Commercial-scale food infrastructure

Re-engineering broiler production as one intelligent system.

ALTAG is developing a new production architecture that connects biology, engineering, automation, environmental control, processing and data into one coordinated system.

We are not redesigning a poultry farm. We are redesigning the poultry production system.
The story in one minute
01
Variation enters earlyDifferent starting conditions can travel through the full production cycle.
02
Production remains fragmentedFacilities and farms are often optimized separately.
03
System design changes the questionEach stage is designed around the input needs of the next.
04
Commercial value followsConsistency, productivity, welfare and lower-carbon operation can improve together.
The central problem

The flock does not begin from one equal starting point.

Differences created before and during placement can enter a distributed growing system where environmental and management conditions vary again. The result is not simply biological variation — it is production uncertainty.
Starting condition

Variation can exist before growout.

Different hatch histories, early-life transitions and handling can create unequal starting conditions.

Distributed production

Similar inputs do not guarantee similar outputs.

Facility, climate, environment, biosecurity and operating practice can alter the response of the flock.

System consequence

Downstream processes inherit upstream variation.

Weight, yield, scheduling, quality and cost become harder to predict precisely.

The ALTAG idea

Protect the input quality of the next process.

The core idea is not to replace every machine. It is to design the interfaces among processes so that quantity, condition, timing and information remain under control across the entire chain.
Starting Condition

Reduce avoidable variation before growout.

Environment

Create more repeatable growing conditions.

Inputs

Coordinate resources with actual biological demand.

Transfer

Protect condition between processes.

Output Quality

Deliver a more predictable downstream input.

Feedback

Use measured outcomes to improve the next sequence.

Why it matters

One architecture. Multiple outcomes.

System-level design can create value across dimensions that are usually treated as separate programs.
01

Consistency

Work toward more predictable growth, harvest, yield and specifications.

02

Productivity

Identify avoidable losses that remain invisible when processes are measured separately.

03

Animal Welfare

Aim to reduce avoidable stress through better system design and controlled transitions.

04

Lower Carbon

Assess biological efficiency, logistics, energy and resource recovery.

These outcomes are design objectives. Their magnitude requires project-specific measurement and verification.

Global deployment
Designed for local evaluation and adaptation.

ABC is conceived as commercial-scale food infrastructure. Each proposed configuration must be evaluated against local climate, feed economics, regulation, utilities, labor and market needs.

Alternative Agriculture

The next generation of broiler production will be a system.
