1. Detection of Aggressive Group Behavior of Laying Hens in Free HenhousesHarmful social behaviors among laying hens, such as feather pecking and aggressive chasing, pose a significant challenge to animal welfare and productivity in cage-free poultry systems. While cage-free housing allows hens to express natural behaviors, it also increases the risk of injurious interactions that can lead to stress, injury, and economic losses. Existing mitigation strategies, including environmental enrichment and housing design improvements, reduce but do not eliminate harmful behavior,... Y. Heller, S. Druyan, A. Godo, V. Bloch |
2. Assessing the Potential of Google Satellite Embeddings for Mapping Sugarcane in Brazilian Production AreasThe increasing availability of remote sensing (RS) data with higher spatial resolution, combined with advances in artificial intelligence (AI), has been an essential tool in driving the development of the agricultural sector, such as precision agriculture (PA). Among the most relevant information derived from these approaches, crop mapping plays an essential role in crop monitoring, management strategies and yield forecasting. However, the large amount of data required for training classification... G. Rodigheri, J. Da Silva, L. Alvim Santos Romani, J. Garcia Arnal Barbedo |
3. Development and Field Validation of SMART-C: A Geostatistics and PCA-Based Decision Framework for Site-Specific Cocoa Management in the Brazilian AmazonCocoa production plays a major socioeconomic role in Pará State, Brazil’s largest producing region, with annual output exceeding 140 thousand tons. Although Brazil ranks among the world’s leading cocoa producers, most production systems are still managed using field-average approaches that disregard within-field spatial variability of soil attributes and crop performance. This limitation restricts input efficiency and long-term system sustainability in perennial tropical systems.This... |
