MANAGEMENT OF SMART POULTRY FARM USING IOT 2
Introduction
IoT is one of the advanced information technology that connects two more physical devices
with each other by using internet connectivity. Smart poultry farm is one of the best
applications of the internet of thing technology that control and monitor the poultry farm
using the fundamental concept of IoT. This research study focuses on IoT technology and
how this process helps consumers for managing poultry farm [1]. It is observed that the use
of the internet of thing is growing rapidly and many farmers are using this technology for
controlling the poultry farm from any location. With the help of this technology, several
environmental factors can be controlled for example temperature, ammonia gas, light
intensity and many more. By controlling such kind of key factors the overall performance of
poultry farm can be managed and IoT plays a significant role in managing activities involved
in the poultry farm. This report is divided into several sections, for example, problem domain
and research question, background, project requirements analysis and specification.
Project domain and research questions
In this modern era, it is very difficult to control and monitor the efficiency of poultry farm
which is one of the common research problems. This research study will help consumers for
managing the poultry farm because it uses the concept of IoT technology that has the ability
to enhance the performance of poultry farm. The other research problem is to collect relevant
facts and information about the research topic.
There are the following research questions related to the research topic:
 What is the fundamental concept of the internet of thing technology?
 How IoT help consumers for monitoring poultry farm?
 What are the tools and components used in the management of poultry farm using
IoT?
Background and Project Objective
There are the following aims and objectives of this research project:
 To analyse the concept of the internet of thing technology
 To design and implement an IoT project for managing the poultry farm

MANAGEMENT OF SMART POULTRY FARM USING IOT 3
 To enhance skills and experience in the field of poultry farm along with the IoT
technology
It is very complex for controlling and monitoring the environmental factors related to poultry
farm which impact on the overall performance of the poultry farm. For reducing such kind of
problem information and communication technology developed a new technique which is
called as IoT. This technology has the ability to managing the complete process of poultry
farm and data or signal can be exchanged from any location [2]. This research project
highlights key aspects related to poultry farm and internet of thing technology and produces
an IoT device in order to manage the poultry farm. Mainly, the internet of thing technology
involves various kinds of electronic and electric devices for designing a device that controls
the poultry farm in which wireless sensor network is a very important component that
controls the communication process between sender and receiver.
According to Hitimana, Bajpai, Musabe, and Sibomana, (2018) the IoT is an effective
technology for controlling and monitoring the value of foods. The researchers identified that
for interconnecting all the sensors devices to the microcontroller all sensors values are
acquired with the help of wireless networks. In order to control and manage the poultry
disorders, the investigators deigned a wireless sensor network using IoT. This
implementation helped consumers for increasing the standard and amount of chicken.
Archana, Uma, and Raghavendra, (2018) provided their views on this topic and identified
that chicken is one of the effective food which is a high source of protein. The authors
produced an IoT based smart poultry farm in order to improve the overall productivity of the
poultry farm. Moreover, the researchers focused on the remote sensor system and probable
devices in order to manage the ecological parameters of poultry. For reducing the challenges
and issues associated with the internet of thing during the development of poultry farm's
project the researchers can use raspberry Pi and Arduino UNO microcontrollers [3].
By using such kind of technologies the poultry sheds can be managed 24 hours and IoT
technology connect two or more physical devices with each other for managing the
productivity of the poultry farms. This research focuses on the key factors linked with the
poultry farm and monitors the complete procedure of poultry farm by using high level
information technologies such as IoT, wireless sensor networks and microcontrollers [4].

MANAGEMENT OF SMART POULTRY FARM USING IOT 4
In this research study, the poultry parameters such as ammonia gas, humidity, level of the
water, and temperature will be controlled with the help of the internet of thing technology.
There are two communication systems involve in the IoT devices such as transmitter and
receiver where the transmitter sends the signals and information and receiver receive these
signals or messages [5]. Based on the poultry farm the advanced communication technologies
can be used in the development of IoT network such as wireless sensor networks.
Handigolkar, Kavya and Veena, (2016) identified that low cost of production and large
individual involvement in poultry can lead to less profit and productivity. For reducing such
kind of problems a system can be designed that control the entire processes of a poultry farm.
It can be done with the help of the internet of thing and wireless communication networks
and several sensors. It is observed that for controlling the temperature of poultry farm DHT22
sensor can be used and for air pollution, MQ135 sensor can be involved [13].
In this modern era, many consumers and business industries use the fundamental concept of
IoT technology for monitoring the overall productivity of poultry farm. It is analysed that the
smart farm can perceive any changed information derived from a semi-automatic
microcontroller and other computer devices [6]. The farming controlling system can be
controlled with the help of mobile and computer devices because advanced microcontroller
provides a platform to connect the entire system with mobile networks and exchange
information from any location. Therefore, the IoT technology is a very effective technology
that has the potential for controlling the overall productivity of poultry farm along with their
efficiency.
Project requirements analysis and specification
For designing and implementing the poultry farm using IoT there are several sensors and
devices required that involves, microcontroller, wireless networks, communication
technologies, sensors for controlling temperature and air pollution and many more [12]. The
objective of the proposed system is to manage the ecological parameters of poultry farm with
the help of IoT devices and networks. Such kind of project can be implemented with the help
of R5F1001LE microcontroller because it is very easy to understand and connect with the
other electronic components [7]. It is analysed that for designing and implementing the IoT
device for poultry farm consumers must have enough knowledge about circuit and software

