Automated floor rearing systems require a lifecycle cost perspective beyond initial purchase price. Depreciation—spreading equipment cost over its usable life—and technology iteration—rapid upgrades in sensors, controls, and software—shape total ownership expense.
A robust analysis model includes five phases: acquisition, installation, operation, maintenance, and residual value. Shorter technology cycles (e.g., every 3–5 years) accelerate depreciation but may improve efficiency. Farmers should compare the cost of keeping older equipment against upgrading to newer, more efficient versions.
Using discounted cash flow and sensitivity analysis, the model helps decide optimal replacement timing, balancing depreciation loss against productivity gain.

Nighttime Feeding and Light Regulation Strategies: Behavioral Intervention to Avoid High-Temperature Periods and Impacts on Growth Performance
High ambient temperatures suppress feed intake in broilers, reducing growth and feed efficiency. Nighttime feeding combined with adjusted light schedules offers an effective solution. By shifting feeding to cooler evening and early morning hours, birds consume more feed when heat stress is minimal. A light regimen of 4 hours light, 2 hours dark during nighttime…

Labor Substitution Effect of Automated Feeding Systems: Empirical Evidence of Labor Savings from Manual Bag Handling to Pneumatic Conveying
This study quantifies labor savings when replacing manual bag feeding with automated pneumatic conveying in a 10,000-bird broiler farm. Manual feeding involves lifting, carrying, tearing, and scattering 25–40 kg bags daily. Two full‑time workers spend 6–8 hours per day on these tasks, equivalent to 2,080–2,600 working hours annually per worker. Automated feeding uses a silo,…
