The new Flockwise project aims to develop a sensor-embedded flock management system that utilizes AI to enhance health, welfare, and productivity in laying hens.
Increased productivity through improved hen health could yield an additional £40,000 to £110,000 per flock and potentially create 1.7 billion more eggs annually.
Facing challenges like rising costs and avian influenza, the agricultural sector seeks innovative solutions to boost productivity while adhering to welfare and sustainability standards.
The collaborative effort for the Flockwise project includes notable partners such as Newcastle University and The Lakes Free Range Egg Co, focusing on advancing animal welfare.
