Intelligent Poultry Farming: AI-Driven Solutions in India

India’s poultry sector, a ₹1,05,000 crore industry, is a vital contributor to rural livelihoods and national nutrition but faces significant challenges, including rising feed costs, disease outbreaks, and limited mechanization among smallholder farms. This article explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in feeding and production management to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve yield. Drawing on data from Indian and international agencies, the study highlights successful AI applications such as precision feeding, disease prediction, climate optimization, and automated egg processing. While quantifiable benefits—like reduced feed costs and increased egg yield—underscore AI’s transformative potential, challenges like high implementation costs and low digital literacy persist. Strategic policy support and innovations, including low-cost AI kits and global collaborations, are essential for scalable adoption. The future of India’s poultry sector lies in evidence-based expansion of AI tools to ensure sustainable growth and food security. , , ,
