Vencomatic agro group, an agricultural business organisation, provides poultry housing systems for broilers, layers and all types of birds The agricultural group is convinced that the future to housing poultry birds, lies in software, data and Artificial Intelligence.
With the help of A.I vision software and smart algorithm assessment; the quality of the eggs and birds will improve. Product Manager Data and System Integration Dennis Hoeks sees limitless opportunities. He said “adding software to your hardware opens up a whole new world. Our ultimate goal is to make poultry farming as sustainable as possible and achieve an optimal environment for the healthiest animals possible”.
“Healthy animals mean less use of antibiotics, optimal feed conversion and optimal yields. We try to objectify that on the basis of data. In the Netherlands and Europe, we have come a long way when it comes to this type of measurements, but our customers are spread all over the world. The differences are huge. We try to take modern poultry farmers a step further in their performance and we also try to reduce the global differences and thus contribute to a more sustainable sector.” He said “when A.I systems are installed and you have a solid base, software will play an increasingly important role and that is precisely where unprecedented gains can be made. In the poultry industry you can measure all kinds of things with the help of, for example, sensor technology and vision technology, such as the size of eggs, the number of eggs, animal loss, feed consumption, barn conditions, climate, heat. You can link all that data, analyze it and use findings to optimize your processes”. The Poultry Site
