📢 New Novofocus available on the NOVOCENTER 💡 What is the role of light intensity in a poultry house? 👉 Light intensity can vary significantly throughout a house depending on the light source and its location. Because of the chickens’ sensitivity to light and its importance in regulating behaviours, light is used as a management tool to optimize productivity. Light, as an environmental factor, consists of three aspects that can affect the physical activity of chickens : 👉 Light duration 👉 Light intensity 👉 Color spectrum 🎯 Lighting program must be adjusted according to specific situations. It is a management tool like the light duration.

Scientist and polymath Francis Galton discovered that not all crowd behaviour was negative. Indeed he found that if you asked enough people the same question, they might come up with better answers than even the experts. It was in 1906 that Galton made his discovery of what is known as the wisdom of crowds. He attended a farmers' fair in Plymouth where he was intrigued by a weight guessing contest. The goal was to guess the weight of an ox when it was butchered and dressed. Around 800 people entered the contest and wrote their guesses on tickets. The person who guessed closest to the butchered weight of the ox won a prize. After the contest Galton took the tickets and ran a statistical analysis on them. He discovered that the average guess of all the entrants was remarkably close to the actual weight of the butchered ox. In fact it was under by only 1lb for an ox that weighed 1,198 lbs. This collective guess was not only better than the actual winner of the contest but also better than the guesses made by cattle experts at the fair. It seemed that democracy of thought could produce amazing results. However, to benefit from the wisdom of crowds several conditions must be in place. First each individual member of the crowd must have their own independent source of information. Second they must make individual decisions and not be swayed by the decisions of those around them. And third, there must be a mechanism in place that can collate these diverse opinions. Source: Derren Brown #delphimethod https://lnkd.in/gndyKHq7
