“As the Spring Festival is on the way, the farm in Chishui sent hundreds of
chickens and eggs to the university, so we decided to turn these chickens into
‘AI chicken soup’ before the holiday to give teachers and students a taste of
technology,” said Chen Sirui, a student in the class.
Over eight months, about a dozen students from the class have tried to
dedicate themselves to developing the silkie chicken farming in Chishui. They
used the computer vision technology to successfully identify (识别) and track
(追踪) 250,000 silkie chickens. The result was a success of the world’s first
intelligent silkie chicken farming system. Operating for more than six months, the

system increased the farm’s output by 30%, keeping another more 60,000
chickens.
Class member Chen said, “This system sends valuable data to the chicken
farmers’ mobile phones. The farmers can notice their chickens at any time. The
aim is to raise the income of the farmers.” A leader of the university said, “The
project enables students to face real industry challenges, deepens their
understanding of technology and develops their practical skills.”#6
