Livestock Scales -TWR-5

The Future of Farming is Here: Why the Gallagher TWR-5 Weigh Scale is the Ultimate Livestock Data Hub

In modern farming, data is the new feed. To maximize performance and profitability, you need to move beyond simple weight capture to deep, actionable animal insights. The Gallagher TWR-5 Weigh Scale and Reader isn’t just an indicator—it’s an advanced, rugged data collector with a fully integrated Electronic Identification (EID) reader, designed to streamline your entire animal management process right in the crush.

If you’re looking to save time, reduce human error, and make smarter, data-driven decisions, the TWR-5 is the powerhouse upgrade your farm needs.

Dual Power: Weighing and EID, All-in-One

The TWR-5’s standout feature is its built-in EID reader. This patented integration combines two critical pieces of hardware into a single, intuitive unit.

• Integrated EID Reader: Connect an external Gallagher Antenna Panel (sold separately) directly to the TWR-5. As an animal enters the crate, the TWR-5 automatically reads and links its EID tag to its weight, eliminating the need for a separate reader or controller.

• Built for Simplicity: This all-in-one design makes setup cleaner, operation faster, and drastically reduces the chances of errors during high-volume sessions, allowing a single operator to efficiently handle both weighing and data collection.

Advanced Data Recording: Beyond Just Weight

The TWR-5 transforms a simple weigh session into a comprehensive health and performance audit.

• Record Up to 9 Traits: Go far beyond basic weight. Simultaneously capture up to 9 extra pieces of animal life data, traits, activities, or treatments per session. This includes crucial data points like:

  • Condition Score

  • Medication Doses

  • Pregnancy Status

  • Custom Notes

• On-the-Spot Treatment Management: Accurately calculate and record medication doses and withholding periods right at the time of treatment, ensuring compliance and accuracy.

• Animal Notes and Alerts: Record vital notes against an animal instantly. You can even set note alerts that stop an action until acknowledged by the operator, making sure no critical information—like an animal requiring a specific vet check—is missed.

• Massive Capacity: With the ability to store up to 1,000,000 records, this scale can handle years of data for large flocks or herds.

Immediate Analysis and Drafting

Why wait until you’re back at the office to analyse performance? The TWR-5 puts powerful analytics right at your fingertips, allowing for immediate, smarter decisions in the yards.

• Intuitive Touch Screen: The large 7-inch, bright, high-clarity touch screen is outdoor-readable, making it easy to use even in direct sunlight. The interface is farmer-friendly and includes a full QWERTY keyboard for fast and easy data entry.

• Instant Performance Data: View individual animal weight gain or loss graphs and weight distribution plots directly on the device, providing real-time insights into your mob’s health and average daily gains.

• Precision Drafting: Sort your animals into up to 9 custom groups. Use weight, weight gain, a predetermined EID list, or the recorded traits to quickly and accurately draft animals. The TWR-5 can also be connected to and drive an automatic drafting gate for hands-free sorting.

Toughness and Connectivity You Can Trust

The TWR-5 is built to withstand the harshest farm environments while offering seamless connectivity for modern data flow.

• Rugged Durability: With an IP67 environmental protection rating and a toughened, scratch-proof glass screen, the TWR-5 is farm-ready, resistant to dust, water, and rough handling.

• Wireless Advantage: Bluetooth connectivity enables a cable-free connection to Gallagher Wireless Load bars—eliminating the risk of cables being damaged, chewed by rodents, or stood on by stock.

• Sync Data via Wi-Fi: Use the Wi-Fi feature to synchronize your animal data straight to the Gallagher Animal Performance (G.A.P.) web and mobile app without ever leaving the yards. Your data is then up-to-date and accessible on your phone, tablet, or PC for deeper analysis.

• Onboard Help: Never get stuck. The entire product manual is loaded into the unit, providing 24/7 onboard help tailored to the screen you are currently on.
