Foreword
I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. I obtained PhD in Biosystems Engi-
neering from University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland and conducted Post-Doctoral
research at the University of Tokyo, Japan, and the University of California, Davis
(UC Davis). Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricul-
tural and Biological Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
(UIUC). I have more than 10 years of research experience in non-destructive optical
sensing technologies. My scholarly works have become standard reference mate-
rials for researchers in hyperspectral imaging for agricultural sciences. I was one
of the highly cited researchers in 2019 by Clarivate Analytics (formerly Thomson
Reuters). At UIUC, I apply optical sensing technologies in tandem with chemomet-
rics and machine learning to address the sustainability of bioprocessing technologies
to promote the sustainable use of renewable resources.
As I know Dr. Alin Khaliduzzaman, the Editor of this book, for long time, I am
well aware of his talents. My wide experience in the field and my personal knowledge
about Dr. Khaliduzzaman allowed me to discuss his book in detail. Throughout his
research career, he has gained a broad knowledge of expertise in non-destructive study
of table and hatching eggs, explored the potentially of egg incubation period, reported
the concept of embryo gradings for next-generation egg and poultry industry. His
extensive knowledge and documented records set him apart from most researchers in
the fields. His research is extremely notable for achieving several “firsts” in the field.
His work was the first to introduce embryo grading concept, sex-specific differences
in embryonic activity and growth pattern, and so on. His work was also the first to
use non-destructive protocol to detect chick embryo gender, super-grade eggs/chick
embryos, cardiac abnormality in chick embryos using near-infrared sensor, and to
measure precisely the eggshell thickness using terahertz wave.
His book Informatics in Poultry Production primarily aims not only to serve as a
practical guideline for egg and poultry education, research, and industry but also in
other disciplines that are required to study developmental biology, ornithology, evolu-
tionary avian biology, and reptile research. Throughout the book, the latest devel-
opment in several latest non-destructive technologies and informatics are described
concerning productivity and animal welfare issues in precision poultry production.

viii Foreword
This book will serve as a valuable text for undergraduate and graduate students in
Agricultural and Biological Engineering, and Poultry Science and researchers who
need working knowledge in optical sensing and informatics and for professionals
engaged in process development for the egg and poultry industry. In addition to the
detailed description explaining the concepts, this book includes figures, flow charts,
and schematic diagrams, making it more reader-friendly, and I hope you will get
many benefits from reading it. All authors are experienced in the fields that ensure
the quality of individual chapters.I also hope this book will serve as a basis for
developing the next generation of poultry production and management system.

Preface
We need major advancement of egg and poultry sector to deal with the global animal
food security and animal welfare issues in coming decade. When I have realized that
it is almost impossible to make the growth of egg and poultry sectors faster without
integrating engineering principles and informatics with the poultry science, I took an
initiative to write this book for contributing and sending this message to the global
community of this sector.
Informatics in Poultry Production, the first of its kind, explores the role of instru-
mentation and informatics will have in the development of the next generation of
poultry production management. In this book, the latest non-destructive technolo-
gies (e.g., optical sensors, spectral methods, computer vision, fluorescence tech-
niques, acoustic or sound sensors) and informatics (AI, IoT) are addressed to deal
with productivity as well as animal welfare issues of poultry production industry
(pre-incubation, incubation, and post-hatch period). The core focus of this book
is to explore the unexplored egg incubation period enlighten with instrumentation
and informatics. The smart poultry production has also been made linked with the
multiple SDGs. Main target audiences are:
1. Researchers in agricultural engineering, poultry science
2. Poultry production industry, poultry hatchery, poultry equipment producer, and
other relevant stakeholders.
3. Advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students.
This book merges informatics, precision hatchery practices, and poultry produc-
tion system. It covers latest technological advances and reviews applicable for poultry
production and research and explains non-destructive engineering methodologies for
smart precision poultry production. It has been also introduced how to apply latest
technologies for current and future poultry industries.
In a nutshell, the researchers can get the idea of creating new research domain,
the advanced students can deepen their knowledge, the avian scientist can get the
details of latest methodologies for their investigation, and finally poultry production
