Device to sort living livestock, e.g. poultry, according to weight; has holder units for animals coupled to scales, where holder units have flaps to release bird above or below stored weight threshold

摘要

The device has at least one holder unit for an animal, coupled to scales to determine the weight of the animal. The holder unit is formed as a drop flap (4,5). A release unit for the flaps is provided, which is connected to the scales. The release unit stores a threshold weight, where if the weight of the animal is above or below the threshold, the flap is released. Preferably, the flaps are plate-like and support only one animal at a time.
