Both Smart Agritech's and Skov's cameras are mounted above the stalls in the barn. The cameras take pictures of the pigs and an algorithm analyses these to estimate the weight of the individuals.

Description of the cameras

From Smart Agritech's camera, the information is displayed in an app that generates daily notifications of any deviations as well as growth charts and images. Smart Agritech also has a variant for ID-tagged animals that recognises the individual.

iDOL 65 camera weighing is an integral part of SKOV's ProGrow system that controls ventilation, temperature and monitors feed and water consumption. The camera weighing system provides information on the current average weight of the pigs in a pen and the distribution of the pigs' weight. Weighing pigs manually is labour intensive. And manual weighing of the pig is stressful for the pig and also a risk of injury. Both CCTV systems allow for early detection of changes and save time for the farmer by eliminating manual weighing.
