Progress 07/15/19 to 07/14/24
Outputs
Target Audience:We used various sources (publications, classes, workshops, symposium and conferences) to reach a wide audience including scientists, students, integrators, producers, and industries. Changes/Problems:The major challenge was to convince farmers to change from cool cells to sprinkler because they are afraid of changes. However, with solid supporting scientific data, we were able to acheive our goals. For instance, all Tyson broiler farms are using the sprinkler in combination with cool cells, which resulted in a conservation of significant amount of water usage What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?1- Students were trained to analyse growth data, write posters, and present (poster or oral) at national and international conferences. 2- Constructive interaction between students, industry, academia, and producers/stakeholders How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The results have been dissiminated as poster/oral presentations at conferences, manuscript in scientific and applied journals, as well as personal communications with farmers, growers, and integrators What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?
Nothing Reported
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
As described previouslyThe sprinkler from Weeden Environment is currently used by all Tyson broiler farms. We had a virtual meeting with Poulina group to test the equipment under Tunisia conditions where water scarcity and heat. Several producers from Peru contacted me and they are interested to test the sprinkler. I hope that we can save water usage worldwide.

Target Audience:Our target audiences are farmers, integrators, growers, students, industry, and scientists Changes/Problems:The major challenge was to convince farmers to change from cool cells to sprinkler because they are afraid of changes. However, with solid supporting scientific data, we were able to acheive our goals. For instance, all Tyson broiler farms are using the sprinkler in combination with cool cells, which resulted in a conservation of significant amount of water usage. We started some communication with a major poultry industry in Tunisia and they are willing to test the sprinklers during summer time. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Students were trained to analyse growth data, write poster, and presented the data at conferences How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The results have been dissiminated as poster/oral presentations at conferences, manuscripts in scientific and applied journals, as well as personal communications with farmers, growers, and integrators What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?We are planning to extend the use of Sprinkler in many farm in Arkansas, Tennessee and probably in Tunisia where heat stress and water scarcity are a major concern and burden. As it is the last year for the project, we are planning to organize a research day at the department of poultry science at the University of Arkansas, invite growers and integrators, and evaluate the effectiveness of our work.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
The sprinkler has been implemented in all Tyson broiler farms and in several farms in Mississippi and Tennessee. We are also planning to do some tests in North Africa (Tunisia). We delivered the fundamental and applied based knowledge to endusers during several conferences such as Agrosym Bosnia, PAG Australia, IPPE Atlanta, WPC France, POSC Research Arkanasa as well as publication inscientific and applied journals including Frontiers in Veterinary Science, Animals, and PLOS Water.

Target Audience:My efforts using various sources (publications, classes, workshops, symposium and conferences) reach a wide audience including scientists, integrators, producers, and industries. Changes/Problems:The Covid-19 was the most challenging period. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?We trained students not only on the use of the sprinklers, but also to coomuunicate their data and improve their intellectual growth and presentation skills. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Our results have been disseminated to a wide audience (scientific communities, students, producers, industry,..) via publications in peer-reviewed journals, presentation in national and international meetings and conferences, and symposium such as PSA and IPPE, classes as a guest lecturer and websites such as poultry health today and. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?We are planning to organize a water research and awarness day in the next few months when the normal lives resume. We will also reach out to producers and integrators and share with them our data about the benefits of the sprinkler usage.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Although the Covid-19 pandemic, we were able to publish and deliver some of the fundamental- and applied-based knowledge to end-users (scientists, industries, producers, integrators, students, etc.). We are planning to organize a water research and awarness day in the next few months when the normal lives resume.
