Chicken houses in Latin America

So chickens are one of the most important sources of protein in our global food systems. A few interesting facts.

The chickens grown for meat have been shaped by North American tastes

North Americans apparently like chickens with big breasts and not legs. Don’t mean to seem rude about this but it’s just a fact.

Many consumers in Latin America and myself also find chicken thighs more tasty

Call me a leg man. Okay sorry that is a tacky joke. Sorry I actually find beauty in many different shapes. But I am told Latin American consumers find chicken thighs more tasty. I personally think they have more flavour - chicken breast meat seems pretty bland to me.

These chickens are not very healthy - temperature is really important, sanitation, antibiotics etc. yum yum yum!

I dunnoe about you but nothing to me sounds more attractive than a big juicy chicken breast with a good side of anti-biotics - delish!!! Yum yum yum!

These genetically modified chickens are not terribly healthy - their legs are too small to support their weight and that creates a lot of production issues. A lot of these chickens die during their short lives.

You have to be very careful with hygiene and temperature is very important.

So let's start by looking at the temperature problem

Sounds a bit like the https://blog.interfaceware.com/pink-daiquiri/ joke. I think the real problem might be the chickens being grown.

But eh - you have to start somewhere. Once you Shine a Light on temperature and humidity you can then start to do A/B testing and try different breeds of chicken and start to see different outcomes.

So how do we get started? Let's not use legacy solutions.

Remember that motorola flip phone you loved 15 years ago. Like to use it today? Ummmm.

Maybe not.

No if you are smart you can look globally at what is available and build a new system which will be leagues ahead of what you have today.

Shine a Light , find the bottleneck, resolve it. Rinse-repeat. Keep moving.

So I got started with Chat GPT 4.0 With Bing and found Ubibot.

See Chat GPT with Bing! .

I found Ubibot a nice Chinese company with a wide range of nicely priced products that is easy to communicate with.

And we needed internet

So I bought a refurbished Starlink kit for $250.00. Here’s Yellowfin tired after trying out the Starlink kit which allows him to get very decent internet speed anywhere on the globe. Did you know there are now more starlink satellites in orbit than any other satellite?

Okay I admit - Yellowfin didn’t set it up, but it was very easy - just use the Starlink app and away you go - easier to setup than my Bell internet not as fast as fibre but still a good option for remote rural areas of Latin American countries.
