Lower mortality‚ no egg loss‚ labor in efficiency and feeding in the trough with at least 3/8” deep are the main points to reduce the cost. 1)‚ Debeaking reduces mortality from 25% to 9%. However‚ a test reveals that ODI lower the mortality to an average of 4.5%. The purchase cost per hen is $2.4. So‚ the

The ODI lens helps farmers by controlling cannibalization among birds at farms. Cannibalization is an issue that is more prevalent in farms with a large number of chickens as they fight for food and their territory. ODI lens helps in distorting the vision of the chicken and thereby curbing both these issues without causing much trauma
