Data on management practices used with automated milk feeders (AMF) are needed to identify factors associated with calf health in these systems. The objectives of this observational, longitudinal, cross-sectional study were to estimate the prevalence...
1. The purpose of this work was to support decision-making in poultry farms by performing automatic early detection of anomalies in egg production. 2. Unprocessed data were collected from a commercial egg farm on a daily basis over 7 years. Records f...
In confined swine buildings, temperature, humidity, and air quality are all important for animal health and productivity. However, the current swine building environmental control is only based on temperature; and evaluation and control methods based...
1. Machine vision and artificial neural network (ANN) procedures were used to estimate live body weight of broiler chickens in 30 1-d-old broiler chickens reared for 42 d. 2. Imaging was performed two times daily. To localise chickens within the pen,...
Ammonia (NH) is considered one of the significant pollutions contributor to indoor air quality and odor gas emission from swine house because of the negative impact on the health of pigs, the workers and local environment. Prediction models could pro...
Aggression among pigs adversely affects economic returns and animal welfare in intensive pigsties. In this study, we developed a non-invasive, inexpensive, automatic monitoring prototype system that uses a Kinect depth sensor to recognize aggressive ...
Metaphylaxis, the application of an antimicrobial to a cohort of cattle at arrival to a feedyard, is an important bovine respiratory disease (BRD) control strategy for certain cattle populations. Predictive modeling techniques could be used to assist...
Ventilation quality in summer layer houses is critical for heat stress prevention, production performance, and poultry welfare. Addressing the issue of "qualified environmental parameters but chicken discomfort" caused by traditional methods overlook...
The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) is an increasingly popular species in poultry production. Concern about poultry welfare, including quail, has resulted in a stronger focus for farms to transition to cage-free housing as highlighted by the 2020 ...
The demand for ethical and sustainable poultry production is driving up the importance of quail welfare. Because quail meat and eggs are in high demand, quails are frequently kept in harsh production environments that may harm their health and well-b...
