Connected weighing of pigs on farms

Making it easier to weigh pigs on the farm: a major challenge for the industry

Weighing is an essential part of livestock management, used to control growth, adapt feed rations, monitor pig health, and validate breeding performance and pre-slaughter weights. It is a lever for both technical and economic progress. However, traditional weighing is often perceived as restrictive, which limits its frequent use on farms. Connected weighing, by automating and simplifying this process, is the perfect answer to this crucial need in the pig industry.

Connected pig weighing: H+L's expertise

At H+L, we specialise in connected weighing of pigs on farms, an expertise based on the use of cutting-edge technologies to measure and monitor pig weights accurately, punctually or continuously, and above all automatically. Our brand offers innovative solutions such as weighing using connected 3D cameras, while generating, processing and retrieving the data collected for optimised farm management.

The advantages of connected 3D camera weighing technologies

  • optiSCAN: This portable tool enables pigs to be weighed directly in the pens, considerably simplifying the process and reducing the labour required. The operator simply scans the pig, triggers the measurement, and the weight is displayed instantly. This fast, accurate method improves the efficiency of pig sorting, optimises the number of animals in the right weight range, and therefore increases the sale value.
  • optiSORT: This automatic device combines 3D camera weighing with a system for sorting pigs according to predefined weight targets. By automatically weighing and directing pigs to different areas, this system optimises their feeding and efficiently prepares the animals forslaughter. It also enables daily growth monitoring, quickly detecting any delays and intervening without delay, while reducing labour costs and increasing the homogeneity of carcasses delivered to abattoirs.
