#Featherpecking is one of the primary welfare issues in commercial cage-free hen houses as that can seriously reduce the well-being of birds and cause economic losses for egg producers 🥚 A possibility for minimizing the problem is #earlydetection of FP behaviors and damages 💡

The objectives of this study were to develop a machine vision method, test the performance of new models in tracking the pecking behaviors of hens and potential damages in cage-free facilities, and improve the model's detection accuracy. 🐓

Two #YOLOv5 -based deep learning models were developed and compared in tracking #FPbehaviors of laying hens in cage-free facilities. 🐓🥚 Check out the study ⬇️ bit.ly/3hT2Ad2
