Most farm manager want to know what is going on in their productions; how are the broilers performing, how big is the mortality rate, and so on. Gaining control and insight into poultry production can have a significant impact on a farm’s efficiency, profitability, and overall success.
Being well-informed about the various aspects of poultry production — from breeding and feeding to health management and environmental control — enables farm managers to make better decisions. This understanding helps in improving animal welfare, and ultimately, enhancing productivity.
A thorough knowledge of poultry health and behavior empowers farm managers to swiftly identify and address issues. This leads to healthier flocks, lower mortality rates, and reduced need for medical interventions, which can be costly and sometimes detrimental to the birds’ health and the quality of the produce.
Farm managers who have a deeper understanding of their poultry’s performance can achieve higher product quality. This includes better meat texture and flavor, as well as higher egg production rates and quality. Such improvements are often the result of well-managed feeding programs, optimal living conditions, and stress reduction strategies.
Modern poultry farms increasingly rely on data to inform their decisions. These data most often come from reliable and accurate sensors that are specially designed for the harsh environments in poultry houses. Monitoring data about the temperature, humidity, CO2 level, ammonia level, and feed supply can provide the farm manager with crucial data to ensure optimum living conditions in the barn.
Furthermore, control over the environment is essential in preventing the outbreak of diseases. Farmers with a good grasp of biosecurity measures can effectively protect their flocks from common diseases, ensuring continuous production and safeguarding against potential losses.
