Integrating big data and artificial intelligence offers a sustainable solution to optimize feed efficiency and reduce the environmental footprint of global poultry farming.
BODY
[Paragraph 1 — The problem]
Global poultry production faces mounting challenges, including feed source shortages, environmental pollution, and the need to maintain animal welfare amid rising consumer demand. Traditional nutrition models often fail to accurately predict dynamic nutrient requirements, leading to wasted resources and excess greenhouse gas emissions. As the industry seeks sustainable expansion, there is an urgent need for more precise, data-driven nutritional strategies.
[Paragraph 2 — What was done]
Researchers from Jilin University, China Agricultural University and Jilin Academy of Agricultural Sciences conducted a comprehensive review of current precision nutrition technologies. They explored how the Internet of Things (IoT), computer vision, and sensor-based monitoring can be combined with advanced AI algorithms and machine learning. The team also summarized how biotechnologies, including omics techniques and biotechnology-derived proteins, can be integrated into modern poultry farming.
