Animal Weighing Scales for Livestock and Animal Husbandry
On a farm, an animal’s weight is the best single sign of how it’s doing. A calf that isn’t gaining, a goat that’s lost weight, a bull ready for sale: the scale shows it before the eye does. Weight also decides the right dose of medicine and the price when animals are bought and sold. Guessing weight by eye is routinely off by a large margin.
Hindustan Scale Company (HSCo), Mumbai, has made weighing scales since 1955. For dairy farms, goat and sheep farms, cattle traders, gaushalas and veterinary centres we supply animal weighing scales with side bars or full grill cages from 150 kg to 1,000 kg, hanging scales for small animals and feed, and non-contact animal thermometers. Tell us which animals and how many, and we’ll name the scale.

Weighing to track growth
Weighing each animal once a month on the same scale, at the same time of day, shows who is growing and who isn’t long before it’s visible. It also makes dosing accurate, since most medicines are given by body weight. A scale with a cage or side bars makes weighing quick and safe for both the animal and the handler, and a display that holds the reading means a restless animal doesn’t have to stand perfectly still.
Buying and selling animals by weight
Animals sold by eye are almost always misjudged, and the seller or the buyer loses. Weighing on a stamped scale settles the price fairly and quickly. For traders and markets, a sturdy cage scale on wheels can be moved between pens, and a printed slip for every animal keeps the records straight.
