====== Poultry Farming Module ======

**Purpose:** Extend AOFS to monitor, document, and optimize poultry farming operations, integrating both automated sensor data and human input.

===== Key Functions =====
  * **Animal Health & Veterinary Records**
    * Track vaccinations, medications, and treatments
    * Record illnesses, recovery, and veterinarian visits
  * **Feeding & Watering**
    * Automatic or manual feed/water schedules
    * Logging feed consumption and water usage
  * **Production Metrics**
    * Egg production, weight gain, and growth tracking
    * Mortality or culling records
  * **Environmental Monitoring**
    * Temperature, humidity, and ventilation in coops or pens
    * Optional CO₂ or ammonia sensors
  * **Human Input Logging**
    * Staff manually record activities like cleaning, bedding changes, or inspections
    * All events are timestamped, linked to specific pens or groups, and synchronized with Farm/HQ controllers

===== Integration Guidelines =====
  * Must comply with AOFS **offline-first architecture**, syncing to Farm or HQ controllers when connectivity is available
  * Sensor and human-input data should be logged in standardized AOFS formats
  * Optional AI or analytics modules can provide predictive insights for feed optimization, health alerts, or production forecasting
  * Must not interfere with core AOFS irrigation or control compliance

===== Benefits =====
  * Enables data-driven optimization of poultry management
  * Facilitates health monitoring, regulatory compliance, and record-keeping
  * Supports research on feeding, housing, or environmental conditions
  * Allows farms to run experiments on production techniques, feed types, or climate control strategies
