Walk into any broiler (chickens raised for their meat) growout house and you will hear an interesting chorus. An array of chirps, clucks, and squawks abound. Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) are discovering that the unique sounds actually tell a lot about the birds’ well-being. Using their machine learning-based Growout Monitoring System, the team has characterized when birds are under stress due to sickness or adverse environmental conditions inside the house. “It is well-known that environmental conditions during broiler growout can affect the performance of the birds,” explains Dr. Wayne Daley, GTRI principal research engineer and project director. “The goal of the research has been to monitor various audio characteristics of the birds to determine the flock’s health status and well-being based on environmental conditions.” Early detection of adverse conditions or sickness can mean quicker intervention, saving dollars and birds, notes Daley.
