1. Estimation of Broiler Chicken Mass using Computer Vision with Convolutional Neural Network

In poultry farming, monitoring bird mass during rearing is crucial, as it enables farmers to adjust parameters such as feed supply and lighting to better control weight gain. However, the methods currently used in poultry houses, i.e. manual weighing or poultry scales, present drawbacks, including the inability to weigh a representative number of birds or the frequent maintenance required to keep the equipment clean. The present work aims to validate an alternative method for estimating the mass... I.D. Azevedo, A.T. Salton, R.D. Castro, L.V. Erthal
