Abstract
This tutorial describes the library of key functions, developed in MATLAB, to identify chicken behaviors: pecking, preening, and dustbathing. The classification algorithm was developed based on combination of shapes and features as discussed in Abdoli et al. (2020) and was used for data analyses in Murillo et al. (2020).
