Commercial Digital livestock scales Company Kampala Uganda.
Commercial Digital livestock scales are used for weighing cattle, sheep, pigs, bison, and other animals like llamas and alpacas. Some scales weigh a single animal or many livestock in Kilograms. These large scales can weigh animals up to several tons. A platform Equilibrium scale generally has large and heavy objects placed on it consistently. This requires that the platform scale be made from materials that will support the extra weight Equipment.
Livestock weighing scales in the agricultural industry.
Animal scales are an important quality control tool in the agricultural sector. Livestock scales include special scales for pigs, sheep and cattle. Most models are designed to weigh a single animal, while others cater for groups of animals. As a rule, single animal scales are portable and are generally used for large livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep.
These scales are often also used as sorting scales for gilts (checking the udder). Group animal scales are stationary scales that are used mainly for fattening pigs. Often an entire pen is weighed together. If animal scales are used to select animals for slaughter, the scales can be equipped with a traffic light system to make it easier to sort the animals by weight classes.
high-quality livestock animal weighing scales digital type
Livestock scales are used principally for weighing live animals, in particular large ones, and must therefore meet a number of specific requirements. As animals do not generally want to be weighed, the scales are often equipped with a cage to prevent the animals from escaping. For reasons of hygiene, animal scales are made from high-quality and easy-to-clean materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum. It is also important that the scales are as close to the ground as possible to minimize the risk of animals tripping and injuring themselves.
In order to accurately weigh animals that have a tendency to move around during weighing, the process must be quick, which is ensured by a special software program. As the load cells are protected against sudden impacts, Accurate livestock scales are particularly accurate and reliable. Animals are often normally weight outdoors, in stables or abattoirs. That is why the cables and load cells come with additional protection against damage caused by rodents or dirt.
Grain moisture meters
How to Choose the Right Grain Moisture Meter for Your Needs
If you work with grains in any capacity, whether as a farmer, a commodity trader, aggregator, or feed producer, then a grain moisture meter is a piece of equipment you absolutely need. In this article, you’ll learn about grain moisture meters, why you need one, how they work and how to choose the best moisture meter for your operations.
Why you need a grain moisture meter
Grain moisture meters are tools that help you measure the moisture content in different grains, before, during, and after harvest. Measuring the moisture content of your grains helps you know whether your grains are dry enough. Knowing the moisture content of your grains is important because the high moisture content in grains leads to mold growth and aflatoxin contamination which destroy grains.
For farmers, the high moisture content in grains could cause you to lose a big chunk of your harvest – which in itself is a scary thought. Also for commodity traders, many buyers require you to meet certain moisture content standards before they will accept your grain. In addition, many buyers want the moisture content of corn to remain below 13% otherwise they will not buy. Finally, for poultry farmers and feed producers, the high moisture content in grains can affect the quality of your feed and ultimately the productivity of your birds.
While there are ingenious ways to estimate the moisture content in grains, the best way is to use a grain moisture meter. As it offers precise and accurate measurements, letting you know whether your grains are dry enough or if they should be dried some more. Ingenious ways like biting the kernel or tossing a handful of grains to listen for the sound they make do not offer such benefits.
Types of grain moisture meters and how they work
There are different kinds of moisture meters, each with its own principle of operation and underlying technologies.
Probe-type moisture meters like the GrainMate Grain Moisture Meter use a sensor to measure the temperature and humidity of the grains. It also comes along with special mathematical models to tell the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) in a grain sample.

Cup-type meters like the John Deere Moisture Check Plus SW08120 use a high frequency capacitive circuit to measure the moisture content in a small gain sample.

Other types of moisture meters like the AgraTronix 08201, GMT-Grind Portable Grain Moisture Meter use a grinder to grind a small sample of the grain in order to measure the in the sample.
