Abstract

While Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) offers many potential benefits for broiler producers, the adoption of PLF on U.S. broiler farms has been limited. Determining the status of PLF implementation in the U.S. broiler industry can aid researchers in developing technology better suited to producer needs to potentially increase PLF field adoption. A survey was sent to 531 broiler producers in Tennessee, U.S. This survey was designed to gather detailed information about current PLF implementation on broiler farms, producer interest in specific PLF technology types, and their willingness to adopt PLF into their production operations. The survey included questions about the current use of fifteen specific PLF tools, the importance of real-time data in their operation, planned use of PLF tools, their goals for using PLF, their willingness to participate in a PLF cost-share program, and their trust in data security. This survey identified a lack of familiarity with PLF among broiler producers, but that they would be willing to adopt PLF if it proved to increase farm productivity and profitability.

肉鸡行业实施精准养殖的生产者调查

虽然精密畜牧业（PLF）为肉鸡生产商提供了许多潜在的好处，但在美国肉鸡养殖场采用PLF的情况有限。确定PLF在美国肉鸡行业实施的状况可以帮助研究人员开发更适合生产者需求的技术，从而潜在地增加PLF在该领域的应用。一项针对美国田纳西州531家肉鸡生产商的调查旨在收集有关目前肉鸡养殖场PLF实施情况的详细信息，生产商对特定PLF技术类型的兴趣，以及他们在生产操作中采用PLF的意愿。调查的问题包括15种特定PLF工具的当前使用情况、实时数据在运营中的重要性、PLF工具的计划使用情况、使用PLF的目标、参与PLF成本分担计划的意愿以及对数据安全的信任。该调查发现肉鸡生产者对PLF缺乏熟悉，但如果PLF能够提高农场生产力和盈利能力，他们愿意采用PLF。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Poultry Research (JAPR) publishes original research reports, field reports, and reviews on breeding, hatching, health and disease, layer management, meat bird processing and products, meat bird management, microbiology, food safety, nutrition, environment, sanitation, welfare, and economics. As of January 2020, JAPR will become an Open Access journal with no subscription charges, meaning authors who publish here can make their research immediately, permanently, and freely accessible worldwide while retaining copyright to their work. Papers submitted for publication after October 1, 2019 will be published as Open Access papers. The readers of JAPR are in education, extension, industry, and government, including research, teaching, administration, veterinary medicine, management, production, quality assurance, product development, and technical services. Nutritionists, breeder flock supervisors, production managers, microbiologists, laboratory personnel, food safety and sanitation managers, poultry processing managers, feed manufacturers, and egg producers use JAPR to keep up with current applied poultry research.
