Respiratory diseases are common on poultry farms during spring and autumn. Due to the high density of the farm environment, an epidemic can spread very quickly and cause large-scale biological infections. Therefore, developing software capable of monitoring or providing early warnings of respiratory disease in chickens is very important because it helps prevent the spread of diseases and enhances the health of the chickens. This study proposes an acoustic detection system for chicken coughing (A
