The food filling system in raising chickens is still relying on human power. Breeders must regularly check on everything in the cage. In addition, if the farmer forgets to check it will be fatal and ...will affect chicken production. The research method will be carried out by monitoring feeding, drinking, vitamins and cleaning cages when ammonia gas is detected which increases above 50. Where in previous studies it was still done manually. Automatic control will be carried out using a microcontroller as the command brain and processing sensor data on the system. Where the trigger for cleaning is based on the ammonia level, while for feed it is based on the volume of the place to feed and drink. The weight sensor has an accuracy rate of 99.9% while the range is 99.13%. For the measurement of chicken manure ammonia gas can be done with a reading accuracy level of 99.69%. After using this system, the value of weight and gas content of Ammonia decreases from the first day to the third day. From the 3-day test, the highest value of ammonia gas content was obtained at a value of 197.56 ppm with a weight of 9.8 grams. The lowest was obtained on the third day with ammonia gas content of 18.37 ppm with a weight of 2.1 grams. For network quality, the system has an average delay of 0.07580 seconds and the packet loss obtained when testing is 6.11% (Very Good).
The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of different percentage of ration between day and night to male chicken medium type performance; the best level of percentage of ration ...that given between the day and night in chicken coop. A total of one hundred and forty four day-old male chicks medium type were divided into 3 treatments and 6 replications, each treatment consist of 8 male chickens. The treatments were ration that given 30% during the day and 70% the night; ration that given 50% during the day and 50% the night; ration that given 70% during the day and 30% the night. This research was conducted from August through October 2018 in Integrated Laboratory Department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung. Data were subjected to analysis variance. Significant was considered at 5% level of probability. The results showed, percentage ration between day and night signicant influence feed consumption (P <0.05), but not significant effect to body weight and feed conversion ratio. The percentage of ration given 30% during day and 70% night is the best treatment influence feed conversion ratio (2,41) with feed consumption 1.738.03 g/bird and body weight 718,58 g/bird.

Stress in chickens due to rising cage temperatures is a problem that is often faced by breeders, especially broiler breeders. Research with the title "temperature and humidity control system for ...broiler chicken coops", has formulated the research problem as follows; how to make an automatic control system to maintain the temperature and humidity of the ras broiler chicken coop to keep it stable using Arduino Uno ATMega328. In this tool it has been set, if the temperature is ≥ 30º C then the water pump will turn on, and the water pump will turn off when the temperature is ≤ 29º C. Based on the results in this study, the temperature and humidity control system succeeded in helping farmers keep the temperature of the ras broiler chicken coop remained stable, so that farmers' production can be increased. In addition, this system also helps efficiency in terms of time and labor, because this system works automatically.
It is effective to supply the chickens with cooled drinking water to prevent heat exhaustion of them in summer. In this study, drinking water cooling system installed in chicken coop is investigated. ...In the system, double tube heat exchanger is used. Drinking water is filled in the outer tube and is cooled by cooling water flowing in the inner tube. The temperature of drinking water depends on the ambient temperature, insulation of the tubes, cooling power of the chiller and flow rate of the cooling water. In this study, using simple formulations, the average temperatures of drinking water and cooling water are estimated and the temperature distribution of drinking water in the heat exchanger is calculated. Additionally, the guide for selecting the chiller suitable for the water cooling system is proposed.
The Barbara Ford Peacebuilding Center, a non-profit, non-governmental organization in Guatemala, runs an entrepreneurship project that seeks to promote sustainable economic growth and employment in ...the Santa Cruz del Quiche area of Guatemala. Local women are trained to raise chickens for food and profit. The women use heat lamps to maintain warm conditions for the young chicks. However, paying the high electricity cost requires a substantial amount of their revenue. To overcome this problem, experiments were conducted to find a solution that can maintain the warm temperature while decreasing electricity consumption. Two different types of solutions are proposed: improvements to the existing chicken coops and a newly designed chicken coop. For the first improvement, a water pump system and insulation additions are discussed. For the new design of the chicken coop, diagrams and reasons for the design choices are outlined and explained.
Extreme temperature in a chicken coop can significantly affect the growth and productivity of poultry. Therefore, the temperature inside the chicken coop need to be controlled to protect it from ...extreme temperatures. Most of the technology use electrical energy supplied to an evaporative cooling system to control the temperature of a coop. This paper presents an autonomous chicken coop cooling system using renewable energy and water recycling (REMACT). In this study, a monitoring system with necessary hardware, control application, powered with solar power source and water recycling, has been developed. The proposed cooling system consists of hardware part such as an Internet of Things (IOT) controller platform, temperature sensor, solar panel, water pump, water storage, water drain and pipe. When the temperature sensor detects extreme temperature more than 28℃ in a chicken coop, the water in storage tank will flow throughout the pipe and pass into water pump before it irrigates the chicken coop roof. When the temperature is below 22℃, the bulb will light up to transfer heat to the chicken coop and cause the temperature drop back to a healthy range. The water drain that is attached to the roof will collect the water and return the water back to the water storage again. The software components required by the project are Arduino IDE, Thinger.io, and Android Studio Framework. Several experiments have been conducted with hot and cold scenarios. The system was able to stabilise the temperature back to a healthy range. A usability testing result demonstrates 80% satisfactory rate. The findings from the experiments show that IoT, renewable energy and water recycling have the potential for temperature control of a chicken coop.
In this study, temperature monitoring was carried out in broiler chicken coops using LoRAWAN to transmit temperature and humidity sensor data in chicken coops to monitor and determine ideal ...conditions. LoRa can communicate data over long distances, transmit on the Line of Sight >= 15 km with Low Power Consumption with small BitRate. It is suitable for temperature and humidity data by considering the growth determinants of broiler chickens analyzed using Mamdani Fuzzy Logic. The growth of broiler chickens is determined at the level of ideal temperature and humidity availability, temperature, and humidity. Temperature and Humidity level is based on the age of broiler chickens. Therefore, the need for sorting according to the age of chickens, i.e., age 0-7 days, air temperature 31 o c -33 o c with optimal temperature 33 o c with 30-50% humidity, at 7-14 days old, air temperature 29 o c-31 o c with optimum temperature 30 o c and humidity 40-60%, at an age above 14 days, air temperature 26 o c-29 o c with optimum temperature 27 o c and 40-60% humidity. The age of broiler chickens to harvest is 30-35 days, with a live weight of 1.5-2.0 kg per chicken. Fuzzy logic can be obtained for the most appropriate temperature and humidity applied to broiler chicken coop to support the development of chicken seen from the chicken's weight at the time of harvesting.
