Animal weights – the key measure when it comes to managing livestock. Optiweigh delivers that data in real time – remotely, easily and automatically.

1.
Take the Optiweigh to your cattle
The Optiweigh is highly portable and can be towed behind a buggy or ute. Setup takes less than 2 minutes. Position the unit on level stable ground, fold up the tow frame and turn the unit on.
2.
Your cattle weigh themselves
Cattle are enticed onto the Optiweigh with an attractant, such as molasses, a lick block or salt. Stepping on they have their EID recorded and front feet weighed. This information is sent to the cloud and an algorithm applied to calculate total body weight.
3.
See info on your phone/laptop
Liveweight information is updated multiple times daily and sent to any device type. Users receive a daily email summarising the information gathered in the last 24 hours. More detailed information is available to be viewed and downloaded via the website.

Think of Optiweigh not just as your farm’s new best friend but as your early detection system. It’s your eyes and ears even when you’re not there or when you’re managing your operation remotely.
As we’ve installed more units, our clients have discovered more and more use cases that are specific to their farm. Some of these insights are ones we didn’t even think of ourselves.
Measuring the ADG (Average Daily Gain) and mob weight distributions with minimum and maximum weights are some of the most obvious benefits that save farmers time and labour.
