Working Principle

A gilt enters the platform and stands within the weighing area. Sensors measure the load and send a reading to the indicator. Staff can then assess body condition, inspect the udder and teats through the open sides, record the result and direct the gilt to the appropriate group.

Technical Specifications

Applications

Suitable for replacement gilt selection, breeding herd preparation, routine growth monitoring and weight-based grouping. The unit can be incorporated into gilt development areas within new pig farm construction projects or used in existing livestock buildings where aisle and doorway clearance permit.

Customization Options

Platform size, frame finish, gate arrangement, weighing indicator and data output can be discussed according to animal size, handling procedures and site conditions. Confirm the required scale configuration before ordering.

Installation & Maintenance

Place the scale on a firm, level surface and check that it can move safely through the intended aisles and doorways. Follow the supplied instructions for indicator setup and calibration. Remove manure after use, inspect gates and cables regularly, and protect electronic components during cleaning.
