Abstract

In broiler breeder production, the level of abdominal fat is of utmost importance as it affects their reproductive performance. The industry relies on subjective palpation of the pelvic bones, which depends on the operator's experience, to assess subcutaneous fat and readiness for light stimulation. An alternative involves euthanizing the bird, but this is impractical for a large number of birds in a flock. Therefore, NIRS technology is postulated as a promising tool for in vivo determination of pelvic fat in pullet broiler breeders. This work aims to evaluate the use of NIR portable sensors for this purpose, attempting to optimize an efficient analysis methodology. The results suggest that NIRS technology offers a non-destructive and easy-to-use solution to improve in vivo assessments in the farm.
