Shrinkage Weight Control

Optimize Shrinkage Weight Control for Better Processing Yields

Effectively managing shrinkage weight during processing is key to maximizing poultry yield and minimizing losses. By tracking crucial metrics like farm weight, hanged weight, death-in-arrival weight, and cull weight, you can make data-driven decisions that reduce shrinkage and improve overall operational efficiency.

Shrinkage Weight Control Feature

Accurate Weight Tracking for Optimal Processing

Accurate tracking of weight throughout the processing stages helps reduce shrinkage, improve handling practices, and identify transportation losses. By monitoring key metrics, you can enhance overall efficiency, ensure better quality control, and make necessary adjustments to optimize yield and streamline operations.

Accurate Farm Weight for Optimal Comparison

Accurately tracking birds' weight at the farm sets a baseline for analyzing shrinkage and yield during processing. Farm weight records allow for better comparison and highlight areas for operational improvement, ensuring that every step in the process is fine-tuned for maximum yield.

Monitor Hanged Weight for Efficient Processing

By closely monitoring the weight of birds once they are hanged, you gain critical insights into weight loss from transportation to pre-processing. This data allows for adjustments to reduce shrinkage, improve handling practices, and enhance overall processing efficiency.

Track Weight Loss from Death in Arrival (DIA)

Monitoring the weight of birds that arrive deceased gives you insights into the causes of transportation losses. Tracking DIA weight helps identify issues in transport or handling, leading to corrective actions that can improve future deliveries and reduce losses.

Analyze Cull Weight for Better Quality Control

Cull weight measures birds that are removed due to defects or illness. Understanding cull weight trends aids in assessing flock quality and guides decisions to enhance selection and health practices, which ultimately improves yield and resource management.
