Reduce Stress And Anxiety
Stress caused by handling and moving the animals can result in higher heart rates, elevated body temperatures, weakened immune function, and high glucocorticoid values. That translates into reduced productivity and ultimately less profit. When the animals are anxiously waiting to be weighed or moved to various locations, it can also lead to weight loss and make weighing more difficult. Using portable scales can make weighing easier, more accurate, help to minimize shrinking and other potential negative effects.
