Abstract

See full text

A method of managing animals includes receiving animals to be kept at an animal management location for an undetermined time before being removed at a shipping date. The animals area organized in several arrival groups. A future weight estimate and a future backfat estimate are generated for each of the animals. Each of the estimates is generated using at least one physical measurement of the animal and an equation for making estimations for a single animal. Based on the future weight estimate and the future backfat estimate, each of the animals is sorted into one of several predetermined sort groups for separate management at the animal management location. The predetermined sort groups are different from the arrival groups and are associated with different predefined shipping dates. A system for managing animals includes a measurement component and an estimation component that generates the future weight estimate and the future backfat estimate.
