A Walk Over Weighing (WOW) system allows you to easily weigh animals on a regular basis. Animals voluntarily weigh themselves by walking over the scales, with no intervention required.
Regular weighing means that you can:
closely monitor weight trends
identify poor performers
optimise breeding programmes
catch health issues early
Components of a WOW system
All WOW systems consist of these hardware items:
A WOW (Walk Over Weighing) Platform with built-in load bars. |  |
A Control Unit, containing an EID reader, a weigh scale and a modem to connect to the internet. |
 |
An EID Antenna which pics up the magnetic signal from animal EID ear tags. |
 |
Flexi WOW 4000C
Dairy WOW 4000
How WOW works
When an animal walks over the Platform, its EID tag is read by the EID Antenna and its weight is captured. The Control Unit sends the EID and weight data to Datamars Livestock cloud software via the internet. Users can view or edit animal data using a mobile phone or PC.
