China Suppliers ECI-300 Pig Back-fat Measuring Instrument - Durable All-Metal Case, Triple Layer Measurement, Auto Shut-off Factory
Description
ECI-300 Animal Back-fat Measuring Instrument is a portable device designed for pig farms. The full-metal body with one-button measurement function and 10 hours of ultra-long battery life are suitable for high-intensity work, which helps scientific feeding management. 1mm resolution can identify the subtle fat changes, and regular calibration with the calibration column guarantees the accuracy of the data. Measurement results help farmers to quantitatively assess the degree of animal fattening and thinning, such as back-fat thickness > 18mm suggests the need to adjust the feed energy ratio to avoid excessive fattening. It is primarily used to measure the back fat in swine but can also be used to measure fat in cattle, sheep and other land animals, as well as blubber measurement in aquatic animals. Measurements are non-invasive—no piercing of the skin with the consequent danger of infection. The animals are neither hurt nor irritated.
The most accurate place to measure back-fat is to move your finger over the pig's ribcage to find the last rib, which will determine the front and back position, and 65mm (2.5 inches) on either side of the spine bone, which will determine the left and right positions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What animals can the ECI-300 measure back-fat for?
It is primarily used for swine, but it is also suitable for measuring fat in cattle, sheep, and other land animals, as well as blubber thickness in aquatic animals.
Is the measurement process safe and comfortable for the animals?
Yes, the measurements are completely non-invasive. Since there is no skin piercing, there is no risk of infection, and the animals remain calm and unhurt.
Where is the best measurement location on swine?
Locate the pig's last rib along the ribcage to determine the front-to-back position, then measure 65mm (2.5 inches) outward on either side of the spine.
How long does the battery last during field operations?
The built-in battery provides over 10 hours of continuous outdoor working time. To conserve energy, the device automatically powers off after 2 minutes of inactivity.
How many layers of back-fat can the device measure?
The ECI-300 can measure up to 3 levels of back-fat layers simultaneously with a quick 1-second, single-key measurement operation.
Is the device waterproof and easy to clean?
Yes, the host design is waterproof and washable, making it easy to clean and highly durable for demanding farm environments.
