Artificial intelligence can play an important role in efficient management in poultry farms.
AI can be used for real time monitoring of birds and the micro climate conditions in poultry farms
AI can also be used for early detection of infection/ disease, so that the spread of disease and the mortality can be minimised.

Yes, correct

Depends on what kind of immune boosters are used, duration of supplementation and the health condition of the birds.
Too many immune boosters given at once can be negative.
Giving many immune boosters when the birds are stressed or having an infection can also be negative
Decide whether it’s really necessary to use them and avoid using multiple immune boosters

During heat stress, birds take less feed and consume more water to keep their body cool. This cause more water excretion in faeces causing loose droppings.

Choosing a right breed depends on purpose (egg/meat/ hatching egg),
Breeds/ strains available in your area to be considered
Size of the farm, individual or contract/integration matters
Among the available strains in your, locality, to choose a strain, do a thorough research to know their performance, efficiency, demand, disease resistance, mortality, cost etc

What is the main objective of feed formulation?
-
How can feed analysis of different samples of one type of feed have different results?
-
calcium deficiency affect
egg production and quality, nervous system, muscles contraction,
-
Please specify whether it’s for layers or broilers
Dr. Malathi

is there any any antagonism when we use immunity boosters together?
-
A current feed analysis is correlated with previous analyses by establishing trends, verifying consistency, and informing future decisions. By comparing results, one can identify changes in nutritional content due to factors like weather or genetics, ensure ingredient quality hasn’t degraded, and adjust feed formulation to meet animal needs. This comparison is vital for maintaining animal health, optimizing production, and preventing formulation errors or manufacturing issues, making feed analysis a continuous process of monitoring and refinement.

what is role of AI in biosecurity?
-
Egg size in layers will depend on the following…
Breed
Body weight ( heavier birds lay larger eggs)
Age – egg size increases with age
Disease conditions – In general, any disease or infection or stress cause reduction in egg size. Egg drop syndrome, IB, ND, influenza cause reduced egg size
Nutrition – optimum nutrition is essential to maintain egg number and egg size. Deficiency of energy, protein, amino acids etc reduces egg size. Both the Quality and quantity of feed given is important.
Inadequate light and water, hear stress can also reduce egg size.

why there are loose dropping in heat stress?
-
broiler weight at 35 days 2-2.4 kg as per nutrition, breed, management, weather, space
