Poultry Farm Control and Management System Using Wireless Sensor Networks

Nowadays, Automation plays an important role in everyday life. IoT based poultry farming is useful in situations where remote monitoring and maintenance is needed and this in turn modifies the conventional farm into a modern farm with various automated features. To improve chicken health and growth, various factors that affect the chicken health are regularly monitored. This gives an idea on how to setup Smart Poultry Farming System u IoT components. This system uses Atmega328 for interfacing with different sensors to sense the values for specific parameters and ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module to upload the data to the cloud. Various environmental factors are sensed in the poultry farm, which includes temperature, ammonia content in the air, food level and water level. The system not only monitors these parameters, but also uses a variety of automated techniques to effectively tune them. The proposed work is useful for farmers who follow traditional farming practices, as they can easily access and remotely control the poultry farm with a mobile phone, reducing manual monitoring and increasing the yield of the poultry farm.
