A method of, as well as an apparatus for, weighing items of poultry, such as poultry or chicken carcasses, in conjunction with meat processing systems (5, 7). The method includes: a first step of providing a weighing bridge (1) having force measuring means (25); a second step of conveying a suspended item of poultry in a predefined path extending over the weighing bridge (1); a third step of transferring substantially the weight of the suspended item of poultry onto the weighing bridge; and a fourth step of reading out values detected by the force measuring means (25) and calculating an actual weight using an average of the detected force values over a predetermined period of time. The method in particular further comprises providing first and second successive load cells (25, 27; 29) in the measuring means and calculating the actual weight as an average of both load cell measurements. |
