It was aimed to develop a model-based control algorithm that allows control of the growth trajectory of broiler chickens by control of their food supply. In order to develop the control algorithm, ‘Model Predictive Control’ theory (MPC) was applied. Two experiments were conducted on a small scale (50 animals) and three experiments were carried out on a large scale (2900 animals). To test the usefulness of the model-based control algorithm, different target trajectories were defined ranging from severe restricted growth trajectories to pronounced compensatory growth trajectories. The control algorithm managed to realise the predefined reference trajectory with a Mean Relative Error (MRE) that varied between 3.7% and 5.3%.
