Tracking perching behavior of cage-free laying hens with deep learning technologies [PDF]

open access: yesPoultry Science
: Providing perches in cage-free (CF) housing offers significant benefits for laying hens, such as improved leg muscle development, bone health, reduced abdominal fat, and decreased fear and aggression.

Tracking floor eggs with machine vision in cage-free hen houses. [PDF]

open access: yesPoult Sci, 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

Evaluating Convolutional Neural Networks for Cage-Free Floor Egg Detection [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2020
The manual collection of eggs laid on the floor (or ‘floor eggs’) in cage-free (CF) laying hen housing is strenuous and time-consuming. Using robots for automatic floor egg collection offers a novel solution to reduce labor yet relies on ...

Cage egg producers' perspectives on the adoption of cage-free systems in China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Asia is responsible for ~60% of global egg production. As in most of the world, nearly all of the egg-laying hens are housed in cages. While there is growing demand for cage-free eggs in many regions of the world, challenges have been reported when ...

Comparison between cage and free-range egg production on microbial composition, diversity and the presence of Salmonella enterica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The microbial composition of the food production environment plays an important role in food safety and quality. This study employed both 16 S rRNA gene sequencing technology and culture-based techniques to investigate the bacterial microbiota of an egg ...

Mislaying behavior detection in cage-free hens with deep learning technologies. [PDF]

open access: yesPoult Sci, 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.
