1. Shared Protocols and Data Template in Agronomic TrialsDue to the overlap of many disciplines and the availability of novel technologies, modern agriculture has become a wide, interdisciplinary endeavor, especially in Precision Agriculture. The adoption of a standard format for reporting field experiments can help researchers to focus on the data rather than on re-formatting and understanding the structure of the data. This paper describes how a European consortium plans to: i) create a “handbook” of protocols for reporting definitions,... D. Cammarano, D. Drexler, P. Hinsinger, P. Martre, X. Draye, A.

2. Investigating the Behavior and Responses of Cage-free Laying Hens Using a Laser Disturbance SystemGrowing attention to animal welfare is accelerating the shift to cage-free housing, but floor eggs remain a persistent problem. Eggs laid on the ground are easily soiled, broken, and can transmit disease; they also raise labor and time costs because they must be collected quickly. Once floor laying becomes habitual, correction is difficult. We propose a laser-based disturbance system that uses non-invasive light cues to guide hens toward raised platforms and nest boxes. Deployed on an embedded... F. Chang |
