CLEVER-HEN PROJECT – CRIBI
Autonomous Smart System for the Elimination and Management of Biological Risks in Poultry Farming
Project reference: 10-GOE1-00004.5/2025
Project funded under Intervention 7161 – Cooperation of Operational Groups of the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI) within Spain’s Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan 2023–2027.
Project Overview
The CLEVER-HEN project aims to develop an autonomous smart system for the detection, monitoring and elimination of biological risks in intensive poultry farms. The solution combines advanced technologies for autonomous navigation, automated environmental sampling and biological decontamination.
The initiative seeks to improve biosecurity in poultry farming facilities, reduce exposure to potentially hazardous biological agents, enhance animal health and contribute to the sustainability and competitiveness of the agri-food sector.
The CRIBI Operational Group is made up of:
- COUNTERFOG – Project coordinator
- AVÍCOLA BARCO – Pilot poultry farm
- Severo Ochoa Molecular Biology Centre (CSIC-UAM) – Microbiological validation
- EVOLUTION EUROPE – Technology consultancy
The project’s expected results include the development of an autonomous prototype for environmental sampling, bioaerosol monitoring and the decontamination of poultry farming facilities using advanced navigation and control technologies.
Funding
The project is co-funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), the Spanish General State Administration and the Community of Madrid.
Total grant awarded to the project: €224,998.29
