RESUMO
ABSTRACT With the increasing scale of farms and the correspondingly higher number of laying hens, it is increasingly difficult for farmers to monitor their animals in a traditional way. Early warning of abnormal animal activities is helpful for farmers’ fast response to the negative impact on animal health, animal welfare and daily management. This study introduces an automatic and non-invasive method for detecting abnormal poultry activities using a 3D depth camera. A typical region including eighteen Hy-line brown laying hens was continuously monitored by a top-view Kinect during 49 continuous days. A mean prediction model (MPM), based on the frame difference algorithm, was built to monitor animal activities and occupation zones. As a result, this method reported abnormal activities with an average accuracy of 84.2% and a rate of misclassifying abnormal events of 15.8% (PFPR). Additionally, it was found that the flock showed a diurnal change pattern in the activity and occupation quantified index. They also presented a similar changing pattern each week.
