Problem
Manually weighing livestock is labor-intensive and can cause stress to the animals, leading to inaccurate data and inefficient farm management. Traditional methods often lack real-time insights into animal growth and health, hindering timely decision-making for optimized production.
Solution
Hencol provides an automated livestock weighing solution that allows animals to self-weigh in a stress-free environment, reducing the need for manual handling. The system uses a custom-built scale and RFID technology to automatically identify and weigh animals as they move freely within their environment. Weight data is transmitted to the cloud in real-time, where proprietary AI algorithms process the information to provide farmers with growth forecasts, health alerts, and optimized production planning. The Livestock Planner management system offers a comprehensive overview of the herd, enabling data-driven decisions to improve animal health, reduce environmental impact, and enhance profitability.
