The growth performance and blood indices of medicated and non-medicated broiler chickens have been the subject of this research coupled with a paucity of comparative information on what can actually happen to broiler chickens if not medicated when reared under humid tropical conditions. One hundred unsexed day-old broilers were randomly and equally allotted into two treatment groups of TM (medicated) and TN (non-medicated) in a completely randomized design each treatment with five replicates having ten birds each. The birds were reared on deep litter system for 56 d which was divided into two phases of 28 d each (starter and finisher), during which data were collected with respect to daily feed intake, final body weight, body weight gained (BWG), mortality rate while blood analysis was carried out on 28th and 56th d for starter and finisher phases, respectively.

- The increasing global demand for animal protein, particularly from poultry, highlights the importance of early diagnosis and disease control in the industry to ensure animal welfare and productivity.
- Symptoms such as abnormal vocalizations and behavior in poultry can indicate health issues, particularly respiratory illnesses.
- An experiment at Bowen University involved monitoring and analyzing audio from healthy and unhealthy chickens over 65 days to assess respiratory problems, with untreated chickens showing signs of illness after 30 days.
Feces is one quick way to determine the health status of the birds and farmers rely on years of experience as well as professionals to identify and diagnose poultry diseases. Most often, farmers lose their flocks as a result of delayed diagnosis or a lack of trustworthy experts. Prevalent diseases affecting poultry birds may be quickly noticed from image of poultry bird's droppings using artificial intelligence based on computer vision and image analysis.
