Building Smart AI Tools & Hardware for Poultry Health Diagnostics
I am building smart AI tools to help veterinarians and farmers detect poultry diseases early and make accurate, data-driven diagnostic decisions.
In poultry farming, 60% to 70% of disease diagnosis relies on observing clinical signs and post-mortem examination. However, human observation alone cannot continuously track subtle early changes across thousands of birds. My approach combines smart hardware with a Multi-AI diagnostic framework that monitors:
- Audio & Respiratory Health: Detecting coughs, sneezes, and changes in vocalization in real time.
- Behavior & Movement: Spotting abnormal posture, depression, decreased activity, puffing up feathers, and loss of appetite.
- Production & Clinical Signs: Correlating feed/water intake, changes in droppings, egg quality drops, and environmental conditions (CO_2, ammonia, temperature).
Current Phase: Hardware Prototype & Sound AI Model (85,000 RUB)

- Hardware & Parts: Sourcing ESP32 boards, microphones, and environmental sensors to build working prototype units.
- Acoustic AI Training: Recording barn sounds to train on-device AI that distinguishes bird coughs from ventilation and background noise.
- Field Testing: Running initial barn tests and posting regular milestone reports.
The Bigger Vision: Long-Term R&D for AI in Veterinary Medicine
Reaching this initial goal is the launchpad for a long-term research and development initiative. By merging multi-sensor data (sound, vision, and environment) into an AI Veterinary Assistant System, we can provide veterinarians with objective data to:
- Make faster, evidence-based field diagnoses.
- Replace blanket flock treatments with targeted care.
- Cut unnecessary antibiotic use by up to 70% while improving food safety and flock welfare.
Thank you for supporting this practical step toward the future of digital veterinary medicine!
Should we use AI to help veterinarians detect poultry diseases early through real-time sounds and behavioral signs?
