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 schedules.
Field application on 20,000-bird houses showed that using graded alerts reduced heat-related mortality by 25–30% and improved feed intake during hot spells. The system integrates with standard environmental controllers and requires only temperature and humidity sensors.
This practical, low-cost tool turns climate data into actionable farm decisions, making it valuable for tropical and subtropical regions.

Precision Feeding Systems for Poultry Farms: ROI Analysis by Farm Size
Precision feeding systems can help poultry farms manage feed distribution, labor, and daily operations more consistently. However, the financial return depends on farm size, equipment configuration, feed costs, labor rates, and actual operating performance. Evaluating these factors helps producers make more informed investment decisions.

Equipment Challenges in Hot and Humid Conditions: Technical Adaptations for Floor Rearing Systems in the Middle East
The Middle East challenges poultry farming with temperatures exceeding 50°C and high humidity. Standard floor rearing equipment requires significant adaptation. Ventilation demands oversized tunnel systems with high-capacity fans to maintain airspeed. Evaporative cooling pads need larger surface areas and regular maintenance to prevent mineral buildup. Drinking systems require higher-flow nipple drinkers for adequate hydration. Insulated…

What’s the Payback Gap? An Empirical ROI Comparison of Semi‑Automated vs. Fully Automated Floor Rearing Equipment
This study compares payback periods for semi‑automated (auto feeders only) and fully automated (feeders + ventilation + manure removal) floor rearing systems in a 10,000‑bird house. Semi‑automated equipment costs $8,000–$10,000, saving 70% of feeding labor and 5% of feed waste. Fully automated systems cost $25,000–$30,000 but eliminate 90% of labor and reduce feed waste by…

From Experience to AI: The Evolution of Environmental Control in Floor-Rearing Houses
Traditional poultry farming relied heavily on grower experience and manual judgment. Today, AI-driven environmental control systems are transforming this approach . Recent research demonstrates significant breakthroughs. Scientists have developed predictive models like EMD-LSTM-Attention that forecast house temperature with a mean absolute percentage error as low as 0.76%, enabling proactive rather than reactive climate management .…
