Why weigh?
Animal
Weighing replaces guesswork with facts, making
Weighing it a powerful performance measurement tool
for farmers.
Tru-Test weigh scale indicators assist critical
decision making about feed, health treatments
and herd size management.
On its own, weighing is a valuable addition to
your operation. However, with the emergence
of EID, an opportunity exists to maximise the
potential of collected weigh data.
Weighing your stock in line with target weights
replaces guesswork with facts, helping you make
better informed decisions around feed, treatment
and selling.
Tru-Test’s weigh scale indicators are incredibly
accurate, with +/- 1% or 2 increments, whichever
is the greatest.22 Animal Weighing Animal Weighing 23
