MODERNIZATION OF POULTRY FARMS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF INNOVATIONS

Аннотация

This study analyzes the relevance of introducing modern technologies and modernizing production processes in poultry farms, as well as their impact on efficiency and the outcomes achieved through innovative approaches in the sector. Based on international experiences, the research proposes innovative models and solutions adapted to local conditions. Furthermore, the paper highlights positive trends such as improved product quality, reduced production costs, and increased export potential as a result of technological upgrades, implementation of automated management systems, biosecurity measures, and digital monitoring tools in poultry farms Keywords: Poultry Farming Enterprise, modernization, innovation, investments, digital technologies, agricultural technologies Modernizing Uzbekistan's agricultural sectors, increasing their efficiency, and introducing modern technologies have become one of the priority areas of state policy. In particular, the poultry industry plays an important role in ensuring food security, meeting the population's demand for high-quality, protein-rich products, and increasing export potential. Modern poultry farms are moving away from traditional methods and are seeking to introduce advanced technologies, automated management systems, and biotechnological approaches. Such innovative approaches not only increase productivity but also reduce production costs, ensure environmental safety, and produce healthy poultry products. This section analyzes the need for modernization of poultry farms, best practices in this regard, mechanisms for introducing innovative technologies, and their economic and social significance. It also focuses on existing problems and ways to overcome them, based on the experience of Uzbekistan. Modern poultry farming employs a diverse range of technologies to enhance productivity, enhance animal welfare, and ensure sustainable practices. These include sensors, automated systems, and data analysis tools. Technologies such as sensors monitor environmental conditions and bird health, while automated feeding systems and climate control increase accuracy and efficiency. 89 ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN MODERN SCIENCE International scientific-online conference Additionally, technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are being used to improve breeding, processing, and farm management. 1. Sensors and Monitoring Intelligent sensors monitor temperature, humidity, air quality, and other factors inside poultry houses, enabling timely adjustments and proactive measures. Figure 1. Smart devices that monitor temperature, humidity, air quality, and other factors 2. Automation. The introduction of automated systems in poultry farming is an important factor in increasing production efficiency and reducing labor costs. In particular, by automatically controlling the processes of feeding, watering and waste disposal, the need for human labor is significantly reduced and time is saved. Figure 2. Technologies for automatic control of feeding, water supply and waste treatment processes Automatic feeding systems ensure that each bird is fed the right amount of feed at the right time, optimizing feed consumption and preventing waste. 90 ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN MODERN SCIENCE International scientific-online conference Automatic water systems play an important role in maintaining bird health by providing a constant supply of clean and sufficient water. Also, cleaning is carried out regularly through automatic waste cleaning systems, which helps maintain high levels of hygiene in poultry farms, prevent the spread of diseases, and improve overall sanitation. 3. Computer vision systems. These systems analyze bird behavior, count eggs, and even calculate weight, providing valuable information about animal welfare and production. 4. Artificial intelligence. Algorithms analyze large amounts of data to optimize feeding, climate control, and other aspects of poultry management, leading to increased efficiency and productivity. Figure 3. Technologies to optimize other aspects of poultry management 5. Blockchain technology. Blockchain technology increases traceability and transparency in the supply chain, ensuring food safety and accountability. By integrating blockchain technology, it is possible to securely and immutably store information about all processes taking place on the farm. Blockchain technology creates a complete and transparent database of poultry health, feed composition, maintenance schedules, vaccinations, and product movement, ensuring product consistency and preventing fraud and misrepresentation. 91 ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN MODERN SCIENCE International scientific-online conference Figure 4.
