  • Abstract
    Progress in automating and controlling poultry and livestock production is discussed. Environmental control and mechanization of various operations previously performed manually are described in detail, in both livestock and poultry applications. Environmental control systems are included. Economic considerations for converting farm capital to labor are mentioned, and industrial instrumentation availability and reliability are analyzed as factors in conversion to the new processes of control.
