A reliable and low-cost deep learning model integrating convolutional neural network and transformer structure for fine-grained classification of chicken Eimeria species.

Poultry science
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...

In vivo prediction of abdominal fat and breast muscle in broiler chicken using live body measurements based on machine learning.

Poultry science
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...

Automated identification of chicken distress vocalizations using deep learning models.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
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...

Effects of ground robot manipulation on hen floor egg reduction, production performance, stress response, bone quality, and behavior.

PloS one
Reducing floor eggs in cage-free (CF) housing systems is among primary concerns for egg producers. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of ground robot manipulation on reduction of floor eggs. In addition, the effects of ground ...

Combining deep learning and fluorescence imaging to automatically identify fecal contamination on meat carcasses.

Scientific reports
Food safety and foodborne diseases are significant global public health concerns. Meat and poultry carcasses can be contaminated by pathogens like E. coli and salmonella, by contact with animal fecal matter and ingesta during slaughter and processing...

Research Note: Study on the antibacterial activity of Chinese herbal medicine against Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus of duck origin in laying hens.

Poultry science
Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus were derived and identified from the ducks infected with fungi. In order to investigate the effectiveness of Chinese herbal medicines against Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus, in vitro antibact...

Objective scoring of footpad dermatitis in broiler chickens using image segmentation and a deep learning approach: camera-based scoring system.

British poultry science
1. Footpad dermatitis (FPD) can be used as an important indicator of animal welfare and for economic evaluation; however, human scoring is subjective, biased and labour intensive. This paper proposes a novel deep learning approach that can automatica...

Enzymatic extraction and functional properties of phosphatidylcholine from chicken liver.

Poultry science
An environmentally sustainable method to extract phosphatidylcholine (PC) from chicken liver (PCCL) and its functional properties were studied. The extraction times, enzymatic hydrolysis time, the solid-liquid ratio as well as types of enzymes (prota...

Comparative Study on the Efficacy of MF 59, ISA70 VG, and Nano-Aluminum Hydroxide Adjuvants, Alone and with Nano-Selenium on Humoral Immunity Induced by a Bivalent Newcastle+Avian Influenza Vaccine in Chickens.

Archives of Razi Institute
Newcastle disease (ND) and Avian influenza (AI) are the major problems and the most economically important viral diseases in the poultry industry; therefore, vaccination against these diseases is considered one of the most effective ways of preventio...

Decompartmentalisation as a simple color manipulation of plant-based marbling meat alternatives.

Biomaterials
Recent efforts for cell-based meat cuts focus on engineering edible scaffolds, with visual cues which are key to enhancing consumer acceptance, receiving less attention Here, we employed artificial intelligence (AI)-based screening of potential plant...
