Tracking floor eggs with machine vision in cage-free hen houses [PDF]
Poultry Science, 2023 Some of the major restaurants and grocery chains in the United States have pledged to buy cage-free (CF) eggs only by 2025 or 2030. While CF house allows hens to perform more natural behaviors (e.g., dust bathing, perching, and foraging on the litter floor), a particular challenge is floor eggs (i.e., mislaid eggs on litter floor). Floor eggs have high

Mislaying behavior detection in cage-free hens with deep learning technologies [PDF]
Poultry Science, 2023 Floor egg-laying behavior (FELB) is one of the most concerning issues in commercial cage-free (CF) houses because floor eggs (i.e., mislaid eggs on the floor) result in high labor costs and food safety concerns. Farms with poor management may have up to 10% of daily floor eggs. Therefore, it is critical to improving floor eggs management.
