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. For example, 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?
It is designed primarily for swine (pigs), but it is also highly effective for measuring fat in cattle, sheep, and other land animals, as well as blubber in aquatic animals.
Is the measurement process safe for the animals?
Yes, the device is non-invasive and uses ultrasonic technology. There is no piercing of the skin, meaning no pain, irritation, or risk of infection for the animal.
How accurate is the device?
The ECI-300 features a 1mm resolution and an accuracy of ±1mm. It includes a calibration column to ensure data reliability over time.
How long does it take to get a result?
The device is designed for efficiency; it can measure three levels of back-fat thickness in approximately 1 second with a single key press.
Is the instrument suitable for all-day farm work?
Absolutely. It features a full-metal body for durability and a high-capacity battery that provides over 10 hours of working time on a single charge.
How do I maintain the device?
The host is waterproof and washable, making it easy to clean after farm use. It also features an automatic power-off function to preserve battery life when not in use.
