Increasing adoption of automated farming technologies
Around the world, agricultural practices are becoming more technology driven and automated. Advancements in robotics, IoT, data analytics are finding widespread applications in commercial farming. Poultry industry is no exception to this trend of increasing mechanization and automation.
Keeping large flocks of chickens require round-the-clock monitoring and care. Managing environmental controls, feed distribution, waste removal in huge poultry sheds poses operational challenges. Manual labor dependent practices are giving way to autonomous systems that can perform repetitive tasks more efficiently. For instance, automated feed conveyors, water dispensers ensure timely supply of inputs with minimal human intervention.
Sensors deployed inside the sheds continuously track critical parameters like temperature, humidity and send alerts in case values go beyond set thresholds. This helps maintain optimal living conditions for birds. Cameras equipped with computer vision also monitor flocks for any health issues or unusual behaviors.
When it comes to processing of birds after growth phase, automated slaughtering lines equipped with robots and conveyor systems ensure yields are maximized with minimal handling of the carcasses. This maintains hygiene and reduces chances of contamination.
For instance, in November 2022, Godrej Agrovet Limited (GSA), a diversified agribusiness company and a subsidiary of Godrej Industries Limited, partnered with a leading agricultural university to develop innovative poultry farming techniques. GSA, known for its expertise in animal feed, crop protection, oil palm, and dairy businesses, aims to enhance productivity and sustainability in the poultry sector through this collaboration. The partnership will focus on research and development of advanced feeding strategies, disease management protocols, and precision farming methods to optimize poultry performance while minimizing environmental impact.
