Automation in the zootechnics industry
Weighing systems in feed preparation and storage
Automation in the zootechnics industry means using technological systems instead of manpower to prepare and distribute food in animal farms.
NBC Elettronica Group provides load cells that allow you to automate some of these processes such as, for example, setting the dosage and storing the feed.
Improving feed efficiency and zootechnics farm profitability has always been the goal of every breeder and producer. In recent decades, the development of innovative technologies in the zootechnics, has allowed farmers to improve performance both in the growth and correct care of animals and in the quality of work of companies.
The new technologies, in fact, they allow in particular to realize in an ever more complete way the so-called precision feeding, and this thanks to:
- use of high precision sensors ,
- computer processing of sensor data,
- optional for mixer wagons,
- also robotic machines for unfeed distribution.

The advantages for companies in the market
All farms can now optimize the feeding process, manage ingredients, monitor animal health and provide consumers with high quality and safe products. The machines also make it possible to eliminate or reduce tiring and dangerous activities carried out by man, with benefits in terms of health and safety of agricultural workers and with economic advantages deriving from the greater productivity of the workforce.
There are therefore many benefits for companies in the zootechnics that decide to automate their processes thanks to the installation of weighing systems produced by NBC Elettronica Group:
- increase of the efficiency of the production process;
- improvement of the health and welfare of animals;
- benefits of the energy efficiency of the company as a consequence of the greater functionality of the electric motors and the reduction of leftovers in the manger;
- reduction of working times;
- greater environmental sustainability thanks to the lower use of fossil fuels and the improved level of welfare that animals achieve;
- ability to calculate production costs, savings and earnings related to food shopping in real time.

NBC Elettronica Group load cells in the Zootechnics
NBC Elettronica Group supplies load cells applicable to weighing systems which allow to satisfy the demands of the livestock sector and in particular are used for dosing and storing feed.
Shear load cells, compression load cells, load indicators weight, junction boxes and dosing tools are used to obtain the correct protein-vitamin balance in feed mills and to automatically monitor storage without waste or loss of time.
