Fully automatic weighing system for pigs
Weighing piglets and pigs is essential for tracking their growth and optimizing their feed. But weighing a piglet or a large pig can be a real challenge. It's time-consuming, often inaccurate and adds unnecessary stress to both the animals and you.
That’s where the MS PigScale comes in. We have different models for various needs—this weighing system makes weighing fast, simple, and stress-free.

Why weighing pigs matters
The weight of a piglet or pig is more than just a number. It’s an important indicator of health and growth. Regular weighing helps you to:
- Track growth rates and adjust feed as needed.
- Spot health problems early and take action quickly.
- Improve feed conversion for better profitability.
- Ensure uniform growth within your herd, leading to better farm performance.
Manually weighing piglets and pigs is often a challenge. You might get inaccurate readings due to movement, waste time trying to keep animals still and exert unnecessary energy.
