iLivestock, a Scottish company that develops innovative solutions for livestock management, has been highly commended for its eWeigh system at the AgriScot Innovation Awards 2022.
The eWeigh system is a smart and affordable device that allows farmers to weigh and record their animals with ease and accuracy. The device connects wirelessly to a smartphone app, where the data is stored and analysed. The app also provides useful features such as animal identification, health status, breeding history and performance indicators.
The eWeigh system was praised by the judges for its simplicity, functionality and value for money. They said it offered the benefits of advanced weigh indicators at an entry level price, and that it was developed, tested and built in Scotland.
The AgriScot Innovation Awards are an annual event that showcases the best new products and services in the agricultural sector as part of AgriScot. They are sponsored by The Scottish Farmer.
It was Nofence Grazing Technology that went home with the Innovation Award. As explained by the Scottish Farmer's own editor Ken Fletcher and presenter of this year’s event: “It has been a tough job this year but we were unanimous in our winner which went to Nofence Grazing Technology’s GPS-controlled head collars for cattle, sheep and goats - which allows farmers to graze cattle without the high costs of fencing."
iLivestock's founder and CEO, Ewen Wardman, said he was delighted with the recognition and thanked his team for their hard work and dedication:
"We are very proud of our eWeigh system and the positive feedback we have received from our livestock farming customers. It is a great honour to be highly commended at the AgriScot Innovation Awards and to be featured in The Scottish Farmer. We are always looking for ways to improve our products and services and to help farmers manage their livestock more efficiently and sustainably."
