IoT-driven Transformation of Poultry Farming: Ensuring Health, Hygiene, and Efficiency

This paper presents an innovative approach to poultry farming, leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), and edge computing. Unlike conventional manual monitoring systems, the proposed system deploys an array of smart sensors for continuous real-time monitoring of critical environmental parameters, including temperature, humidity, gas levels, and lighting. The data collected by these sensors are processed through edge computing, enabling autonomous control of farm actuators to optimize conditions for poultry health and production. A significant emphasis is placed on ensuring food and water hygiene within the poultry environment. To mitigate the risk of contamination and potential disease spread, the system incorporates precise food measurement mechanisms tailored to the specific age of the chicks. This meticulous approach guarantees the dispensing of the appropriate amount of fresh and uncontaminated food during each feeding cycle, thereby maintaining a high standard of hygiene at the feeder. Ultimately, this proactive system significantly contributes to safeguarding poultry health and enhancing overall farm productivity while prioritizing disease control. By implementing these health-conscious practices, the proposed system ensures the production of robust and healthy chickens, meeting the stringent standards demanded by consumers and reshaping poultry farming practices for greater sustainability and efficiency.
