Abstract

Poultry farming faces significant challenges, including high labour costs, human error, environmental impact, and disease outbreaks. This research aims to use IoT to control and monitor various poultry management parameters such as feeding, watering, waste, and egg collection. The system uses various sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, and communication modules to collect and transmit data from the poultry farm to a cloud server. It also uses a web dashboard and a web app to display real -time and historical data about the poultry farm, as well as to provide farmers with real-time information on the state of the poultry farm. The evaluation results showed that all the main units of the embedded system, including power supply, feed control, sensing, water, and display, were completely operational, and the system performed satisfactorily overall. Though due to unstable internet connection, some downtimes were noticed in connecting with the IoT. It is observed that our IoT-based automated poultry farming system can improve the productivity, profitability, and sustainability of poultry farming, as well as reduce labour costs and human error.
