Zusammenfassung:	Devices and methods for monitoring the weight of animals in an animal housing facility including a support surface configured so that at least one of the animals can stand on the support surface, a force sensor, attached to the support surface, for measuring a force indicative of a weight of the animal on the support surface, a rail system actuator for suspending the device from a rail or track of a rail system and propelling it along the rail or track, a processor receiving a signal from the force sensor indicative of a weight of the animal or animals on the support surface when the support surface is located at a target position, and determining a weight measurement of an individual animal based on the signal.
