YOLOv8-DuckPluck: A lightweight target detection model for cherry valley duck feather pecking site detection

The pecking phenomenon in poultry can lead to stress responses, feather loss, and even death. Therefore, precise and timely monitoring of pecking behavior in poultry is crucial for modern precision animal husbandry. Existing deep learning-based object detection models often face challenges such as s...
