Monitoring activity index and behaviors of cage-free hens with advanced deep learning technologies.

Poultry science
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...

Needle tracking in low-resolution ultrasound volumes using deep learning.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Clinical needle insertion into tissue, commonly assisted by 2D ultrasound imaging for real-time navigation, faces the challenge of precise needle and probe alignment to reduce out-of-plane movement. Recent studies investigate 3D ultrasound i...

Tracing the genealogy origin of geographic populations based on genomic variation and deep learning.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
Assigning a query individual animal or plant to its derived population is a prime task in diverse applications related to organismal genealogy. Such endeavors have conventionally relied on short DNA sequences under a phylogenetic framework. These met...

Non-destructive prediction of fertility and sex in chicken eggs using the short wave near-infrared region.

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of a handheld near-infrared device (900-1600 nm) to predict fertility and sex (male and female) traits in-ovo. The NIR reflectance spectra of the egg samples were collected on days 0, 7, 14 and ...

Characterization of the prevalence of Salmonella in different retail chicken supply modes using genome-wide and machine-learning analyses.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
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...

An effective deep learning fusion method for predicting the TVB-N and TVC contents of chicken breasts using dual hyperspectral imaging systems.

Food chemistry
Total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and total viable count (TVC) are important freshness indicators of meat. Hyperspectral imaging combined with chemometrics has been proven to be effective in meat detection. However, a challenge with chemometrics ...

Integrating Bioinformatics and Machine Learning for Genomic Prediction in Chickens.

Genes
Genomic prediction plays an increasingly important role in modern animal breeding, with predictive accuracy being a crucial aspect. The classical linear mixed model is gradually unable to accommodate the growing number of target traits and the increa...

Mobile Robot + IoT: Project of Sustainable Technology for Sanitizing Broiler Poultry Litter.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The traditional aviary decontamination process involves farmers applying pesticides to the aviary's ground. These agricultural defenses are easily dispersed in the air, making the farmers susceptible to chronic diseases related to recurrent exposure....

Transforming Poultry Farming: A Pyramid Vision Transformer Approach for Accurate Chicken Counting in Smart Farm Environments.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Smart farm environments, equipped with cutting-edge technology, require proficient techniques for managing poultry. This research investigates automated chicken counting, an essential part of optimizing livestock conditions. By integrating artificial...

DeepOCR: A multi-species deep-learning framework for accurate identification of open chromatin regions in livestock.

Computational biology and chemistry
A wealth of experimental evidence has suggested that open chromatin regions (OCRs) are involved in many critical biological activities, such as DNA replication, enhancer activity, and gene transcription. Accurately identifying OCRs in livestock speci...
