as demand for poultry continues to increase globally humans are witnessing the rise of
robots smart technology is involved in every livestock and production activity and it is
transforming the industry providing efficient Solutions and improving Farm productivity
right now let's find out how American farmers use robots to raise millions of
chicken a broiler Farm can raise more than 530,000 chickens a year while eggl Farms can
Smart Systems
raise hundreds of thousands of egg Lang hens at a time so most chickens in America are forced to
live on concentrated Farms where they face truly horrific conditions to solve this problem Farmers
have turned to technology Smart Systems in chicken farms can monitor welfare health and environmental
parameters in the coupe during production these devices free up human labor to perform other tasks
at the same time it ensures quality and improves Animal Welfare in traditional production systems
chicks are incubated in hatcheries and then transported to Broiler Farm Farms however on
Modern Farms farmers will produce their own breeds to provide for their next round of breeding after
about 21 days of incubation the chicks will hatch they will then be sorted and moved into
the barn farmers will provide water and feeding directly without waiting for the transportation
of one day old chicks from elsewhere the pro process of warming chicks is very important in
the early stages of their lives this incubation system provides the necessary warmth it also
automatically controls the heat lamp based on weather conditions and the age of the chicks at
the same time it always ensures the temperature is maintained within the optimal range promoting
Healthy Growth of chickens proper lighting is essential to regulate the chick's circadian
rhythm which can affect their overall health and growth rate therefore the lights in the barn are
turned on for 12 to 16 hours per day during Peak periods these chickens have been bred
to be obese as a result they are susceptible to heart disease heat stress and other weight
related health problems therefore vaccination is an important activity in chicken Health Management
modern technology is making this process more efficient and accurate Farmers cannot vaccinate
individual chickens instead Farmers often divide chickens into groups and then they are vaccinated
collectively nois spray is designed to vaccinate chicks by spraying in a safe manner besides
this this technology will ensure precise dosage and maximum uniformity between Cycles one of the
most labor intensive tasks in chicken farming is ensuring the chickens receive adequate
and appropriate nutrition automated feeding systems have transformed this essential process
significantly reducing labor requirements and improving feed efficiency this uses sophisticated
sensors and timers to disperse amounts of food at regular intervals this ensures each chicken
receives the right amount of feed minimizes waste and promotes uniform growth chickens are fed twice
a day and eggs are collected three times a day to be transported to the Hatchery for incubation each
year at the end of the first laying cycle most of the breed hens are sent to slaughter and replaced
with a new flock of pellets at this farm eggs are automatically harvested from nesting areas
and transported to the processing facility this production line is designed to handle eggs gently
reducing breakage and contamination Advanced egg collectors can sort eggs based on size and quality
it completes egg processing tasks such as washing sorting and packaging ready
for shipping these automated systems can process thousands of eggs per hour this not
only increases production efficiency but also ensures chicken eggs consistently meet Market
standards in the US there are more than 233,000 chicken farms raised for meat production Farmers
Health And Productivity
on these Farms have to work at full capacity in order to supply enough quantity for the
market maintaining an ideal environment is important for chicken health and productivity
fans and heaters automatically adjust to keep the environment within the ideal range
automatic ventilation systems remove ammonia and other harmful gases from the chicken Coupe helping
to reduce the risk of respiratory problems in chickens on average a bro production Cycle
takes 7 weeks during this time the chicken will hatch grow and be fattened until it reaches its
final weight after that the burn will be cleaned disinfected and prepared to receive the new batch
of chicks with this 7we production cycle the farm can produce seven flocks of chickens each year in
addition at the end of the Harvest farmers will clean up the litter to reduce the accumulation
of harmful pathogens this not only improves living conditions for chickens but also reduces the risk
of disease spreading next next they clean the barn and the feeding and water trough
system these robots move around the chicken Coupe sweeping waste into designated collection areas
this continuous cleaning process not only keeps the environment clean but also reduces the cost
of manual cleaning by 30% some Modern Farms are also equipped with a manure belt system placed
below the chicken Coupe to collect manure these belts are cleaned periodically and the waste is
transported to composting or treatment units this method helps manage waste effectively and
reduces the risk of disease outbreaks besides Farmers by observing feces and monitoring the
health of chicken flocks can proactively care or prevent diseases this Nifty robot helps
Farmers to keep their chickens healthy and reduce the need for antibiotics by ventilating chicken
CS reducing carbon emissions and the growth of harmful bacteria therefore fewer antibiotics are
needed to treat diseases and improve Animal Welfare rough manual harvesting can easily
cause broken bones in chickens when the chickens reach 6 to 8 weeks old Texas farmers will move
the Harvester into the chicken Coupe this machine will grab the legs of many chickens not only does
it shorten working time but it also ensures that the chickens remain healthy throughout
the harvesting process smart chicken Harvesters are now used by most chicken businesses to reduce
labor costs the front part of the Harvester is an automatic chicken catching device a 360° rotating
table helps roll up the chickens the conveyor belt distributes the chickens to cages this
Harvester is operated in a safe and convenient remote control with a capacity of up to 8,500 to
11,000 chickens per Harvest when arriving at the slaughter house the chickens are cuffed and hung
upside down on the process processing line this line can process from 42,000 to 8,000 chickens per
hour before Slaughter chickens are stunned with carbon gas not only does it appear in the farming
process but automatic technology also supports chicken processing and packaging to ensure hygiene
the chicken will go through an UltraViolet scanner to remove bacteria next this robot
