Poultry Farm Using Sensor Technologies in Their Operations

Abstract

Hands-on management is the norm in most henhouses. Air quality, temperature, and humidity are only a few environmental characteristics that must be properly maintained. Each of these factors affects poultry production. There is a much higher mortality rate among broiler chickens than the normal rate. Using IoT and Wireless Sensor Networks, this research hopes to improve the health of Brunei’s chickens by reducing the mortality rate and increasing the number of healthy chicks that can be produced (WSN). Prototypes developed using IoT and WSN technologies were used to verify the above parameters against thresholds. Autocorrection operations are triggered whenever one or more of these parameters cross a predetermined threshold. Additionally, the user is alerted through SMS when something goes wrong with the system. These metrics can also be tracked and displayed via a Web interface.
