Product Overview

The Dual-Platform Breeder Bird Weighing System collects body-weight data as birds step onto the platforms during normal movement. It helps poultry producers monitor growth trends and flock uniformity while reducing the labor and bird handling associated with manual sampling. The system can be planned for breeder and pullet houses as part of a wider livestock equipment package.

Key Features

• Two weighing platforms provide sampling points within the poultry house.
• Automatic weight collection supports routine growth and uniformity monitoring.
• Adjustable platform height helps suit bird age and house layout.
• Corrosion-resistant metal construction is suited to the demands of poultry-house operation.
• Controller and data connection options can be selected according to project requirements.

Structural Components

A typical configuration includes two bird weighing platforms, load-sensing assemblies, mounting hardware, signal cables and a weighing controller. Final component selection depends on the house design and requested monitoring functions.

Working Principle

Birds step onto a platform voluntarily. The load sensor sends a weight signal to the controller, which processes accepted readings for flock monitoring. Platform placement and height should encourage regular bird access without obstructing feeding, drinking or movement.

Technical Specifications

• Platform quantity: Two in the standard system concept
• Bird type: Breeders and pullets; suitability confirmed for each project
• Weighing range and accuracy: Available upon request
• Platform dimensions and mounting height: Customizable
• Controller, power supply and data interface: According to project requirements
• Material and surface finish: Selected according to local climate and farm conditions

Applications

Suitable for commercial breeder houses, pullet-rearing facilities and poultry projects requiring regular body-weight records. For mixed-use livestock projects, the bird weighing system can be specified alongside broader farm construction and monitoring equipment; it is intended for poultry-house installation rather than pig weighing.

Customization Options

Platform size, mounting arrangement, controller functions, cable routing and data integration can be configured around the flock, house dimensions and management objectives. Mounting details can be coordinated with a steel structure building or other approved poultry-house support structure.

Installation & Maintenance

Install the platforms at accessible bird locations and mount the controller where staff can inspect it conveniently. Confirm structural support, cable protection, platform clearance and calibration during commissioning. Routine maintenance includes removing accumulated litter, checking mounts and cables, and verifying readings against a known test weight according to the supplied operating instructions.

Product FAQ

Can the system weigh birds without catching them?
Yes. Birds are weighed when they step onto a platform during normal activity.

Can the platform height be adjusted?
The mounting arrangement can be specified to allow height adjustment according to bird age and house conditions.

Can weighing data connect to farm management software?
Data connection options depend on the selected controller and should be confirmed during project design.
