Description
   The poultry is a most important segment of the livestock industry. This sector consists of many different levels of production, including breeding farms, hatcheries, feed factories, broiler and layer farms and processing plants. Likewise, there are sub-units such as chicken, quail, duck, turkey, guinea fowl and goose in terms of species in the sector. The progress in all sectors of poultry is due to the advancement of technologies in the management, nutrition and health care systems. Over the years, the successors of farmers now are with highly qualified and having double degrees, technical/ engineering and even medical and veterinary professionals. Therefore, the poultry industry is now in the hands of well leaned and educated groups.  Remote sensing allows visibility in real-time on a number of factors, conditions within the poultry house, bird performance, bird health and welfare. Not only is it the case that the farmer can keep watch over the status of sheds and birds when they decide to take a look at the computer but importantly the readings from these sensors can be set to provide alerts to management if any parameter falls out with the agreed requirements for the specific age of birds 24/7. Precision feeding technology utilizes data and sensors to adjust feed rations based on the specific needs of the birds. It ensures that each bird gets precisely the right amount of nutrition, reducing waste and improving feed conversion ratio.
