IoT-Based Smart Environmental Management System for Enhanced Broiler Production

Abstract

The vital food production industry of broiler farming continues to confront three main difficulties involving inefficient resource utilization and disease spread together with unfavorable growth conditions, poultry production using Internet of Things integrates technology to generate substantial yield enhancements by optimizing environmental standards and controlling feed distribution and water delivery coupled with medical surveillance systems. The paper proposes an IoT-based environmental control system that employs economical universal components for broiler houses. The implemented system utilizes a DHT22 sensor to run continuous temperature and humidity monitoring, which ensures correct broiler climate conditions for proper development, as well as the system operates water supply functions through a servo motor and controls lighting with NeoPixel LEDs to adjust bird circadian rhythms toward improved well-being. The system uses an ESP32 microcontroller as its main processing component, providing quick data transfer capabilities and remote interface features. The software platform utilizes Wokwi for IoT simulation while Node-RED serves to build an interactive dashboard that farmers can use to monitor and modify system parameters. The system’s experimental data shows its capability to preserve suitable environmental parameters while cutting down maintenance needs and boosting broiler developmental rates. The paper established through this investigation that IoT-based smart farming solutions show promise for enhanced productivity together with reduced operative expenses and improved sustainable poultry industry methods.
