Abstract
The current study obtained biometric data yielded by information and communication technology (ICT) equipment installed in the mobile phones of farmers from broiler farms and evaluated quorum sensing (QS) phenomenon (QSP), which can be considered as an emergency rescue request signal for chickens and the starting point of a disease. The results indicated that QSP was identified the most rapidly and sensitively during the analysis of digital data yielded by the ICT-equipped automatic feed feeder, followed by the water consumption data. In particular, in the data on daily feed consumption, QSP was identified to be the point where the consumption rapidly decreased by more than 100% compared with that on the previous day. It is believed that if farm owners responded to the QSP or chicken rescue signals and rapidly implemented disease prevention measures, then it would be the wisest field use of ICT data to minimize loss and damage to farms. In addition, the results of this study revealed the priority order of the introduction of ICT equipment. and the most urgent and important for farm management is daily feed consumption data by applying the scientifically based QS approach, for the first time, to our knowledge, in Korea. The results of this study uncovered the importance of installing ICT equipments.
