Pilot study demonstrates a sensor prototype for automated integument damage detection in laying hens, suggesting advancements for real-farm applications.
Digital solutions using artificial intelligence are lacking for laying hens due to application challenges in real-farm environments. To approach this problem, a pilot study was conducted on an organic laying hen farm using a camera sensor prototype that automatically monitors individual hens. The mobile unit was placed in the litter area and the camera model development was based on the manual assessment of dorsal and ventral body areas identifying suitable target markers and target positions. Using the collected data, a customized annotation tool for integument damage detection and a first AI- model was developed.
