Design Of a Cage Temperature Monitoring System and Microcontroller Base On Automatic Chicken Feeder

Abstract

Chicken breeders are a type of work that is already familiar to Indonesian people and many chicken farmers still use manual methods to feed chickens and maintain the temperature of chicken coops. Because of that, the role of technology is needed for automatic feeding and monitoring the temperature of the cage so that chicken production reaches its maximum. This study aims to design a monitoring system for the temperature of the cage and chicken feeder automatically using a microcontroller. In this prototype, the feeding process uses DS3231 RTC module and motor servo, for monitoring the temperature of the chicken coops uses DHT22 sensor with lamp as indicator, and arduino uno as a microcontroller. Feeding is carried out based on a predetermined time that is morning at 08.00, afternoon at 13.00 and evening at 18.30. In the temperature control system, the temperature is less than 24°C, the lamp will automatically turn on to match the temperature required by poultry, and if the temperature is more than 32°C, the lamp will automatically turn off. The results of this study are able to monitor the feeding process and temperature of the cage in chicken farmers automatically.
