About
Sabin Poudel is a researcher focused on precision livestock farming and animal welfare, with a particular emphasis on improving management practices in cage-free (CF) egg production systems. His work addresses a critical challenge for the poultry industry: reducing floor eggs—eggs laid outside nest boxes—which can lead to economic losses and hygiene issues. In his most-cited study (2022, 14 citations), Poudel pioneered the use of ground robot manipulation to deter hens from laying floor eggs, demonstrating that autonomous robotic interventions can significantly reduce floor egg numbers without compromising hen production performance, stress levels, bone quality, or behavior. This innovative approach integrates robotics, animal behavior, and welfare science, offering a scalable, non-invasive solution for commercial CF housing. By showing that robotic systems can effectively manage hen movement while maintaining welfare standards, Poudel’s research provides a practical tool for egg producers transitioning to cage-free systems. His work highlights the potential of precision technologies to address longstanding industry challenges, positioning him as a key contributor to sustainable and humane poultry production.
