SMART TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM FORPOULTRY FARMS

Abstract : oultry farming is highly sensitive to temperature variations, as extreme heat can cause heat stress, leading to reduced productivity and increased mortality rates among birds. Traditional cooling methods, such as manual water spraying, are labor-intensive and inefficient. This paper presents a Smart Temperature Control System designed to automatically regulate environmental conditions in poultry farms. The system integrates temperature sensors with a microcontroller (Arduino) to monitor real-time conditions. Based on predefined thresholds, the system activates cooling mechanisms, such as automated water sprinklers and ventilation fans, ensuring optimal temperature levels. The system also features IoT connectivity, allowing farmers to monitor and control operations remotely via a mobile application. By reducing manual intervention and optimizing cooling efficiency, this smart system enhances poultry welfare, improves productivity, and minimizes energy and water consumption.
