Computer vision technologies have been tested to monitor animals' behaviors and performance. High stocking density and small body size of chickens such as broiler and cage-free layers make effective automated monitoring quite challenging. Therefore, ...
1. In a non-cage environment, goose eggs are buried in litter and goose feathers, leading to contamination and discolouration. Such random distribution of goose eggs poses a great challenge to the recognition and location for intelligent picking by r...
Floor egg-laying behavior (FELB) is one of the most concerning issues in commercial cage-free (CF) houses because floor eggs (i.e., mislaid eggs on the floor) result in high labor costs and food safety concerns. Farms with poor management may have up...
The egg production of laying hens is crucial to breeding enterprises in the laying hen breeding industry. However, there is currently no systematic or accurate method to identify low-egg-production-laying hens in commercial farms, and the majority of...
This research describes the use of high-performance computing (HPC) and deep learning to create prediction models that could be deployed on edge AI devices equipped with camera and installed in poultry farms. The main idea is to leverage an existing ...

In this study, we develop an artificial intelligence model to predict the vulnerability of broiler production systems (broilers and facilities) to heat conditions using a fuzzy model approach. The model was designed with a multiple-input and a single...
Chicken coccidiosis is a disease caused by Eimeria spp. and costs the broiler industry more than 14 billion dollars per year globally. Different chicken Eimeria species vary significantly in pathogenicity and virulence, so the classification of diffe...
The purpose of this study was to predict the carcass characteristics of broilers using support vector regression (SVR) and artificial neural network (ANN) model methods. Data were obtained from 176 yellow feather broilers aged 100-day-old (90 males a...

The annual global production of chickens exceeds 25 billion birds, which are often housed in very large groups, numbering thousands. Distress calling triggered by various sources of stress has been suggested as an 'iceberg indicator' of chicken welfa...
