This study shows that a recursive linear model can predict broiler chicken growth in real time. This method accurately forecasts bird weight days in advance, aiding process management.

Area of Science:

  • Animal Science
  • Agricultural Engineering
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Accurate prediction of broiler chicken growth is crucial for efficient farm management and resource allocation.
  • Dynamic growth responses to feed intake necessitate adaptive modeling approaches.
  • Existing static models may not fully capture the real-time, time-variant nature of broiler growth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of time-variant parameter estimation for real-time broiler growth modeling and prediction.
  • To determine the optimal window size for recursive linear modeling of broiler growth.
  • To compare the predictive accuracy of the recursive approach against static empirical growth models.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a recursive linear model with parameters estimated every 24 hours using a fixed time window of measurements.

  • Analyzed 48 broiler chicken datasets to assess model performance.
  • Compared prediction errors (Mean Relative Prediction Error - MRPE) with linear and nonlinear static growth models.

    • Main Results:

    • The recursive linear modeling approach achieved minimum MRPE with a 5-day window size.
    • Bird weight could be predicted 3 to 7 days ahead with an MRPE of 5% or less.
    • The recursive model showed similar accuracy to nonlinear static models (1.4–2.3% MRPE vs. 1.1–2.8% MRPE) but was less accurate for longer prediction horizons (2–7 days).

    Conclusions:

    • Recursive modeling accurately predicts broiler growth in real time without prior system knowledge.
    • The approach accounts for the time-variant, nonlinear growth process using limited data.
    • This method is suitable for real-time integration into broiler production process management systems.
