Comparing pixel changes and manual observations for mapping broiler activity during dried black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) provisioning
Comparing pixel changes and manual observations for mapping broiler activity during dried black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) provisioning
Samenvatting
Exercising broilers may reduce health problems as this benefits leg development and limits the time in which broilers’ skin is in contact with dirty litter. Scattering dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) in the whole pen could increase broiler activity. We studied the activity of broilers during dried BSFL feeding periods in more detail to determine how well BSFL provisioning maintains broiler activity.Keywords: broiler welfare; insect feedstuffs; environmental enrichment; video image analysis; activity