arm will be in charge of dividing the chicken into each plastic box the packaged chicken continues to
move along the conveyor belt and eventually the robot will transfer the product to the frozen
warehouse the application of scientific and technological advances in poultry farming
is not just a trend but also a necessary development in order to meet the increasing
demand for chicken meat while maintaining high standards of animal welfare and farm efficiency
from feeding and egg collection to environmental control and health monitoring these Technologies
help American farmers raise millions of chickens more effectively and sustainably
Wild Turkeys
the appearance of wild animals in residential areas brings bad experiences like returning to
prehistoric times the man must walk while holding a stick in case the wild turkeys
attack they make leaving home an obsession for indigenous people after all how did a species
that not long ago was on the brink of Extinction across the continent become so widespread watch
today's video to learn and see how American farmers deal with tens of thousands of wild
turkeys the wild turkey is an iconic American species having sustained Native Americans for
Wild Turkey Behavior
centuries through many periods of recession and Recovery the Turkey population has has
returned in overwhelming numbers and has severely affected human life currently
it is estimated that there are nearly 6 million wild turkeys found in North
America locals on the outskirts of Maui Hawaii believe that injuries found on
pets and other animals in their area were caused by wild turkeys
wild turkeys can be found on farms year round especially during the
growing season they do not directly Target plants
but instead unintentionally cause harm when they scratch the soil in search of food like
insects newly hatched wild turkeys grow rapidly and leave the nest within 12 to 24 hours of
hatching at this time they are vulnerable to predation by wild BS links and birds of prey
the mortality rate of chicks is highest in the first 14 days of life this reduces significantly
after half a year when they grow closer to adult size during this time the hen will try to hide the
chicks in a dense layer pair of feathers to avoid detection and limit death while turkeys often
become aggressive during breeding season sometimes even attacking and acting aggressively toward
humans in some areas it is illegal to feed wild turkeys because when they are familiar
with humans they can consider humans as fellow humans and be in the harsh ranking
competition of the herd this means humans will be easier to attack this behavior is
most common in the fall when young wild turkeys begin to compete with adult wild turkeys in the
flock turkeys often roost in trees spending the night on the ground it is not uncommon
for birds to have favorite roosting tree that they return to night after
night as Urban and Suburban wild turkey populations grow so do conflicts between
Wild Turkey Conflicts
humans and them surely you will often encounter wild turkeys wandering on the road and this not
only affects the environment but also creates many dangerous tra traffic situations this
Behavior distracts the driver causes delays and is also the cause of unwanted collisions
besides their Relentless search for food can destroy Gardens and
Lawns if you see images of wild turkeys pecking at a car they are mistaking their reflection for a
Predator let's find out the reasons behind the wild turkey Invasion some information
suggests that this Invasion may stem from overbreeding each breeding season they
usually lay 10 to 15 eggs per clutch this leads to large numbers of female turkeys
increasing the risk of invasion and affecting the ecological balance in the
area for species that can fly like wild turkeys fences cannot prevent their destruction of course
Hunting
farmers do not let this situation continue they choose to hunt them down net trapping is done
but it takes a lot of time in the immediate future hunting is the most effective control
measure Hunters can easily track the tracks left
by wild turkeys on the land these Footprints help shorten the search
process in winter when snow falls things are easier for hunters
however the disturbance of wild turkeys is no
less in Illinois wild turkeys can be hunted during two seasons one in the fall and one
in the spring they may be hunted with guns or appropriate archery equipment but local
regulations May limit the use of these tools in urban and Suburban environments to avoid
danger these fake turkeys act to attract real wild turkeys to the area the only thing left
is to wait aim accurately at the Target and take it down with one shot interestingly this
method is quite effective and is used by many Hunters until they are shot and fall
W turkeys have no idea that this attractive friend is just a hunting
prop silence is the key to a successful Hunt Hunters are so
careful that they prepare clothes that are almost green in color to camouflage
themselves when the target appears the timing of the shot is carefully
chosen to ensure success uccess the echoing sound of gunfire the
moment a wild turkey was taken down marked Farmers resistance to invasive
Wildlife the spring wild turkey hunting season in the US lasts from late April to late May
some Farmers cannot concentrate on Hunting because everyone is too busy growing crops
that's why early morning hunting sessions like this
happen the invasion of wild turkeys over many decades has had a huge impact on
people's culture and life instead of living and working as usual they now
have to deal with the problem of invasive wild turkeys even children experience and
train hunting from a very very early age through this activity the next
generation will be more aware of the issue of preventing and protecting wildlife in the
environment however over hunting also has the potential to push them towards
the brink of Extinction once again therefore all hunting activities must be licensed by the area
manager cooking wild turkeys after a hunt is a great way to enjoy the rewards of a good hunt
Cooking
have you ever eaten wild turkey meat if so please leave a comment below and share your thoughts on
its taste wild turkey meat is a source of protein and healthy fats that are rich in vitamins and
minerals this is a wonderful dish from a dramatic hunting experience combined with fresh and unique
flavors hunting and cooking wild turkeys is not only a fun activity but also an
important part of American culinary culture in addition hunting plays an important role
in managing wild turkey populations this helps minimize negative impact
acts on agriculture and communities maintaining balance in the ecosystem
Chickens are the most widely raised farm animal in the United States. There are many large-scale farms in the United States that apply modern technology such as machinery or robots in the process of raising millions of chickens.
