Bird Scale Computer (DWS-20)

Description

The Opticon DWS-20 is a management system designed for the modern producer who requires optimum production information. The DWS-20 unit incorporates a bird weighing system, temperature recording, water and feed consumption registration and alarming for four poultry houses.

The system measures and records the live body weight of the birds. To be used for broilers, breeders, rearing (in cages), ducks and turkeys. The weighing scale is suspended at the ceiling. This generates a large number of weighings with high level of accuracy. The DWS-20 shows you at a glance whether the planned target weight agrees with the actual bird weight in any house. It also alerts you when a abnormal growth rate fluctuation is detected.
