Abstract:

Feed accounts for over 60% of broiler production costs, with energy being the most significant factor. Traditional feed formulation methods focus on balancing nutrients to meet average flock needs but often fail to address the dynamic requirements of modern poultry production. Variability in growth rates, health, and environmental conditions can lead to feed utilization and performance inefficiencies. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a transformative opportunity in poultry nutrition, enabling more precise and adaptable feed formulations. By leveraging large datasets and advanced algorithms, AI can accurately predict nutrient requirements and optimize feed in real time, allowing continuous adjustments based on environmental changes and flock health. Essential support systems, including precision feed manufacturing tools, advanced sensors, and new energy systems like productive energy, are crucial to realizing the full potential of AI. These technologies will enhance feed formulation precision and align with One-Health principles, promoting sustainable practices that improve animal health and reduce environmental impact. AI will play a vital role in improving poultry production efficiency, productivity, and sustainability as it advances.
