Dr. Wayne Daley, advisor to the Agricultural Technology Research Program, Georgia Tech Research Institute will discuss how the integration of virtual and augmented reality interfaces between machines and people can help with loading machines and manipulating product in poultry production. Comas Haynes, faculty, Georgia Tech Research Institute, will share information on a system and method for rotation […]
Relatively inexpensive sensors, widespread use of IoT technologies, cloud computing, AI and machine learning are making it possible to gather and analyze data from all the poultry houses in a complex. But how will poultry growers and integrated companies use this data improve their operations, bird welfare and the overall sustainability of the industry? How […]
Chronic labor shortages in poultry processing plants were only exacerbated by the pandemic. Robots have been in poultry plants performing routine tasks like stacking boxes on pallets, but jobs that require more flexibility and need to be performed on items of varying shapes and sizes have been more difficult to automate. How and when will […]
Alexandra Smith, Ph.D., manager of microbial ecology and genetics, Arm and Hammer, will share insights on the future of poultry gut microbiome control. Mark Fife, Ph.D., head of biotechnology, Aviagen will present about the possibilities and hurdles facing CRISPR and other genomic techniques for poultry. Join us for a discussion of CRISPR techniques and what potential […]
Register for the webinar here From WATT Poultry: Learn about a multistakeholder initiative that supports ethically, socially, scientifically, and economically responsible and sustainable poultry production. Poultry welfare has come a long way. Many improvements in welfare were brought on by advances in our understanding of poultry management and scientific discoveries. Others were introduced by consumer […]
