Abstract

A problem in loose housing systems for layers is laying eggs on the floor, which need manual collection. To automate this, it is desired to know the location of floor eggs for planning a collection path. as this information is not available, we constructed a spatial model to indicate the probability on floor eggs, based on housing properties. This model is mainly determined by parameters relating probability to position in the house. Validation against floor egg locations from poultry practice indicated that underlying model assumptions match with practice, making the model a suitable start for further work in this field.
