1. According to the guide, what can broilers huddling together in one area suggest?
   • The birds are ready for market
   • The house may be too cold
   • The feed ration is too large
   • The lighting program is working perfectly
2. What is the main function of pig cough-monitoring systems like SoundTalks?
   • Measuring pig weight
   • Detecting tail biting from images
   • Counting coughs to give early warning of respiratory disease
   • Controlling feed delivery
3. Which signal does the guide call underrated for early detection in both poultry and pigs?
   • Changes in water consumption
   • Barn paint color
   • Market prices
   • Egg shell thickness
4. What can be an early sign of a tail-biting outbreak in a pig pen?
   • Increased coughing
   • Faster growth
   • Brighter lighting
   • Lowered tail posture across the pen
5. Why do many vision systems report group-level metrics instead of tracking individual animals?
   • Individual data is illegal to collect
   • Animals look alike and overlap, making individual tracking hard
   • Cameras cannot see animals at all
   • Farmers only care about the barn's temperature
6. How do camera systems typically estimate pig weight?
   • By counting the number of meals eaten
   • By listening to footsteps
   • By using depth cameras to capture body shape and a regression model calibrated against scale weighings
   • By measuring barn humidity
7. Which statement about these monitoring systems is accurate according to the guide?
   • They flag that something has changed, and a person or veterinarian must investigate
   • They diagnose the specific disease automatically
   • They improve welfare even if nobody responds to alerts
   • They work identically in every barn
8. What concern do critics raise about barn monitoring technology?
   • It makes barns too quiet
   • It uses too little electricity
   • It prevents veterinarians from visiting
   • It could be used to justify higher stocking densities rather than better conditions
