Smart Weighing for Smarter Herds with the Delmer Dairy Weighing Scale

In modern dairy farming, consistent herd monitoring is key to improving productivity, maintaining healthier cows, and managing feed more efficiently. One innovation transforming this process is the Delmer Dairy Weighing Scale—a fully automated walk-over weighing system that provides dairy farmers with accurate, real-time insights into their herd’s performance.

Why Regular Cow Weight Monitoring Matters

Just like checking your bank balance regularly, monitoring your herd’s body weight should be part of your everyday farm routine. A cow’s live weight reflects her health, feed efficiency, and reproductive readiness. The Delmer Dairy Weighing Scale makes this process seamless by automatically recording and analysing weights, helping farmers make smarter management decisions.

Key Benefits

1. Improved Genetic Selection : Live weight data helps identify which cows convert feed into milk most efficiently. Smaller cows producing the same milk solids as larger ones are more cost-effective, improving overall herd genetics. 
2. Young Stock Growth Tracking : Regular weighing ensures heifers reach at least 60% of their mature weight before mating. With Delmer Dairy Weighing Scale, farmers can easily monitor growth and adjust feeding programs to achieve the best results. 
3. Feed and Nutritional Management : The system helps compare herd weight averages and monitor seasonal trends, allowing farmers to fine-tune feeding strategies and ensure optimal nutrition for every cow. 
4. Reproductive Performance Optimization : Tracking weight changes after calving identifies cows losing excessive weight. These cows can be fed preferentially to improve their chances of conceiving again quickly.
5. Accurate Drying-Off Decisions : Frequent weighing helps identify cows that should be dried off early to regain condition before calving, improving performance in the next lactation cycle.

Designed for Dairy Efficiency

The Delmer Dairy Weighing Scale is built for durability, comfort, and precision. Its non-slip concrete surface ensures quiet and smooth animal movement, reducing stress and improving flow through the milking parlour. The IP67-grade stainless-steel load cells and engineered concrete slabs make it ideal for long-term use in harsh dairy conditions.

Technical Highlights

• Stores up to 400,000 weight records with complete herd statistics
• Displays total, average, highest, and lowest weights for each session
• Generates weight distribution and weekly trend graphs
• Matches tags with management numbers for easy recordkeeping
• Includes Dairy Scale indicator, platform set, and power supply

Smarter Herd Management Starts Here

The Delmer Dairy Weighing Scale provides dairy farmers with reliable, data-driven insights to improve herd performance, feed efficiency, and reproduction—all automatically. It’s more than just a weighing system; it’s a step toward intelligent, precision-based dairy management.
