1 IOT Based Smart Poultry Farm Ayyappan.V, Deepika.T, Divya Dharshini.S, Elayaraja.M, Shanmugasundaram.R Department of ECE, Knowledge Institute of Technology, Salem, India *Corresponding Author.T. Deepika Received: 09/0/07, Revised: /0/07 and Accepted: 07/0/07 Abstract In contemporary world automation plays a vital role. This paper focuses on an automation of poultry farm by using wireless sensor network and mobile communication system. Chicken is the most favourite produce in today s world because it is a nutrient rich food providing high protein, low fat and low cholesterol than other poultries. In this paper environmental parameters of a poultry farm such as temperature, humidity, and ammonia gas are monitored and controlled automatically in order to increase the growth of chicken. Water level also controlled and monitored with the help of sensor module. By connecting all the sensor modules to the microcontroller all sensor values are acquired then using wifi module it will be uploaded to the web page. The person in-charge of the poultry farm can get the internal environmental situation of poultry farm through PC or mobile phone using internet. This system will control temperature, humidity, ammonia gas and water level with the help of cooling fan, exhaust fan, ventilation window and DC motor without any human interface. Based on the threshold values it will switch on the devices. Thus this system design provides automated poultry, reduces man power and increases production of healthy chicken. Keywords: PIC microcontroller,wireless Sensor Network,IoT. Introduction From the last few decades, around the globe, there has been an increased level of awareness regarding the food safety and there has been a high demand for better quality food. This has forced many countries to adopt new protocols to change all manual farms into automated farm. In this way smart poultry farm has a great impact on increasing growth of chicken. This paper focused on modern technologies for a poultry farming to control all environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, ammonia gas which affects on the growth of the chickens. If the environmental condition is not up to the mark then there may be harmful for digestive, respiratory and behavioral change in the chickens. If chickens may get suitable atmosphere and proper water then it may grow rapidly and health of chickens will be good so the weight of the chickens will be increases. In the growth of the chicken climate plays a vital role. Smart poultry farm is designed in such a way that the climate can be changed by ventilation, cooling fan and exhaust fan. The parameters temperature, humidity, 77

Methodology PIC has been used as a controller and ESP866 is used as wifi module. LM5 has been used as a temperature sensor, which can monitor and observed the environmental temperature and send the information to the microcontroller which can send the current data and perform action according to that. When temperature goes beyond threshold value then automatically cooling fan will be ON to control the internal temperature of poultry. The threshold value of temperature is 40.6 degree to 4.7 degree Celsius. Once, the temperature is below the threshold value cooling fan will automatically turn OFF. Similarly, SYHS is used as a humidity sensor. This can monitor and observed the environmental humidity and send the information to the microcontroller which can sense the data and perform action according to current value of humidity in a poultry farm. When humidity goes beyond threshold value then to control that humidity Exhaust fan will automatically ON. Once, internal humidity of poultry farm is under control then fan will automatically turn OFF. MQ6 is used as a gas sensor. There are number of gases in air like CO, CO, HS,CH4, NH etc. Here focus on the ammonia gas (NH) in the air. Because, mainly ammonia gas is affected on the growth of the chickens, it may cause several diseases like Hand Foot disease, Mouth disease, Bird Flu etc. The threshold value of ammonia is 40%. When percentage of ammonia gas in air is goes beyond the threshold value which is fixed in a system, then to control the percentage of ammonia in air Ventilation Window will be open and Exhaust Fan will be ON. Once, the ammonia gas in a poultry environment is under control fan will automatically turn OFF. 80

5 Water level control mechanism for a poultry farm has been designed. It has been able to provide water to the chickens as per the requirement. So water should not get waste and health of the chicken will automatically monitor. Similarly, Level Sensor has fixed in a water tank to measure the level of water. The threshold value of water level has fixed. Once, the water level goes beyond that fix level then water may fill in that the tank. All the environmental data should be display on the LCD display. It displays the data like temperature, humidity, ammonia gas and water level as in the signed language which helps workers of poultry farm to know the details of internal environment of poultry farm easily. Acquired all the sensor values are uploaded to the web page. The person incharge of poultry farm can see these data to their mobile phone or personal computer using internet from anywhere at any time. 4. Hardware description 4.
