1. Sensor-based Optimal Delineation of Management Zones for Plant and Soil IntegrationStrategies for mapping management zones (MZs) use proximal and orbital sensors to optimize use and promote sustainable development. Proximal sensors can infer, among other variables, apparent electrical conductivity (ECa), while orbital sensors provide synthetic soil images (SYSI), elevation, and different color-composition images of soil and plant canopies. However, the literature does not provide clear evidence on the efficiency of these measurements, individually and jointly, in reducing the... A.V. Hereman, J.V. Pozzuto, L.R. Amaral |
2. 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 |
