The Dawn of Intelligent Poultry Science: A Brazilian Vision for a Global Future
A, Nääs IG, Garcia R
Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, particularly when integrated with Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) systems, are unlocking new dimensions of real-time environmental control, disease forecasting, and resource optimization. These systems no longer merely react to change; they actively respond to it. They anticipate it. Whether it is an AI-driven adjustment in ventilation patterns based on thermal imaging or early alerts of respiratory diseases via acoustic analysis, we are witnessing a fundamental shift from labor-intensive observation to proactive, intelligent management. Brazilian poultry operations, often densely populated, stand to benefit profoundly from such capabilities. Real-time data analytics can personalize nutritional strategies, minimize metabolic stress, and optimize thermal comfort, elevating not just productivity but also animal welfare as a key performance indicator (Leite et al., 2025; Menezes et al., 2024).(AU)
