Embodiment Construction

[0029] Embodiments of the present application generally relate to systems and methods for determining the relative health status and sex of chicks. figure 1 The illustrated first embodiment 10 includes a first conveyor 12 for transporting chicks 14 in the hatchery. It should be understood that the chicks 14 have previously been separated by other conveyors and distributors, where the chicks move forward with the first conveyor 12 in a single file. The first conveyor 12 has a presence sensor 16 to sense the presence of chicks 14 on the first conveyor. Along the path of the first conveyor 12 are located one or more cameras 18 . Preferably, the camera 18 is located at the end of the conveyor, aligned with the body of the chick 14 so as to be able to focus on the belly, legs and paws of the chick. Additionally, the camera 18 may be mounted overhead on the first conveyor 12 so as to be able to focus on the chicks without interfering with the chicks moving forward with the first c...

Abstract

A first system for determining the relative health of a chick having a first moving platform to support a chick, a first image capture device, a first database having a library of digital images relating to healthy and unhealthy chicks and a computer processor in communication with the image capture device and database. A second system for determining the gender of a chick includes a second movingplatform, a second image capture device, and stimuli directed at the chick to cause the chick to open its wings. The second system also includes a second database having wing patterns of male and female chicks of the breed of the chick on the second moving platform and a second computer processor in communication with the second image capture device and the second database.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 254,737, filed November 13, 2015, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 349,981, filed June 14, 2016. The content of each patent is incorporated into this application in its entirety. technical field [0003] Embodiments described in this application relate to systems and methods for detecting the health status and sex of day old chicks. For unhealthy chicks, separate them from the flock as soon as any illness or injury is detected. For sex determination, once determined, separate chicks by sex. Background technique [0004] In today's large-scale production environment, three main types of poultry are produced: broilers, breeders and layers. Broiler chickens are grown and slaughtered for human consumption at maturity. Breeders are raised to breed broiler or layer hens, and layers are raised to lay eggs for human and animal consumption. In each ...
