Easier access to animal performance data and the ability to easily monitor and edit this data is becoming increasingly important as producers face ever increasing demands on their time.

Better data and easier ways to use it also allow for better management decisions.
Gallagher has recently released a significant software update for its TW/TWR range of weigh scales and Animal Performance cloud-based software that improve the already great offering.
“The range of updates to our software will provide a variety of new measures, allowing users to more easily, and more comprehensively, manage their animal performance and traceability,” Gallagher business development manager for animal performance and traceability Mike Hemsley said.
Mike said he was particularly excited about the benefits for producers from new features such as having a full animal history available on their mobile phone.
This brings a level of flexibility not previously available.
The combination of these features makes the cloud application and TW/TWR range more powerful than ever, providing enhanced tools for producers to manage traceability and animal performance.
The continuing evolution of tools within the suite of products and software is indicative of the new name for this category, ‘Animal Performance and Traceability’, that replaces the former name of ‘Weighing and Electronic Identification’.
Mike said as this segment had evolved over the years, it had moved beyond just weighing and tracking EIDs, to providing the ability to record and monitor many variable animal performance traits.
It provides a rich history of the performance of animals and tools to make better animal management decisions.
The new name of ‘Animal Performance and Traceability’ better reflected both what the hardware and software suite could do and the development of future features, Mike said.
This category is aimed at helping producers make easier and better-informed decisions in their livestock operations.
“Gallagher is committed to supporting our customers with smarter, simpler solutions that make farm life easier and more profitable,” Mike said.
“We’re working with our reseller partners to solve problems in smarter ways, integrating data, and making an impact for end users.”
