ABSTRACT:
In determine and ascertain the physical state of birds and animals in a livestock raising establishment, the batches of such creatures are weighed at certain time intervals, the information on the weight of a bird or an animal is signalled to a computer and is stored in the memory of the latter, the average weight of a number of birds or animals is calculated which gives an indication of the physical state of the respective creatures. To practice the method a weighing apparatus is used including a weighing platform, a load cell attached to the said platform and being capable of converting the pressure of the load on the platform into an electric signal, and an electronic interface adapted to receive the signal and transmit it to a computer with wiring connecting the constituents of the system.
