How to Measure the Live Weight of a Pig

Measure pig live weight automatically and monitor weight development without manually weighing or handling the pigs.

Measure Pig Live Weight – Without Manual Weighing

There are several ways to measure the live weight of a pig. Traditional methods require pigs to be moved onto a scale or their weight to be estimated using body measurements.

For commercial pig production, automatic weighing provides an easier way to continuously monitor average weight without manually handling the pigs.

With the iDOL 65 Pig Weighing Camera, a 3D camera mounted above the pen automatically estimates the average weight while the pigs move naturally below it.

Automatic weighing – monitor average pig weight without manual weighing
No animal handling – pigs are measured while moving naturally in the pen
Continuous monitoring – receive updated average weight every hour
Track weight gain – follow weight development throughout the production period

From Pig Weight to Growth Insights

Knowing the average weight of your pigs gives you valuable insight into production performance.

The iDOL 65 captures an image every 10 seconds and calculates the average weight in the pen based on thousands of measurements. Every hour, you receive updated data on average weight, minimum and maximum weight, standard deviation and number of weighings.

Use the data to follow weight development, compare batches and evaluate how changes in feed affect growth.
