Sentinel Hog Scale
Val-Co’s new free-choice Sentinel Hog Scale is backed by six years of performance testing. It incorporates the hog’s natural behavior and eliminates the need for special pen design and human intervention. It records live body weight without human intervention and collects data including average weight for different size groups, average daily gain, uniformity, growth curves, and daily sample counts. Sentinel Scales can improve production with early disease detection, accurate slaughter weights and tracking of growth rates.
