The poultry industry faces insufficiency in monitoring the weight and maturity of broiler chickens due to the time-consuming process of manually weighing them with traditional scales, which required to be repeated weekly.
• Inefficient manual weighing methods for broilers
• Time-consuming process for farmers
• Inconsistent monitoring of weight and maturity
• Practical difficulties in scaling up for large farms
• Increased labour requirements for weekly weighing
Automated or semi-automated systems can achieve anoptimal state for monitoring broiler chickens’ weight andmaturity. By utilising advanced technologies and datamanagement software for real-time tracking, the processcan be streamlined, accuracy enhanced, and the labourburden on farmers significantly reduced.
Implementing automated or semi-automated systemscould streamline the process, saving time and reducinglabour costs for farmers. It would also improve accuracyin tracking growth and enable better decision-makingregarding feed management and health interventions.Ultimately, this would lead to enhanced productivity andprofitability within the poultry industry.
