This project will develop a smart lighting system that dynamically responds to chicken behaviour to improve welfare and productivity. The right lighting sequence in chicken barns is well known to improve FCR and overall productivity. However, farmers are still largely monitoring for problems through manual surveillance and lighting control gives only day/night cycles and blanket control of the whole barn. Our work will develop a system that uses chicken vocalisations to identify problems of clustering and bullying and then modify the light levels to cause chicken dispersal, thereby reducing occurrence of problems.

该项目将开发一个智能照明系统，动态响应鸡的行为，以提高福利和生产力。鸡舍中正确的照明顺序是众所周知的，以提高饲料转化率和整体生产力。然而，农民仍然主要通过人工监视和照明控制来监测问题，只提供白天/黑夜周期和整个谷仓的毯子控制。我们的工作将开发一个系统，使用鸡的发声来识别集群和欺凌的问题，然后修改光照水平，使鸡分散，从而减少问题的发生。
