**Carbon Cluck-Char** is a circular farming project aimed at transforming poultry litter--an environmental and disposal challenge--into a valuable biochar product with multiple benefits. By processing poultry bedding through high-temperature pyrolysis, Carbon Cluck-Char will create a biochar that can be applied in both biogas production and as a sustainab...

To compete with low-cost, low-welfare imports, UK production systems must continually enhance productivity, sustainability & resilience while addressing the current welfare issues. This project delivers a novel rapid intervention system that leverages an in-demand AI poultry monitoring software, and insect's remarkable capacity to encourage natural behavi...

Understanding of the risk and direction of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) spread through food-borne routes, and development of interventions to limit the spread of AMR within and between humans, animals, environment and food is a significant challenge, requiring a 360-degree investigation of a complex, interconnected system of humans, animals, environment...

Today, the poultry supply-chain is segmented, and the vast majority of data collected around the production process is heavily siloed. Input providers on one end and processing plants on the other rely on automation and analytics, but the data is kept within each company. At the same time, growing sheds are largely data-dark, with limited data being colle...

This project will develop a smart lighting system that dynamically responds to chicken behaviour to improve welfare and productivity. The right lighting sequence in chicken barns is well known to improve FCR and overall productivity. However, farmers are still largely monitoring for problems through manual surveillance, which increases the risk of disease...

StockBot is the integration of Kell Idea's award-winning 'LeoRover' and FLOX's AI-powered performance and welfare monitoring system, NetFLOX; successfully deployed under a prior Innovate UK project. StockBot will become a commercial agribot system to monitor and manage litter quality while taking high-value actions such as the spraying of neutralising age...

This 18-month project builds NetFLOX-XXL, an AI-powered remote broiler farm management system; with innovations for mass adoption. Our product uses advanced AI to improve **productivity, sustainability and resilience** in the broiler industry, and has demonstrated PoC in previous demonstrations. Now, we're conducting innovative R&D to build a scalable ind...

The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly exacerbated an endemic labour shortage in the UK broiler industry while underscoring the very real biosecurity risk of human/livestock interaction. In leaving Europe, the UK is opening itself up to cheaper, low-welfare chicken from the USA. This has put a lot of pressure on UK broiler farmers who either need to race to th...

This project will develop NetFLOX -- an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system providing poultry farmers with 24/7 media feeds, decision-support data and real-time alerts to improve welfare and performance and reduce environmental impact. NetFLOX is a remote farm management system with initial applications in the high-welfare UK broiler industry. The Covid-1...
