DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF SMART POULTRY WATERING SYSTEM
Abstract
Poultry farming refers to the act and practice of raising birds (such as chicken, turkeys, geese etc.)
for the production of meat or eggs. However, several factors (such as ambient temperature, relative
humidity, presence of ammonia, dust etc.) influence the microclimatic conditions in the poultry
house and if these factors are not properly maintained, it could result in the reduced level of meat
and egg production, and sometimes, increased mortality among poultry birds. Furthermore, water
as one of the most useful requirements to mankind also it is one of the basic social amenities often
which life depends on and life cannot be comfortable without water. In view of the above there is
need to reserve some certain amount of water for daily requirement in a container gives the idea
of this project design and construction of smart poultry watering system which will enhance
continues water supply to the poultry farm. This project presented a study in embedding a control
system into an automatic water pump controller through the use of different technologies in its
design, development, and implementation. The system uses a microcontroller to automate the
process of water pumping in a poultry farm.
