• Timely Marketing: By knowing the precise weight of the animals, farmers can sell pigs at the right time, ensuring they are at the optimal market weight. This maximizes profits and ensures that animals are not under or over-fed, which could otherwise result in lower meat quality or missed opportunities in the market.
• Resource Optimization: Accurate weight tracking allows for better feed management, as pigs are only fed the necessary amount for growth. Medical treatments can also be better timed and tailored to the animals' current needs, preventing overuse or waste of medications.
• Cost Reduction: With optimized feeding, medical treatment, space, and labor, the overall operational expenses of the farm are reduced. Fewer resources are wasted, and the farm's profitability increases.
• Environmental Impact: By selling pigs at their optimal weight and not allowing them to stay on the farm longer than necessary, farms reduce their environmental footprint. Heavier animals require more food and produce more waste, increasing their impact on the environment. Reducing the amount of feed and waste generated helps contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly farming operation.

Large Range of Models

• Stationary and Mobile Models: Meier Brakenberg offers both stationary and mobile animal scales to suit different farm layouts and needs. Mobile models are especially useful for farms with multiple pens or where animals need to be weighed in various locations. Stationary models, on the other hand, provide a permanent solution for specific areas within the farm.
• Individual and Group Weighing: The scales come in configurations for both individual pig weighing and group weighing, offering flexibility in managing different group sizes and farm operations. This is ideal for farmers who want to weigh pigs either individually for precise management or in groups to save time.
• Heavy Animal Weighing: The scales are designed to accommodate even the largest animals on the farm, such as sows, ensuring accurate measurements for animals of all sizes.

Innovations in Animal Scale Design

• Front-Operated Gate for Return: One innovative feature is the front-operated gate, which allows animals to be easily returned if they do not meet the farm's quality or weight standards. This feature improves the efficiency of the weighing process, reducing stress on both the animals and the personnel involved.
• Quick Return for Sorting: When pigs do not meet the desired weight or quality criteria, the front-operated gate makes it easier to redirect them to the correct area, streamlining the workflow for sorting and managing livestock.

Electronic Weight Indicator

• Multiple Functions: The scales are equipped with electronic weight indicators that provide a range of features, including the ability to perform quick and efficient weight measurements. The indicator's user-friendly design ensures that farm personnel can operate the equipment without extensive training.
• Quick Sorting by Weight Categories: The electronic system allows for fast sorting of animals by weight categories, making it easier to classify pigs for different purposes, such as marketing, breeding, or medical care.
• Autonomy and Data Export: These scales are built with autonomy in mind, allowing farmers to use them without constant oversight. The electronic systems can also export weight data, making it easy to keep track of the pigs' growth over time and integrate the data into broader farm management software.

Product Strength: Aluminum Build

• Durability and Resistance: The animal scales are constructed from aluminum, which provides excellent resistance to shocks and corrosion, ensuring long-term durability even in harsh farm environments.
• Lightweight and Portable: Despite their durability, the scales are lightweight, making them easy to move around the farm if needed. This is especially beneficial for mobile models, which need to be transported frequently.
• Ease of Maintenance: The lightweight nature of aluminum makes the scales easier to handle and maintain, reducing downtime and ensuring that farm operations can continue without interruptions.

These features highlight the practical, innovative, and durable nature of Meier Brakenberg’s animal scales, making them a critical tool for modern pig farms looking to optimize productivity and sustainability.
