Abstract: According to the world’s agriculture produce survey; there has been a high demand for good quality and
quantity chicken food. The aim of the Poultry Farm Monitoring and Controlling System using IoT focuses on the
integration of wireless sensors and mobile network using IoT. Proposed system initiates the action automatically to
control the environmental parameters such as humidity, temperature, ammonia gas (NH3) then, the control will be
based on the set threshold value, when there is a sudden change in climate. The proposed system will decrease the
environmental diseases affecting chicken and increase the productivity and eliminate some human errors.

III. PROPOSED SYSTEM V. SYSTEM DESIGN

The proposed system has been built for remotely monitoring 4.1 MQ-135 gas module sensor:
and controlling temperature, humidity and water level in a MQ-135 gas module sensor is used to manage the air

comprises of control and monitoring subsystems as shown Ammonia and CO2 are one of the parameters which

4.2 DHT22 module sensor:
The system uses dht22 module sensor to detect
temperature and humidity. To control the temperature of
the poultry farm, as the normal temperature for chicken
and chicks is known (18oC to 21oC), sensors arrange
themselves so that the room temperature is set around
that values. The temperature can exceed the normal one,
when it exceeds, the sensor will trigger the cooling fan.
When the temperature goes below the minimal normal
value, the sensors will turn OFF the cooling fan. The
humidity also is managed in the same way as the
temperature.
4.3 Arduino MEGA 2560 micro controller:
Arduino MEGA 2560 micro controller board is used to
connect and manage all sensors.

for monitoring and controlling health related parameters of

chicken to improve quality and productivity of chicken
farming, which will result into profits for farmers and
quality food for human being.

VII. FUTURE WORK

Proposed system can be extended by automatically
detecting the diseases of birds by monitoring the weight of
the bird. Also, poultry farm usually provides a lots of
poultry waste. Chickens in farm can able to produce their
own power using poultry wastage. Goober Gas can be
developed for daily requirement of power energy using that
wastage in poultry farming.