used to run the programmes. However, there are the following specification required for
producing an IoT project to control the parameters of poultry farm:
Hardware
 LCD
 L293 IC
 Microcontroller (R5F100LE)
 GSM module
 Relay
 CPU fan
 Bulb
 Temperature sensor
 ADC0809
 LDR
 Mobile device
Software
 IDE software for coding
 Proteus for simulation
 Compiler tools
With the help of all these requirements IoT based project can be developed for enhancing the
productivity of poultry farm by managing their ecological parameters. For controlling the
temperature of the poultry farm LM35 sensor can be used because it is a very effective
component which will be easily connected with the microcontroller. MQ2 sensor is used to
maintaining the level of ammonia gas and light depended register will help consumers for
controlling the value of food along with their efficiency [8]. Below figure indicates the block
of diagram of poultry farming by using internet of thing technology and provide complete
information while implementing the whole project on simulation tools.

MANAGEMENT OF SMART POULTRY FARM USING IOT 6
From recent studies about poultry farm, it is analysed that the LM35 temperature sensor
mainly reads and manage the temperature of poultry farming as per the level of atmosphere.
In order to detect the unwanted and harmful gases from the system MQ2 gas sensor is used
and coding for microcontroller according to the designed circuit diagram will be processed by
using IDE software [9]. Based on the situation of climate the bulb will be ON or OFF with
the help of the relay circuit. However, when the value of food is received command by the
system then the food will be dropped on the tray and it is monitored by the consumers [10].
Both smartphones and GSM modules are used for getting information on a poultry farm and
exchanging data or signals from one place to another. The proposed system also contains
wireless sensor networks and a microcontroller device. By using this system the real-time
data can be produced and the performance of the poultry farm can be maintained in an
effective manner [11]. Therefore, the IoT based system can help consumers for enhancing the

According to this paper, the automation is
growing rapidly and it plays a major role in
advanced agriculture. The IoT is an effective
technique which can be used for controlling
and managing the poultry farms. This paper
designed and implemented a system based on
IoT technology and provides an in-depth
analysis of the research topic. It is observed
that low-cost production and high individual
involvement in poultry farms could lead to a
low return on investment. The researchers
critically evaluated the fundamental concept
of the internet of thing and key factors linked
with the poultry farm. After analysing this
paper it has found that IoT is an innovative
communication technology for poultry farm
and it has the ability to control and manage
the functions and systems of poultry farm.
The researchers did not provide an alternative
approach for controlling the poultry farms
which creates a research gap between facts
and research topic. In this research paper,
numerous environmental parameters have
been monitored using IoT technology. The
researchers suggested that utilization of
internet of thing helps the farmers to manage
the internal factors of poultry farm. The
authors did not provide any information

about limitations of IoT which is one of the
common drawbacks of this paper. In future
research, the authors will improve the quality
of study and reduce drawbacks and research
gaps of the current investigation.
Archana, Uma, and Raghavendra, (2018) According to this research paper, the IoT is
an advanced technology which connects two
or more devices with each other. In order to
improve the effectiveness of the research, the
authors used a literature review. The
researchers identified that there are several
communication networks can be used in the
development of remote monitoring system,
for example, Zigbee, Wi-Fi and transmission
line communication. For improving the
effectiveness of the paper the researchers
conducted a literature section which included
the results and findings of previous studies.
Moreover, the secondary data were collected
from the literature review, journal papers,
online books and other sources. After
analysing the literature review it has been
found that wireless sensor networks can be
used during the development of IoT based
circuit for managing poultry farms. There are
several advantages of this research paper
such as provided complete information about
the research topic, reviewed the importance
of IoT in poultry farm, discussed opinions of
other authors and reduced drawbacks of
previous papers. The main drawback of this
