Abstract / Zusammenfassung

RFID sensors provide a promising technology for welfare and health conditions assessment in the egg production industry [1]. We analysed the dataset on free-range hens movements in Australia from 18000 commercial laying hens using a highly innovative custom-built RFID system, which allowed the tracking of individual hen movements on the range and in the hen house for the entire 56 week duration of the laying period. Based on the data, we constructed the corresponding individual mobility networks [2], as well as contact networks and investigate their properties. Our study demonstrates that health and
performance indicators enriched with the network analysis promise to improve hens well-being as well as to allow targeted interventions and optimise economical efficiency of the egg production industry.
