IoT-Based Cattle Pen Monitoring and Mobile Application Interface for WS Farm: Enhancing Livestock Management Through Real-Time Data

Abstract

The development of beef cattle farming in Indonesia has significant potential, but is faced with various challenges, including monitoring optimal housing environments, limited monitoring technology, and automatic device control processes. Like WS Farm which is in Subang Regency. The condition of the WS Farm cage is an open cage, the condition of this cage is greatly influenced by the conditions of the external environment. This can affect the health of the cows in the cage. Therefore, through smart cages, cage managers can monitor the temperature, humidity and smell of the cage via a mobile device-based application. This system can monitor temperature, humidity and ammonia gas levels in the cow cage in real-time. Through the automatic fan and light control feature, the system is expected to be able to maintain the temperature of the pen according to the needs of the cows. This system was created using DHT 21 and MQ 135 sensors and Arduino as the microcontroller, while the storage process uses Firebase Realtime Database and to access the interface using an Android application. Based on the results of field testing, this system shows data measurement can be done continuously and data transmission can be done in real time.
