The first ever autonomous poultry-robot launched at SPACE 2017
The robot called Spoutnic animates the chicken coop and frees the farmer many passages within the batch, makes poultry more active and therefore more fertile and healthier, and allows controlled egg laying, according to Tibot's statement.
Tibot decided to launch its robot after a period of 8 months of experimenting in a dozen farms in the west of France. The robot Tibot rotates 6 hours a day in a building destined for chicken breeding.
"We have increased our experiments with a variety of species and strains and in different configurations of farm buildings to ensure that our robot meets the expectations of poultry farmers. Our pilot breeders were fantastic! " Said Yanne Courcoux, Managing Director. Sputnic has proven to be a true solution to the problems common to all poultry farmers, in breeding chickens (two strains), turkey breeds and turkeys.
According to Tibot’s website, the Spoutnic “produces light and sound stimuli which prevent the birds from developing any habituation to the presence of the robot,” and it changes its behavior enough so that birds never quite grow accustomed to it.
A pioneer in poultry robotics, Tibot Technologies aims to automate certain painful and repetitive tasks in order to
improve the working conditions of the poultry farmer while increasing the profitability of his livestock and animal welfare.
