  • Improving broiler management with automated analysis of bird sounds
  • Using video imaging to estimate broiler weights
  • Automated chick handling, sexing and vaccination
  • Probiotics which prevent necrotic enteritis
  • In vivo testing of cellular and tissue immune response in feathers
  • Model for testing impact of feed interventions on broiler growth
  • Enhanced immersive chilling system for poultry carcasses
  • Blockchain’s role in traceability and how it can be enhanced

Expert panels

The online Summit will feature four panel sessions where industry experts will discuss the latest technologies that can help poultry integrators face challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, identify the transformation technologies of the future, highlight the consumer, technology and macroeconomic trends that will shape the competitive landscape for the protein market in the next 10 years and give perspectives on opportunities and challenges on areas of the poultry supply chain where technology could improve efficiency, cost and operations.
