METABOLIC ROBOTS

Metabolic Robots is currently conducting beta sites at large facilities in Israel, Germany, and South America. Results to date support a 2%-5% reduction in feed consumption. Alerts of potential disease, feeding/mechanical malfunctions, and worker absence at the beta sites point to added benefits for growers. Increased efficiency equals greater profits. Using industry data, a 3% savings in feed will save around $16,200 per broiler house per year. The total savings for a mid-sized operation with 500 houses is significant: $8.1 million annually... Metabolic Robots has developed an innovative poultry feeding system for real-time automatic distribution and regulation of feed according to actual flock demand. The system uses proprietary algorithms and is operated by a master controller with an easy-to-read touch screen. Data, which is collected by standard sensors in the feeding trays, is analyzed and compiled into reports that the farmer accesses on a mobile device or computer. The system..
