Optical flow, flock behaviour and broiler chicken welfare in the UK and Switzerland
- Abstract:
-
Although systems for automated assessment of broiler chicken welfare have now been developed on a small scale, none are currently in widespread commercial use. We addressed this gap between research and uptake by field testing a camera system that uses the optical flow patterns made by the movements of flocks to monitor bird welfare. We tested the hypothesis that the movement patterns made by flocks of broiler chickens are correlated with two key welfare outcomes - mortality and hockburn. Lif...
