ABSTRACT
In poultry production, animal management and control are essential to assure birds’ health, welfare and quality of poultry products. Innovative solutions based on digital technologies help farmers and scientist to control environmental conditions, to monitor bird welfare and health, without stressing them. Indeed, human presence in the poultry house is always very stressful but necessary to detect animal conditions. With the help of remote control, robots and sensors, any issues, diseases or problems can be detected at early stages and avoided or corrected.
