Livestock - Poultry
LivestockAI supports poultry farming with specialized tracking for broilers and layers.
Supported Species
| Species | Purpose | Typical Cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Broiler | Meat production | 6-8 weeks |
| Layer | Egg production | 72-78 weeks |
| Cockerel | Meat (slower growth) | 12-16 weeks |
| Turkey | Meat production | 12-20 weeks |
Source Sizes
const poultrySourceSizes = [
{ value: 'day-old', label: 'Day Old Chicks (DOC)' },
{ value: 'week-old', label: 'Week Old' },
{ value: 'point-of-lay', label: 'Point of Lay (POL)' },
{ value: 'grower', label: 'Grower' },
]
Key Metrics
Broilers
- FCR (Feed Conversion Ratio): Target 1.6-1.8
- Mortality Rate: Target <5%
- Average Daily Gain: 50-60g/day
- Target Weight: 2.0-2.5kg at 6 weeks
Layers
- Hen-Day Production: Eggs per hen per day
- Peak Production: 90-95% at 26-30 weeks
- Feed per Dozen Eggs: 1.4-1.6kg
Growth Curve
Broiler growth follows a sigmoid curve:
// Simplified growth model
function estimateWeight(ageInDays: number): number {
// Gompertz growth curve parameters for broilers
const maxWeight = 3000 // grams
const growthRate = 0.05
const inflectionPoint = 35 // days
return (
maxWeight * Math.exp(-Math.exp(-growthRate * (ageInDays - inflectionPoint)))
)
}
Batch Lifecycle
- Brooding (Week 1-2): Temperature control, starter feed
- Growing (Week 3-5): Grower feed, weight monitoring
- Finishing (Week 6-8): Finisher feed, market preparation
- Harvest: Sale or processing
