Expected Bird Weight
Trio collects bird weight data. Factors to set up when configuring how Trio measures
weight:
•
Reference Bird Curve: The reference weight is a value that reflects the birds’
expected target weight.
o
Enabled: Trio provides a weight curve (by growth day). The user can choose
an industry standard template or manually define a curve.
o
Disabled: Trio provides a reference weight that can be edited.
•
Separate male/female weighing: When enabled:
o
Scales can be defined as male, female, or both.
o
Weight range can be specified for both genders.
o
If the bird curve is enabled, there are separate curves for each gender.
To enable editing the weight range and bird scale definition, define at least one
scale in Devices & Sensors. Two bird scales are required for weighing male and
female bird separately.

Reference Bird Curve
As an option, Trio provides a default growth curve which increases according to the
average weight. If required, there is an option to use a bird curve. These bird curves do not
change according to the birds’ actual weight. If required, you can edit the growth days and
bird weights.
