Title: Practical Applications of Modeling and Decision-Making Analyses in Poultry Production
Format: Lecture and PowerPoint Presentation
Description: Poultry production requires, like any other industry, a constant decision-making process. Most decisions require information. In poultry production a lot of information is collected, but very little is really analyzed and actually used in real-time to make future decisions. This presentation/workshop will try to stimulate the learning of decision-making software and computerized mathematical models as tools to be utilized in management of poultry production. The presentation will include simple applications available to start the process of organizing, analyzing and using production data in real-time. The audience will learn basic techniques to estimate optimum values of production based on several production factors. Examples will be adapted to the needs of the audience. On average, and over time, good decisions made through these processes should provide the best outcomes for the poultry companies. They will also provide logical explanations for decisions when the outcomes are not favorable.
Time: 50 minute presentation or a workshop for up to 2 hours.
Audience: Extension agents, live production managers, complex managers, poultry veterinarians and nutritionists.
Equipment: Digital projector and screen, computer lab or laptops.
