Large variation in the movement of individual broiler chickens tracked in a commercial house using ultra-wideband backpacks
Abstract Our understanding of the movement patterns of individual broiler chickens in large flocks is extremely limited. Here we report the use of a Real Time Locating System to track individual broilers in a house of 28 000 birds. Broilers were fitted with backpacks containing ultra-wideband tags o...
