Abstract
The development and application of an automated weighing and analysis system for growth and feed efficiency studies are described. The system consists of an electronic balance connected, via a BCD interface cable, to a portable desk-top computer. Integral features of the computer are a display, paper tape printer, and a cassette tape drive for programs and data storage, all of which are necessary for efficient data procurement. Twenty-four pens of chicks and the remaining feed can be weighed, with electronic weight transfer to the computer, and a comprehensive output of raw data, calculated results, and statistical analyses can be obtained in approximately 1 hr. No manual data entries or calculations are necessary after weighing has been initiated. The results of a chick growth and feed efficiency experiment are presented.
