The Goals of the Solution

  • The Goals of the Solution:

    The aim of the project is to develop a system usable in stables for fattening broiler breeders with the help of joint know-how, applied R&D of advanced intelligent technologies. The output will be a platform for efficient management of breeding based on the principles of Agriculture 4.0, and this technological system will consist of three sub-modules: a system for:

    1. determining the average weight of the flock,
    2. searching and determining the location of dead animals,
    3. detecting heat stress of the flock based on the analysis of data from the barn.

    These technological solutions will be based on the use of computer techniques (machine vision, machine learning, data mining, etc.), thus replacing and significantly improving the existing outdated technological procedures.
