Winter weather puts poultry producers in a difficult position: how to keep barns warm and energy-efficient without compromising ventilation and air quality. As temperatures drop, producers naturally tighten buildings and reduce fresh air intake to conserve heat. But this essential winter strategy comes with important consequences. Reduced airflow, higher humidity, and tightly sealed barns create…

In the era of precision agriculture, connected sensors are transforming the management of poultry houses. By continuously measuring feed consumption, bird weight, and environmental conditions, they enable faster, data-driven, and more profitable decisions. Sensors Driving Performance Feed accounts for about 65% of a broiler’s production cost. Reducing waste and fine-tuning feed distribution are therefore essential.…

Supervising multiple poultry operations at once has never been more complex. Each site generates thousands of data points—on climate, feed, water, flock weight, or mortality—and each one can signal a potential risk. For managers, the real challenge is not just collecting information, but deciding where to focus attention and resources. The problem of information overload…

In livestock farming, the difference between catching a problem early and discovering it late can mean thousands of dollars in losses. A slight drop in feed consumption or a water system malfunction can go unnoticed for hours – but the impact on animal health and performance starts immediately. Real-time alerts are the key to success…
