@Grimezsz This video has a very detailed break down of how to feed them without buying stuff from the store.https://t.co/XtG9rDo1Oz
@Grimezsz There's indications that certain fermented foods and strains of chicken gut bacteria can make them resist disease. Lots of industrially grown chickens are given antibiotics that kill off important gut microbes, worth avoiding.https://t.co/OQmhYjc7B7
@Grimezsz Consider a separate chicken herb garden.Many herbal remedies work for chickens. Oregano, thyme, cinnamon, and turmeric, garlic, cayenne, paprika all seem to help.Garlic in particular is great. Can even help fight lead poisoning!
@Grimezsz Measuring with AI would be cool."Experimental results demonstrate the proposed detector outperforms the original YOLOv5 and other one-stage object detectors, thus meeting the requirements for automated poultry health monitoring"https://t.co/tKRmECSj0khttps://t.co/nVSUix6cxG
@Grimezsz This person's content on chickens is great for exploring more tech optimization. I have a movable electric fence on my wishlist for when I get some land because of exploring this idea. The right one can even defend against bears. https://t.co/mU2Uq2GEjW
@Grimezsz I haven't looked at biohacking chickens specifically, but maybe @_birdmachine knows of any interesting ways to monitor bird health. IIRC they were involved with this https://t.co/PA2iUyE6fV
@Grimezsz @_birdmachine Had a good dicussion about health monitoring of birds a while back with them.https://t.co/NlvvtlwB9a
@Grimezsz I think a tool that measures distress in chicken sounds, and correlating it with measures of cortisol in their poop would be minimally invasive.https://t.co/lTVTPk3OfR https://t.co/wVuStchCMz
@Grimezsz The interesting thing here is that fecal assays of glucocorticoids may correlate fairly strongly with the gut's production of it, and suggests it can also act as a proxy for heat-stress. Which impacts egg laying rates IIRC.https://t.co/yPpFmZpafn
@Grimezsz "The biology of stress in chickens is reviewed. Not only is stress associated with depressed production, but animal welfare influences consumer acceptance of poultry and eggs."https://t.co/XzqVc7haMg
@Grimezsz I know about this because there isn't enough information on how heat tolerance and gut health impacts autistics like me.TL;DR: heat stress makes chickens immune system work poorly.https://t.co/gLstQsaIjb https://t.co/zq3tfuHLFG
@Grimezsz I figured it was a good enough proxy to make guesses about my own health. Lines up well."Chronic heat stress inhibits immune responses to H5N1 vaccination through regulating CD4βΊ CD25βΊ Foxp3βΊ Tregs"https://t.co/V3dcAGsxav
@Grimezsz Figuring out how to make chickens immune to h5n1 would be really cool.But there's nobody here but us chickens.https://t.co/YDydcmvonk
@Grimezsz One of the reasons that "fermented grains" work to make chickens healthy is technically if you soak them over night you're sprouting them. Sprouted broccoli seems to make sulforaphane, which aids in heat shock. https://t.co/KlG7vjjv4L
@Grimezsz "Alfalfa, clover, mustard, buckwheat, rye, and legume crops, among many others, provide abundant feed for chickens." https://t.co/fDgXZBgD5PMustard... Seeds? ππ₯¬:3https://t.co/9mobGRjM02
@Grimezsz Its fascinating to think about how modulating gut health with this stuff might help chickens stay healthy.https://t.co/OLPkamajrmBut what do I know? I'm not a chicken scientist. https://t.co/lyMsrhD0Md
@Grimezsz Know anyone who could put chickens in space for a while and see if their guts get messed up?https://t.co/G6uyhWEEdp
Did you know that if your gut is messed up you don't get a healthy response to vaccines, and might succumb to disorders with B and T cell differentiation problems?Oh look, a study from NASA on why even with quarantine people still seem to get space flu.https://t.co/OZoC5V5Cw1
@Grimezsz If not, maybe you can train them to sing :D https://t.co/61VtJpvzDO
@Grimezsz AFAICT Happy chicken noises should correlate with welfare and health.https://t.co/5YVZz757oR
@Grimezsz If it doesn't exist yet, there ought to be a viable way to use deep learning techniques to monitor the voices of chickens like we can do in mice.https://t.co/FKrjxjSTIKI hear you're good at music :3
