Precision weighing systems for all types of poultry – mobile or fixed installation Monitoring bird weights is an important tool in modern poultry management. Especially in poultry growing, the exact determination of bird weights is a decisive factor for economic success. However, any farmer keeping broiler breeders, pullets or layers must also check the weight development of his birds closely. Too high or too low weights always have a negative effect on the production results and also mean that the farmer is not taking full advantage of the birds‘ genetic potential, which in turn influences the farm’s profits negatively. Nesca Poultry scale for broiler breeders Nesca is a poultry scale recently developed by Big Dutchman for integration into group laying nests (patent pending). The scale automatically determines the weight of hens visiting the nest to lay their eggs. Nesca records the largest possible range of weights of a great number of hens, whether they are heavy, light or lazy, and without requiring any additional efforts from the staff. Nesca consists of a bottom wire mesh which rests on four load cells. The load cells transmit their results to the production computer via a weighing module. Main advantages -automatic weight determination; -a lower number of manual weighings reduces the workload and saves time; -the period for weighing can be defined individually, for example before feeding or during the main laying phase; -automatic differentiation between males and females during weighing.
