ZamPen Chick Monitoring using Wireless Sensor Network

Native chicken farming in the Philippines grows as the government established several programs to guide farmworkers. Breeding centers like Western Mindanao State University (WMSU), where most farmers buy their stocks, need an efficient method of managing brooding chicks. One indicator that the brooding management is successful is the body weight of the chicks, which should be obtained weekly. To provide intervention to feeding, obtaining daily weight would be an advantage. However, individual daily weighing is laborious. Incorporating a wireless sensor network (WSN) and the Internet of Things (IoT) in monitoring brooding chicks benefits the center. The installed prototype throws the weight of the brooding chicks into the web app powered by Firebase. The weight log aids the center staff in feeding the brooding chicks.
