This initiative brings together a consortium of industry leaders and academic institutions to address significant health and welfare issues in poultry production, utilising advanced technologies and Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae, the company points out. Despite significant advancements in production efficiency through genetic selection, the poultry industry reportedly faces persistent issues, including poor leg health, high mortality rates, and variable feed conversion ratios (FCRs). Additionally, poultry production contributes notably to ammonia emissions in the UK. To address these issues and stay competitive against low-cost imports, UK production systems must evolve continuously. Flybox® points out that Black Soldier Fly farming and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are emerging as revolutionary solutions for improving poultry welfare and performance while supporting sustainability. BSF larvae are renowned for their ability to promote natural poultry behaviour and provide a nutrient-rich, high-quality protein source enhanced with antimicrobial peptides. AI systems propel precision agriculture by delivering real-time data on flock welfare and early warnings of potential issues.
