Purpose: Veterinary scales are designed to accurately measure the weight of animals for health assessments, medical treatments, and monitoring growth.
Types: - Platform Scales: Large, flat scales suitable for measuring larger animals like dogs, sheep, or cattle. - Bench Scales: Smaller and suitable for measuring smaller animals like cats and small dogs. - Crate Scales: Integrated into cages or crates for weighing animals without removing them from their enclosures.
Features: - Digital Readouts: Provide precise weight measurements and often include features like tare functions and weight hold. - Durability: Built to withstand the weight and movement of animals, with robust materials and construction.
Applications: - Veterinary Clinics: Used for routine check-ups, diagnostics, and treatment plans. - Animal Shelters: Helps in monitoring the health and growth of sheltered animals. - Farm Management: Used for weighing livestock to ensure proper growth and health.
Accuracy: High precision is crucial for monitoring health and treatment effectiveness, especially for smaller or sensitive animals.
Calibration: Regular calibration ensures that the scale remains accurate and reliable for veterinary use.
