In a chicken farm, thousands of chickens are eating the feed in neat rows of tiered cages.
In neat rows of modernized cages, hundreds of chickens stick their heads out to eat the feed with functioning exhaust fan in the background.

Speaker (Prof Zhixun Xie)：
In the future decade, the production and consumption of animal products will increase by over 40%.
But producing quality poultry product could face many challenges.
For example, outbreak of infectious diseases, increasing cultivation cost and better welfare for animals.
In the past 2 years, together with the research team of Queen Mary University of London,
We have developed the LIVEQuest system.
This system can automatically monitor the harmful factors in henhouses,
Such as temperature anomaly, ammonia and carbon dioxide content.
The system can provide us a real-time monitoring and management platform,
So we can take measures in time to reduce the negative effect of harmful factors on poultry.
Our test has proved that by adopting LIVEquest system, we can reduce the cost and death rate of poultry farms by 5%.

Speaker (Prof Zhixun Xie): The system can provide basis for accurate prevention and control measures for enterprises and government.
We hope to conduct more China-UK cooperation with Newton funding.
So we can promote our outcome in ASEAN and the Belt and Road countries,
Extending our benefit economically and ecologically and creating a better future for both animal and mankind.
We hope human and animals can live in harmony.
Animals will enjoy a better welfare while human have better and safer animal products.
