Smart poultry farming

Abstract

India’s broiler production is estimated to increase by seven percentage for the calendar year 2017, owing to increasing demand from middle class. Also, the countryis fifth largest egg producer in the world. This highlights the need for effective poultry industry, which can produce quality breeds to meet the industrial challenges. To increase the quality and reliability of this field, smart and economical way of automizing maximum human operations is required along with creation of database for future reference. In the poultry setup, the common challenges faced are emission of ammonia gas due to decomposition of uric acid of chickens. Also, maintenance of optimal temperature is necessary for the egg production. This paper provides a smart solution to automatically keep the ammonia gas content and temperature level of the area in control. Additionally, providing food to the breeds can be done on a timely basis without manual intervention. These can be achieved using cloud computing technique and with an exclusive web and app support, data can be logged. Hardware has been designed for this idea and the results obtained found to be satisfactory.
