Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The poultry industry is facing increasing challenges in areas such as productivity, sustainability, and animal welfare. To address these concerns, the integration of smart technologies, electronic devices, and automated control systems has emerged as a promising solution. The adoption of intelligent systems in poultry farming offers substantial benefits, enhancing both operational efficiency and overall farm management.
Despite the remarkable advantages that intelligent systems offer, their adoption in poultry farming remains limited due to barriers related to system integration and automation. To fully harness the potential of these technologies, it is crucial to foster a greater integration of sensor networks, smart systems, and rapid data-response mechanisms. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on the application and impact analysis of these smart technologies in poultry farming management systems. The use of artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), sensor networks, and big data analytics has proven to significantly improve poultry production. These innovations contribute to reduced production costs, minimized labor, and the creation of a more stress-free environment for the poultry, ultimately leading to higher productivity, increased profitability, and more informed decision-making in farm operations.
This Special Issue aims to delve into the potential, innovations, and challenges associated with the implementation of intelligent systems in poultry farming, providing valuable insights into the future of this essential industry.
