Early warning for commercial broiler production

Daily production records. Clearer operational review.

PoultraIQ develops decision-support software for commercial broiler operations. Our first product, PoultraIQ Daily, organizes daily house records and flags changes for operator review. We are recruiting prospective pilot partners; detection lead time and operational benefits remain to be validated.

The gap

Connecting daily records with operational review.

USDA found integrated electronic controls in 84% of broiler houses in 2011, and in every house built that year. These findings provide context for work on reviewing production records over time. In a 2024 survey of Tennessee broiler producers, 57% reported using no computer software to capture, review, or manage farm operational data, and 25% used a data-management system.

Daily records can be difficult to compare consistently across houses and flocks. Comparing entries with a defined baseline may help operators identify changes that warrant investigation. Whether those flags provide useful advance warning requires field validation.

First product

PoultraIQ Daily

PoultraIQ Daily is a manual-entry house log for mortality, feed, water, temperature, humidity and operator notes. It applies defined rules, including comparisons with recent records, and explains flagged changes. A closed evaluation installation is live; public signup is closed, and the product is not generally available or ready to receive real farm data.

No hardware
Designed for manual entry without additional sensors. Baseline comparisons require sufficient prior records.
Explained flags
Flags identify the metric, the change and the relevant comparison or rule.
Cycle records
Entries, flags, and notes stay attached to the flock and the cycle, to support continuity between crews.

Who this is built for

Designed for commercial broiler operators.

Independent producers

Producers responsible for flock management and production performance, seeking a consistent record of daily conditions.

Multi-house operators

Managers overseeing several houses who need a consistent process for reviewing daily records and investigating changes.

Regional integrators

Small and mid-sized integrators evaluating practical tools for production records and operator review.


Advisory

Operational experience for product development.

PoultraIQ offers operational advisory support to equipment manufacturers, sensor companies, software teams and research groups. Engagements address poultry-house conditions, maintenance requirements, workflow fit and the evidence needed to evaluate a proposed product.

Detection lead time per farm at a 0.17 percent daily mortality threshold Horizontal bar chart of eight commercial Dutch broiler farms. Lead time ahead of the farm's own reported detection was 5, 2, 2, 5, 1, 2, 1 and 2 days. All eight farms signalled. Farm 1 5.0 d Farm 2 2.0 d Farm 3 2.0 d Farm 4 5.0 d Farm 5 1.0 d Farm 6 2.0 d Farm 7 1.0 d Farm 8 2.0 d All 8 of 8 farms signalled. False alarms: 2.0 per 100 production days.

Research and pilots

Field validation is the next priority.

PoultraIQ is actively seeking university extension partners, land-grant poultry science programs, and grower cooperators for structured pilots of PoultraIQ Daily. The goal is to measure detection lead time and false-positive rates under a defined protocol. Published findings from other systems do not establish PoultraIQ Daily performance.
