1. Detection of Aggressive Group Behavior of Laying Hens in Free HenhousesHarmful social behaviors among laying hens, such as feather pecking and aggressive chasing, pose a significant challenge to animal welfare and productivity in cage-free poultry systems. While cage-free housing allows hens to express natural behaviors, it also increases the risk of injurious interactions that can lead to stress, injury, and economic losses. Existing mitigation strategies, including environmental enrichment and housing design improvements, reduce but do not eliminate harmful behavior,... Y. Heller, S. Druyan, A. Godo, V. Bloch |
2. Integrating Variable Rate Nitrogen Fertilization and Traffic Intensity Thresholds for Site-Specific Management in Mechanized Sugarcane SystemsPrecision Agriculture (PA) has primarily focused on site-specific input management to improve resource-use efficiency; however, in highly mechanized cropping systems, soil physical degradation induced by machinery traffic remains a critical constraint to system performance. This study integrates two complementary approaches developed in commercial sugarcane production systems in Colombia: (i) variable rate nitrogen fertilization (VRT) as a strategy for rational fertilizer use, and (ii) a maximum...
