eYeScan growth monitor

eYeScan is an automatic growth monitor for fatteners. eYeScan uses camera technology in the house. An image scan is made each time a pig starts eating, enabling the computer to accurately calculate the animal's weight.  This process is entirely automatic, labour saving and stress-free for the animals.

eYeScan allows the behaviour of a group of fatteners to be followed from day to day. Graphs and tables clearly illustrate the increasing line in the average growth of the animals.
