The objective was to develop a dynamic model combining a data-based with a mechanistic model that predicts the heat loss response of broilers to their thermal environment as a basis for a precision livestock farming system. The advantage of such coupled model is that it combines a compact model structure with physically meaningful model parameters. It was demonstrated that static as well as dynamic responses of heat loss could be modelled with a correlation coefficient of 0.83 up to 0.96. The introduction of such tools to predict animal responses is one way to improve the process management by precision livestock farming.
