Definition
As opposed to conventional poultry management that mainly relies on basic environment control systems, smart poultry management utilizes multiple sensors, analysis, visualization, and communication technologies to assist decision making and optimize farm stewardship. With the aid of these advanced technologies, poultry farmers will be able to achieve enhanced indoor environments, real-time monitoring of animal-based measures, objective animal assessment, early detection of abnormality, on-demand and remote flock inspection, timely decision making, and farm automation. Precision poultry farming and precision livestock farming (PLF) for poultry both have similar definitions as smart poultry management.
Overview
With advances in genetics, environment management, and nutrition, poultry producers now can produce chicken meat and eggs with far greater efficiency than ever before. While...
