Innovation IoT Solutions for Economic Animal Propagation Using Raspberry Pi Boards

Abstract

With the expansion of IoT platforms for smart livestock farming applications and their application to agriculture, farmers are becoming more interested. This research paper presents innovative IoT solutions for the economic propagation of animals using Raspberry Pi boards. This research has two main objectives (1) design and build a cooling system that continuously controls the temperature between 8-20 degrees Celsius and controls the oxygen content in the water between 4-8 mg/L. This control uses IOT technology to control the sending and receiving of data with the Raspberry Pi board. (2) The experimental cultivation of Chinese mitten crab in a traditional cold pond was compared to that of a new type of culture pond. The design and creation of the Chinese mitten crab culture pond and the use of IOT technology to control data transmission with Raspberry Pi boards together with temperature and oxygen sensor devices. Culture ponds have been found to cause eddy water and cause sewage and suspensions to be collected in the center of the pond and removed for their intended purpose. The design of the cooling system showed that the temperature and oxygen in the culture pond can be controlled according to its purpose. Similarly, the use of IOT technology to control the operation of temperature and oxygen sensor devices can be controlled with Raspberry Pi boards, which are ready to send and receive data via a Web server in RaspPi, and alarms can be displayed on computers and LINE applications with satisfactory results. Evaluation and experimental cultivation of Chinese mitten crab in a traditional cold pond compared to a new type of culture pond designed and created. Eighty male and 80 female Chinese mitten crabs that were one week old in a culture pond with a 1- to 6-week cycle of traditional culture had an average survival rate of 79.17%, and those in the new type of pond culture had an average survival rate of 89.58%. The evaluation also revealed that male crabs have a higher survival rate than female crabs and have a satisfactory, reliable, and objective growth rate.
