In modern intensive caged laying hen production, variations in egg-laying time (ELT) among layers often increase the workload for egg collection, thereby raising the costs of labor or power and reducing overall efficiency. For management purpose, ear...
Chick gender classification is crucial for optimizing poultry production, yet traditional methods such as vent sexing and ultrasound remain limited by human expertise, labor intensity, and insufficient resolution. This study introduces a novel approa...
The poultry industry relies on highly efficient production systems. For sustainable food production, where maintaining broiler welfare is crucial, it is essential to have robust data collection systems and automated methods for assessing broiler heal...
The study investigated gelatin extraction from chicken skin-head-feet (SHF) blend using conventional and ultrasound-assisted methods with food-grade acetic and citric acids. Ultrasound pretreatment was introduced as an intervention in the extraction ...
Heat stress is a major welfare problem in the poultry industry, altering broilers' activity levels. Advancements in image processing and machine learning provide opportunities to automatically quantify and analyze broiler activity. This study aimed t...
Dead on arrival (DOA) refers to animals, particularly poultry, that die during the pre-slaughter phase. Elevated rates of DOA frequently signify substandard welfare conditions and might stem from multiple causes, resulting in diminished productivity ...
In the domain of egg production, the application of automation technologies is essential for boosting productivity and quality. This study introduces an online monitoring system designed for egg quality assessment within caged environments, incorpora...
Taihang is an indigenous breed in Hebei Province and has a long history of evolution. To uncover the genetic basis and protect the genetic resources, it is important to develop accurate markers to identify Taihang at the molecular level. In this stud...
In order to avoid damaging viscera during poultry evisceration and enhance the economic value of poultry products, this paper proposes a predictive method for poultry carcass visceral dimensions based on 3D point cloud and a Genetic Algorithm-based W...
Artificial intelligence (AI) in animal behavior and welfare research is on the rise. AI can detect behaviors and localize animals in video recordings, thus it is a valuable tool for studying social dynamics. However, maintaining the identity of indiv...
