Funding boost for UK projects to improve poultry welfare
October 30, 2024 (Poultry News)
The UK government is granting £4.5M to researchers exploring AI’s applications in poultry production. The FeedFlow and NetFLOX360 partnership projects seek to use AI models to alert farmers instantly when they spot concerning changes in flock behavior or health metrics, rather than waiting for routine inspections to discover issues. By connecting data between farms and processing plants, they also seek to help track how on-farm conditions affect the final quality of the birds – letting farmers adjust feed, temperature and other factors more precisely.
