Desenvolvimento de uma rede neuro-fuzzy para predição da temperatura retal de frangos de corte

The goal of this work was to develop and validate a neuro-fuzzy intelligent system (LOLIMOT) for rectal temperature prediction of broiler chickens. The neuro-fuzzy network was developed using SCILAB 4.1, on the ground of three Departamento de Engenharia, Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA), Caixa Postal 3037, Lavras/MG, Brasil [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Desenvolvimento de uma rede neuro-fuzzy para predição da temperatura retal de frangos de corte 222 RITA • Volume 17 • Número 2 • 2010 input variables: air temperature, relative humidity and air velocity. The output variable was rectal temperature. Experimental results, used for validation, showed that the average standard deviation between simulated and measured values of RT was 0.11 °C. The neuro-fuzzy system presents as a satisfactory hybrid intelligent system for rectal temperature prediction of broiler chickens, which adds fuzzy logic features based on the fuzzy sets theory to artificial neural networks.
