Poultry farms are a major contributor to the human food chain. However, around the world, there have been growing concerns about the quality of life for the livestock in poultry farms; and increasingly vocal demands for improved standards of animal welfare. Recent advances in sensing technologies and machine learning allow the possibility of monitoring birds, and employing the lessons learned to improve the welfare for all birds. This task superficially appears to be easy, yet, studying behavioral patterns involves collecting enormous amounts of data, justifying the term Big Data. Before the big data can be used for analytical purposes to tease out meaningful, well-conserved behavioral patterns, the collected data needs to be preprocessed. The pre-processing refers to processes for cleansing and preparing data so that it is in the format ready to be analyzed by downstream algorithms, such as classification and clustering algorithms. However, as we shall demonstrate, efficient preprocessing of chicken big data is both non-trivial and crucial towards success of further analytics.
