Smarter Decisions for Live Production Management


Every live production team faces the same challenge: reduce costs, improve efficiency,and deliver the right birds to the plant, all while balancing hundreds of moving parts.
CAMERA Optima gives live production managers a way to see how those parts fittogether. It models every decision  housing density, downtime, genetics, feedprograms, or environmental adjustments  showing how each one affects performance,cost, and throughput across the entire production system.

CAMERA (Coordinated Analytics and Modeling for Meat Enterprise Revenue

Acceleration) connects live production with breeding, nutrition, processing, and environmental data, allowing managers to:


  • Evaluate how management changes affect flock performance, yield, and cost
  • Identify where cost reductions truly work, and where they simply shift expense downstream
  • Simulate how downtime, stocking density, and genetic choices influence total pounds produced
  • Visualize system bottlenecks that limit throughput or consistency

Stop guessing where to cut. CAMERA Optima shows where to optimize.

Run “What-If” Scenarios That Reflect the Real World


Every flock and every site is different.
CAMERA Optima allows you to test and compare management strategies before you implement them in the field:

  • Adjust downtime between flocks to find the most efficient turnaround time
  • Explore bird density changes to balance welfare, performance, and cost
  • Evaluate genetic packages for feed conversion, growth curve, and yield
  • Simulate environmental changes such as temperature and humidity, and see the impact on feed intake and weight gain
  • Assess feed additives, coccidiostats, or hatchery interventions for performance impact

All in minutes with outcomes that reflect your company’s real data, not generic models.

Manage Costs Without Creating New Ones


Reducing live production costs shouldn’t mean higher costs at the plant. CAMERA Optima gives you the full view, helping you pinpoint where cost savings add value and where they don’t.

Sometimes, spending a little more in live production actually saves money overall. CAMERA Optima helps you see those relationships clearly, before you make the change.

Developed for the Dynamics of Live Production


CAMERA Optima was built by and for people who understand the complexities of

growing birds at scale.

It’s not just another dashboard. It’s a decision engine that models your operation in real

time.

  • Models how changes in feed programs, genetics, and environment influence performance and total cost
  • Simulates “what-if” scenarios to identify adjustments that lower live cost without increasing plant cost
  • Evaluates downtime, bird density, and housing strategies to optimize throughput and efficiency
  • Assesses feed additives, water treatments, and hatchery interventions for measurable performance impact
  • Links data from nutrition, live production, and processing to provide a unified system perspective
  • Helps teams anticipate outcomes before implementing changes, saving time, cost, and risk

Driving Excellence in Live Production


“CAMERA Optima lets us see how each live production decision impacts everything

else — from feed intake to plant yield. We no longer chase single metrics; we manage

the entire system.”

— Live Production Director, U.S. Poultry Integrator


Technical Note


CAMERA Optima combines biological, environmental, and operational data to model how live production decisions affect system performance and cost.By linking genetics, housing, nutrition, and management practices, CAMERA Optima provides live production teams with a clear, data-based view of where improvements can deliver the greatest overall impact.
