Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to develop an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Poultry system for monitoring and controlling poultry house conditions in tropical environments. The system was designed to reduce heat stress and improve poultry welfare, health, and productivity through automated environmental management.
Research Methodology: The study was conducted from October 2023 to March 2024 at the Integrated Field Laboratory, Universitas Lampung. The prototype integrated multiple sensors (DHT22, MLX90614, BMP388, ENS160, and MQ137) with an ESP32 microcontroller. PCB design was developed using DipTrace, firmware was programmed in Arduino IDE, cloud monitoring was implemented through ThingSpeak, and a mobile monitoring application was created using Android Studio.
Results: The Smart Poultry prototype successfully monitored body temperature, ambient temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, air quality, and ammonia concentration in real time. PCB redesign was required to correct connectivity issues and reduce manufacturing costs through the adoption of a single-layer board configuration.
Conclusions: The developed system demonstrated the feasibility of a low-cost and scalable IoT solution for automated poultry house monitoring and environmental control in tropical farming conditions.
Limitations: Testing was performed in a simulated laboratory environment, and long-term reliability under commercial farm conditions was not evaluated.
Contributions: This study contributes a practical multisensor IoT framework for smart poultry farming and provides guidance for implementing precision livestock management systems in developing countries.
