This tutorial, rooted in the context of livestock research, is designed to assist novice or non-programmers in visualizing trends in livestock exports between the US and Japan using Python and generative AI systems such as Microsoft's Copilot and Goo...
One of the primary challenges for robotic manure cleaners in pig farming is to plan the shortest path to designated cleaning points under specified conditions with minimal processing cost and time, while avoiding collisions. However, pigs are randoml...
Providing perches in cage-free (CF) housing offers significant benefits for laying hens, such as improved leg muscle development, bone health, reduced abdominal fat, and decreased fear and aggression. A precise detection method is essential to ensure...
Egg production rate and egg weight are core indicators for evaluating the production performance of broiler breeders. The accurate prediction of these indicators can significantly enhance farm economic efficiency and can provide a basis for future pr...
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...
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...
Machine learning (ML) methods have rapidly developed in various theoretical and practical research areas, including predicting genomic breeding values for large livestock animals. However, few studies have investigated the application of ML in broile...
The postweaning phase is stressful for rabbits due to maternal separation and the introduction of solid feed. Stress can be aggravated when animals are subjected to thermal discomfort. Therefore, thermal variables, such as air temperature, which infl...
Animals' individual behavior is commonly monitored by live or video observation by a person. This can be labor intensive and inconsistent. An alternative is the use of machine learning-based computer vision systems. The objectives of this study were ...
