Identification of Taihang-chicken-specific genetic markers using genome-wide SNPs and machine learning: BREED-SPECIFIC SNPS OF TAIHANG CHICKEN.

Poultry science
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...

Predictive method for poultry carcass visceral dimensions using 3D point cloud and Genetic Algorithm-based wavelet neural network.

Poultry science
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...

An investigation of machine learning methods applied to genomic prediction in yellow-feathered broilers.

Poultry science
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...

Predicting egg production rate and egg weight of broiler breeders based on machine learning and Shapley additive explanations.

Poultry science
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...

Development and validation of machine-learning models for monitoring individual behaviors in group-housed broiler chickens.

Poultry science
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 ...

Machine learning to attribute the source of Campylobacter infections in the United States: A retrospective analysis of national surveillance data.

The Journal of infection
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...

Tracking perching behavior of cage-free laying hens with deep learning technologies.

Poultry science
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...

Machine learning predictive modeling for condemnation risk assessment in antibiotic-free raised broilers.

Poultry science
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 ...

Online chicken carcass volume estimation using depth imaging and 3-D reconstruction.

Poultry science
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...

Research Note: A deep learning method segments chicken keel bones from whole-body X-ray images.

Poultry science
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...
