All three baseline models (Random Forest, SVM, GLM) achieved perfect discrimination between Ross and Cobb populations on the independent test set, with AUC values of 1.000.
Robust Model Performance
The study demonstrated exceptional performance across multiple machine learning models (Random Forest, SVM-RBF, GLM logistic regression) in distinguishing between domestic fowl breeds based on tarsometatarsus measurements. This high accuracy, even with a relatively small test set, confirms the strong discriminative signal present in the morphometric data.
Machine Learning Workflow for Breed Identification
| Feature | Importance Score (RF) | Contribution to Discrimination |
|---|---|---|
| Ac (Trochlea Metatarsi IV Extension) | High (95-100) |
|
| Bmit (Breadth Middle Trochlea) | High (90-95) |
|
| Ab (Trochlea Metatarsi II Extension) | Moderate-High (80-90) |
|
| Aj (Latero-Medial Hypotarsus Width) | Moderate (70-80) |
|
| Gl (Greatest Length) | Moderate (50-60) |
|
| Sc (Smallest Corpus Diameter) | Low (0-20) |
|
| Laterality (Left/Right) | Negligible (≈0) |

Application in Agricultural Genomics
A leading agricultural genomics firm faced challenges in rapidly identifying specific hybrid chicken breeds for optimized breeding programs. Manual morphometric analysis was time-consuming and prone to human error. By integrating our AI model, based on just two key tarsometatarsus measurements (Ac and Bmit), they achieved a 100% accuracy rate in breed identification, reducing analysis time by 90% and significantly accelerating their selective breeding initiatives. This allowed them to focus resources on higher-value genomic research.
Outcome: Accelerated breeding programs, reduced operational costs, and improved genetic stock purity.
