BIRDWATCHER

IMAGE-BASED WEIGHT MEASUREMENT IN LARGE-SCALE POULTRY FARMING

WHY BIRDWATCHER?

Birdwatcher’s solution is based on the analysis of large amounts of camera images using artificial intelligence-based methodology to estimate the individual weight of birds throughout the fattening period with high accuracy. This reduces human labour by 90% and allows more accurate slaughterhouse production planning.

OUR PRODUCT

Birdwatcher

  • developed for large-scale intensive poultry flocks

  • provides reliable weight measurements of birds from the first day of stocking until slaughter readiness

  • the weight of the poultry flock and its standard deviation can be obtained at any time of the fattening period

  • developed for the genetics of the poultry species or hybrid

WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THIS?

  • only cameras mounted on the roof structure of the poultry barn and a data collection and transmission unit in the service room
  • an internet connection for transmission, storage

  • we analyse the camera images using artificial intelligence models andwe provide up-to-date and reliable information on the weight of the poultry flock through a simple application on a smart device

UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION

  • the weight of the poultry flock in the barn can be known with 95-97% accuracy

  • the daily progress of the poultry flock can be monitored by assigning a standard deviation to the average weight

  • detect deviations from optimal growth

  • the poultry farmer can intervene according to the development of the flock

SUCCESSES IN TURKEY

In December 2023, we participated in a startup event in Turkey. We were one of 10 teams travelling to a startup business conference in Istanbul organised by the National Innovation Agency and HEPA. The Hungarian startup presentation was attended by 50 Turkish venture capital companies interested in our pitches and was covered by the local CNN.

FIRST PLACE

First place in the Innovation Product Award Competition in the Alföldi Livestock and Agriculture Days! Birdwatcher, as a co-applicant of the Poultry Division of Bonafarm Agriculture, won first place in the Precision Livestock Farming Technologies category! We are very proud to have developed and validated our poultry weight estimation model at one of the largest poultry integrators in Hungary. We look forward to further successful cooperation!

A REAL,"ANIMAL WELFARE IN ACTION" EVENT

At the "Real Animal Welfare in Action" event, we presented Birdwatcher to livestock farmers and livestock companies, alongside five other innovative Hungarian solutions for livestock farming that not only bring innovation to livestock production, but also help to create robust animal welfare conditions. During the rapid meetings that followed the presentations, the participating livestock-related companies were able to discuss their needs and questions in detail with the tech companies presenting, thus providing scope for developing cooperation opportunities.
