Application of Machine Learning in the Big Data for Broiler Breeders Recorded by a Precision Feeding System
DownloadSpring 2021
A precision feeding (PF) system developed at the University of Alberta is an innovation in precise nutrition and management for broiler breeders. The PF system can automatically feed individual broiler breeders and record vast amounts of real-time data regarding the feeding activity of individual...

Evaluation of broiler breeder reproductive management on hunger, reproduction and offspring performance using a precision feeding system
DownloadFall 2020
Body weight (BW) of female broiler breeders is strictly controlled through feed restriction to optimize reproductive performance. A precision feeding (PF) system feeds birds individually based on live BW, which allows for precise feed allocations and BW management. To achieve good flock health...

Metabolic status and reproduction in precision-fed broiler breeders: Impact of growth trajectories
DownloadFall 2021
Broiler breeders are subjected to feed restriction programs to control excessive growth. However, current levels of feed restriction are becoming severe, raising welfare and suboptimal reproductive performance concerns in underfed breeders. To circumvent the issue, we studied new strategic growth...
