3. Executive Summary
Population increase – more food needed
Middle classes looking for a safe, healthy diet
Chicken meat used more than ALL other meats
60 billion chicken grown in 2014 – 8 per person
FLOCKMAN uses precision livestock farming
Produces more chicken meat from less feed
Increases grower profit by 5 US cents per bird
Potential: 5 cents x 60 billion = 3 billion US $
Better lifestyle, health and welfare for the birds

Integrated Management Systems for
Poultry Production
Aim was to grow birds on a target growth curve
Developed a ‘Real-time’ growth model
Continuous ‘Feed-back’ loop
Model changed daily to keep birds on target

9. FLOCKMAN
Simple retrofit to existing feed augers, lights
No feed/bird weighers, computers, modems
Feedback changes the birds daily intake
Active crops: better digestion, so less feed
Better lighting programs – dawn/dusk dimming
Improves immune defence system and welfare
Low cost – quick return on investment
10. The FLOCKMAN Box
FLOCKMAN has 5 ON/OFF/AUTO switches. For FLOCKMAN
Control, ALL must be in ‘AUTO’, Green light ‘ON’. The Keypad
enters flock details. The LCD display shows data. Status bar LED
lights show what’s happening inside the house.
