Mechanical harvesting of broilers

Poultry Science, 1998
At the end of the growout phase of broiler production essentially all broilers are caught and loaded into coops or cages entirely by hand. The catching of broilers remains one of the few aspects of broiler production not yet automated. Vacuum systems, permanent conveyors recessed in the floors of growout facilities, collecting mats, scoops, and self ...

Design of Stocking Density of Broilers for Closed House in Wet Tropical Climates [PDF]

, 2014
The objectives of this research were to: 1) design the stocking density of broiler reared at a closed house system in wet tropical climates based on the heat released by broiler, 2) design broiler harvesting system based on the housing heat load, and 3 ...

Alternative Protein Sources in Poultry and Pig Nutrition—A Review

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are an essential nutrient for the viability of all animals, enabling organisms to grow, regenerate and defend themselves against pathogenic organisms. Soybean and soybean‐based materials are commonly used to supplement protein in animal nutrition.

The Dismal Harvest: The Uneven Landscapes of AI in Agriculture

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this intervention, I examine artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture through a political ecology lens, analysing how promises of productivity, efficiency, and sustainability take shape across uneven postcolonial landscapes. Building on feminist and critical agrarian perspectives, I focus on the material relations of farming to show that

Distinct genes and pathways associated with transcriptome differences in early cardiac development between fast- and slow-growing broilers.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Modern fast-growing broilers are susceptible to cardiac dysfunctions because their relatively small hearts cannot adequately meet the increased need of pumping blood through a large body mass.

Propolis‐Based Hybrid Nanoflowers as Multifunctional Nanozymes: Structural Integration of Polyphenols for Enhanced Catalytic and Antioxidant Activity

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Propolis is a polyphenol‐rich natural resin with well‐documented antioxidant activity; however, its practical application is restricted by poor aqueous solubility and limited stability. Herein, propolis‐based organic–inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (Prp‐Nfs) were synthesized by integrating a propolis extract into a Cu3(PO4)2·3H2O matrix under ...

Context‐Dependent Effects of Amino Acid Supplementation on Nestling Growth and Baseline Innate Immune Function

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We experimentally supplemented great tit nestlings with methionine, leucine, or tap water to test how essential amino acids influence growth and immune function in forest and suburban habitats. Supplementation increased mass gain in smaller forest nestlings and enhanced lysis activity with methionine in suburban populations.

Tunnel-Ventilated Broiler Houses: Broiler Performance and Operating Costs

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 1992
Abstract Interest continues to build in tunnel ventilation as a method of enhancing broiler performance and reducing mortality during warm weather. The perception that operating costs associated with this system may be high has caused concern. The purpose of this study was to collect and compare broiler performance data and operating costs of ...

Antibiotic susceptibility and high prevalence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli in iranian broilers [PDF]

, 2016
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli have rapidly spread worldwide and cause serious threats for public health. The study was conducted to determine the antibiotic resistance and characterization of ESBL producing E.
