	abstract = {Individual animal weights can be obtained manually or automatically in a computer-compatible format with an electronic scale. If an electronic identification, subdermal body temperature sensing unit is interfaced with an electronic scale, the weight, identification and subdermal body temperature of individually identified animals can be obtained either manually or automatically, thus eliminating transcriptional and phonetic errors. Electronics can be used at remote locations despite extreme temperatures, dust and fluctuation in battery power. For research purposes, daily weight fluctuations, watering behavior and subdermal body temperature can be recorded continuously. When the system becomes commercially available, increased livestock production at a lower cost will be possible.},
