Weighing is more than just recording a number. It drives decisions around growth, health and sale readiness. That’s why we’ve introduced new features to the iLivestock weighing section, making it easier to manage records, track performance and capture key information while animals are in the crate.

We’ve kept all existing weigh screen functionality, but added new tools to help you do more while weighing animals:

  • Tap straight into the animal profile while weighing
  • Add animals to specific groups as you weigh
  • A new metrics view showing all your weighing data in one place
  • Medicate individual animals during weighing
  • View and add breeding information throughout your weighing session

iLivestock combines easy-to-use software with reading and weighing equipment

Weighing sessions stats

We’ve also added a new Quick Info area on the weigh screen. You can choose to view:

  • Your selected animals summary
  • A weighing graph to spot dips or trends the moment you weigh
  • Session summary showing key information from your current weighing session

Performance tracking made easier with weighing charts and quick info buttons

Why change the weigh screen?

Measuring an animal’s weight plays an important role in monitoring livestock growth, identifying potential health issues and meeting market specifications. Weighing is one of the most important jobs on the farm, yet it's also one of the busiest moments in your day. We redesigned the weigh screen to reduce time spent switching between different areas of the app, allowing multiple tasks to be completed while you weigh. Making iLivestock faster, easier to use, and even more efficient on farm.

During weighing sessions, while animals are in the crate or crush, users can now update records, review performance trends, record treatments and manage breeding information within the same workflow. Helping keep information accurate and up to date while saving time on farm.
