Weighing Measuring Tape
In stock
A veterinary weighing measuring tape (also known as a heart girth tape) is a highly portable, non-electronic diagnostic tool used to estimate the body weight of livestock and equines without using a digital scale. By correlating the anatomical circumference of an animal's chest cavity (girth) with its overall mass, the tape allows veterinarians and farmers to calculate quick weight assessments directly in the field.

Specs & features.
The tool consists of a long, highly flexible ribbon housed either as a loose strip or within a spring-loaded, button-activated retractable pocket case. Unlike standard hardware tapes that only display linear distances (inches or centimeters), a veterinary weight tape features mathematically calibrated conversion tables printed directly onto its surface.
No specifications have been listed.
- Dual-Scale Calibration: Tapes feature linear metrics (inches/cm) on one side and pre-calculated weight scales (lbs/kg) on the reverse side.
- Breed and Species Specificity: Specialized charts account for unique body mass distributions among different animals. Some tapes feature distinct sub-scales for beef cattle, dairy cows (like Holsteins or Jerseys), swine, and horses on a single ribbon.
- Veterinary-Grade Durability: Built from heavy-duty, non-stretch materials like vinyl-coated fiberglass or PVC. This construction ensures the tape resists tearing and stretching while remaining completely waterproof for easy sanitization between farms
