Detail description
A guide to using EID-enabled weigh crates with auto-drafting for improved flock management in meat sheep production. The system automatically identifies sheep via electronic ear tags or boluses, records weight data, and sorts animals into groups based on predefined criteria. Suitable for fixed or mobile setups, it supports feeding decisions, nutrition planning, lamb weighing, and timely weaning across all sheep categories. Designed for UK meat sheep systems, the solution enhances data accuracy and operational efficiency.
