Call us on : DELMER DLS-SG SERIES – SHEEP & GOAT AUTOMATIC WEIGHING AND SORTING SYSTEM
Automatic Sheep Drafter & Weighing System
The DELMER DLS-SG Series integrates electronic animal identification, individual sheep and goat weighing, and configurable automatic sorting into one livestock management solution.
Maintain individual animal weight records, identify animals reaching target market weight and organise your flock more efficiently.
Integrated Sheep and Goat Weighing & Sorting System
Simplify livestock handling with an integrated system that combines identification, weighing and automatic sorting.
The DELMER DLS-SG Series is designed to support organised sheep and goat farm management. It combines electronic animal identification, individual weighing and configurable automatic drafting in a coordinated workflow.
When an animal passes through the weighing system, its compatible electronic identification can be read and associated with its individual weight record. Based on configured sorting criteria, the animal can be directed towards the appropriate destination.
This helps farmers monitor animal growth, identify target market-weight animals, organise fattening groups and support breeding and replacement planning.
