Chicken or poultry farms increase its production as the population in the Philippines demanded more supply of food resources. The livestock production is a billion-peso industry where many Filipinos are depending on. The researchers pursued this delving to address the need in providing an updated technology, to help poultry farmers. This study tackles Poultry Management System, an IOT system that automates the process of giving feeds and water to poultry animals. An Android application was developed to set the time, in which the user intends to give food to the chicken. Water is constantly provided to the poultry once the sensor detects that the water container is empty. As the feed and water tank gets low, a notification system is in place to inform the user about it. A solar panel is used to charge the battery that powers the microcontroller and motors. This technology provided a relevant result in upgrading poultry businesses that saves time and effort.
