Dynamic feed adjustment tailors daily feed amounts to match broilers’ actual growth curves and real-time intake patterns. This study quantifies its effect on reducing overfeeding and underfeeding in a 10,000‑bird flock.
Overfeeding occurs when feed supply exceeds birds’ needs, increasing feed conversion ratio (FCR) and fat deposition. Underfeeding limits growth and causes flock unevenness. Using sensors and algorithms, dynamic systems adjust feed delivery every 2–4 hours based on body weight estimates and feed pan coverage.
In a controlled trial, dynamic adjustment reduced overfeeding by 8.2% and underfeeding by 6.5% compared to fixed daily ration. FCR improved by 0.09, and flock uniformity increased by 4.5%. Feed waste from spillage and spoilage dropped by 3.8%.
Thus, dynamic feed adjustment effectively minimizes both excess and deficit feeding, delivering measurable economic and performance benefits.

Input-Output Model of Automated Feeding Systems for Reducing Feed Cost
Feed constitutes 60–70% of total broiler production costs. Automated feeding systems reduce feed waste through precise portion control, creating a measurable input‑output economic model. Input (Investment) Output (Annual Savings from Feed Alone) Extended Output (Additional Savings) ROI CalculationPayback period (feed savings only) = $13,500 ÷ $2,600 = 5.2 yearsPayback (total savings) = $13,500 ÷ $14,000…

Development and Application of THI Early Warning Model: A Risk-Graded Alert Mechanism for Heat Stress Based on THI Thresholds
Heat stress in poultry is closely linked to temperature-humidity index (THI). A THI-based early warning model enables farms to act before birds suffer. The model defines four risk levels: THI < 74 (safe), 74–78 (caution), 79–83 (danger), and > 83 (emergency). Each threshold triggers specific actions—from increasing ventilation to activating cooling pads and adjusting feed…

Equipment-as-a-Service: Feasibility and Market Acceptance in Automated Poultry Farming
Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS) is emerging as an innovative procurement model in the livestock industry, particularly in automated poultry farming. Instead of large upfront investments, farmers can access advanced equipment such as feeding systems, ventilation units, and water supply systems through subscription-based or pay-per-use models. This approach significantly reduces financial pressure and allows small and medium-sized farms…

Techno-Economic Assessment of Tunnel Ventilation Retrofitting: Pathways for Transitioning Conventional Houses to High-Airflow Systems
Conventional poultry houses often struggle with heat stress during summer, leading to reduced feed intake and higher mortality. Tunnel ventilation retrofitting offers a proven solution. The technical pathway involves installing high-capacity fans at one end, evaporative cooling pads at the opposite end, and sealing side inlets to create uniform 2–3 m/s airflow. This system lowers…
