Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen that causes salmonellosis, of which retail chicken meat is a major source. However, the prevalence of Salmonella in different retail chicken supply modes and the threat posed to consumers remains unclear. The preval...
Variability in the size of slaughtered chickens remains a longstanding challenge in the standardization of the poultry industry. To address this issue, we present a novel approach that uses volume as a grading metric for chicken carcasses. This innov...
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...
The condemnation of broiler carcasses in the poultry industry is a major challenge and leads to significant financial losses and food waste. This study addresses the critical issue of condemnation risk assessment in the discarding of antibiotic-free ...
Chickens' behaviors and activities are important information for managing animal health and welfare in commercial poultry houses. In this study, convolutional neural networks (CNN) models were developed to monitor the chicken activity index. A datase...
Most commercial laying hens suffer from sternum (keel) bone damage including deviations and fractures. X-raying hens, followed by segmenting and assessing the keel bone, is a key to automating the monitoring of keel bone condition. The aim of the cur...
OBJECTIVES: Integrating pathogen genomic surveillance with bioinformatics can enhance public health responses by identifying risk and guiding interventions. This study focusses on the two predominant Campylobacter species, which are commonly found in...
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...
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 ...
