My Farm

• The system, which can be applied to cattle and sheep, is made with 4K (3D) 3D special cameras with LIDAR.

• It takes all measurements of the passing animal within milliseconds by shooting from a height of approximately 3 meters for large cattle and 2 meters for small cattle.

• At the same time, the animal's body temperature can be detected with a thermal camera that can be added to the system if desired.

• It identifies your animal by reading the animal's electronic tag, or by reading the numbers used on most farms, which are approximately 4 cm in size, with straps that you will put around your animal's neck.

• It records all the measurements it makes to your database via wifi (local network) network or internet with the identity it detects.

• The measurements determined record the general measurements of the animal with millimetric precision, such as rump height, withers height, back height, tailbone height, chest depth, chest circumference, head length, head width, ear measurements, body length and most importantly body weight.

• It is very important for your animals to be calm and stress-free while passing through the "Ghost Scale" for the accuracy of the measurements, so do not chase your animals in any way while passing through the scale and avoid any movements that may scare them.

• This stress situation becomes more important for small cattle, as it is known, small cattle are more active and more stressed, in order for this situation not to affect the measurement and weighing processes, if they are passed through corridors such as vaccination paths and passed through the "Ghost Scale", more accurate results will be obtained. If necessary, animals should be sent one by one through a small door that does not enter the scale's field of vision, as if they were to enter the scale one by one.

• It has no mechanical parts, your animals cannot break or damage this system, it serves for a very long time, does not require maintenance.

• If you prefer a plug-and-play product, you will not have any installation costs, you just need to mount the 3D LIDAR camera in the area where the animals pass with 2-3 screws at the specified heights and plug it in. The system can automatically connect to the camera and start the weighing process.

• There is no cable connection between the 3D LIDAR camera and the computer in the plug-and-play system. The system recognizes each other through its own local wifi network, and provides measurement information and image streaming without any problems through this wifi network. It has the capacity to communicate from a distance of approximately 25 meters in an open area.

• You can perform measurements with more than one 3D LIDAR camera in the plug-and-play system. If you have a lot of animals, you can create 4 measurement points to complete the measurement and weighing processes more quickly. If there are more than 4 measurement points, we have solutions for that too.

• In Ghost Scales, separate systems are used for small and large cattle. Small and large cattle cannot be measured and weighed with the same system.

• For the Small Cattle Ghost Scale, you can either choose the queuing corridor that we produce from 2 mm box profile, or you can use the vaccination path if you have one in your business, or you can manufacture a wooden vaccination path as preferred in most farms and solve the problem of queuing the animals.

• If you want to manufacture the queuing corridor yourself, we can send you the dimensioned drawings free of charge, this way your animals will not have any problems queuing.

• To identify your animals and record each measurement in the database and then follow the development of your animal, you can obtain neck numbers and straps from us, or you can use numbering straps sold in the market. The system will automatically recognize these numbers as well.

• In order to prevent you from having trouble understanding whether the angle of the camera is correct during camera installation, the camera will show you the position of the animals by placing a plus (+) sign on the ground where they will walk, and you will understand whether your camera is installed at the correct angle thanks to this plus sign.

The importance of frequent weighing of animals in large dairy farms;

The transition period in the cow's life cycle (from three weeks before to three weeks after calving) is considered the most interesting stage in the life of dairy cows. During this period, animals undergo many anatomical, physiological, hormonal and metabolic changes. Therefore, it is the period of greatest concern in terms of nutrition and when metabolic and infectious disorders occur.

In the past few decades, improvements in general management, nutrition, health and animal husbandry have provided significant increases in the productivity of cows. However, some experts have associated increases in milk yield with decreases in pregnancy rates. Experts state that high-yielding cows have a higher negative energy balance (NEB) and its magnitude is directly related to reproductive failure. Considering that the ideal calving interval should be 13-14 months, cows should remain pregnant for up to 120-150 days after calving and those who fail to meet this target are more likely to be removed from the herd after several attempts.

The return of ovarian activity after calving is closely associated with NEB, which is common in early lactation. This is due to the low intake capacity, which causes energy input to be lower than production and maintenance demands. Therefore, cows use their body reserves to meet the energy requirements for lactation.

Since most cows experience a period of NEB and then recover from this physiological state, some experts rightly propose the "adaptation to NEB" theory. The dairy industry has traditionally adopted the body condition score (BCS) to assess live weight loss in early lactation. However, recent studies have shown that BCS may lack the sensitivity to detect differences in visceral fat accumulation that may increase the risk of peripartum disease and discomfort.

A way to determine the level of individual adaptation of fresh cows to NEB is to measure body weight change, as cows with excessive mobilization of body reserves are at higher risk of metabolic disorders, weak animals have poor reproductive performance and lower milk yield.

Frequent weighing of dairy cows is very important in order to increase yield.
