Abstract:- Poultry farming production is in demand now a days because of the increasing population around the world. Monitoring of a chicken farm could be very helpful to produce a great number of chicken meat and to meet the demand of the people. However, there are different environmental factors that are affecting the growth of a chicken that also affects the production of chicken meat for food consumption. This study aimed to determine the different sensors and materials that can be Included in the system architecture for smart chicken farming which focus on the monitoring of the environmental parameter.

      The results of the Gas sensor , DHT 11 sensor and LDR are the sensor which acts as the inputs of the system and Senses the data . And we will observe the data of them in things speak applet and we will automatically observe the values and we will control them as per the requirement needed .

      1. Power Supply:

         To supply power to the vehicle, rechargeable batteries are usually the best ones. A standard 300-500 rpm motors run well between 9 to 12 volts. Alkaline batteries, lithium-ion, nickel cadmium, or zinc carbon batteries can be used. The appropriate series-parallel combination can be used to provide more power than a standard battery can provide.

      2. Arduino UNO:

         The Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller board based on the Microchip ATmega328P microcontroller and developed by Arduino. cc. The board is equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that may be interfaced with various expansion boards (shields) and other circuits.

      3. LDR(LIGHT DEPENDENT RESISTOR)

         An LDR or light dependent resistor is also known as photo resistor, photocell, photoconductor. It is a one type of resistor whose resistance varies depending on the amount of light falling on its surface. When the light falls on the resistor, then the resistance changes.For instance, when the LDR is in darkness, then it can be used to turn ON a light or to turn OFF a light when it is in the light.

         Fig-3:LDR

      4. DHT11 Sensor

         DHT11 is a low-cost digital sensor for sensing temperature and humidity. This sensor can be easily interfaced with any micro-controller such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi etc to measure humidity and temperature instantaneously.

      5. MQ-4 Sensor

         MQ4 methane gas sensor is a MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) type sensor, used to detect the methane gas concentration within the air at either home or industries & generates output like analog voltage by reading it. Here, the range of concentration for sensing ranges from 300 pm 10,000 ppm which is appropriate for the detection of a leak.

         This gas sensor mainly includes a detecting element like ceramic based on aluminum-oxide (AlO), coated with Tin dioxide (SnO2) and arranged within a stainless-steel mesh.

      6. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) module

         A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light- modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly but instead use a back light or reflector. The LCDs are used to supports small and low-profile sizes. LCD module is shown in below figure-5.

      7. NODE MCU -WIFI MODULE (ESP8266)

         The ESP8266 is a low-cost Wi-Fi microchip, with built-in TCP/IP networking software, and microcontroller capability, produced by Espressif Systems in Shanghai, China.

         The chip was popularized in the English-speaking maker community in August 2014 via the ESP-01 module, made by a third- party manufacturer Ai-Thinker. This small module allows microcontrollers to connect to a Wi-Fi network and make simple TCP/IP connections using Hayes-style commands. However, at first, there was almost no English-language documentation on the chip and the commands it accepted. The very low price and the fact thatthere were very few external components on the module, which suggested that it could eventually be very inexpensive in volume, attracted many hackers to explore the module, the chip, and the software on it, as well as to translate the Chinese documentation.

         The ESP8285 is a similar chip with a built-in 1 MiB flash memory, allowing the design of single-chip devices capable of connecting via Wi-Fi.

         These microcontroller chips have been succeeded by the ESP32 family of devices.

      8. L293D MOTOR DRIVER

         L293D is a basic motor driver integrated chip (IC) that enables us to drive a DC motor in either direction and also control the speed of the motor. The L293D is a 16 pin IC, with 8 pins on each side, allowing us to control the motor. It means that we can

         use a single L293D to run up to two DC motors. L293D consist of two H-bride circuit. H-bridge is the simplest circuit for changing polarity across the load connected to it.

         There are 2 OUTPUT pins, 2 INPUT pins, and 1 ENABLE pin for driving each motor. It is designed to drive inductive loads such as solenoids, relays, DC motors, and bipolar stepper motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage loads.

      9. DC-FAN / EXHAUST FAN

         A DC, or direct current fan, uses a power source that is connected to a transformer. The transformer then converts the energy to direct current, or a one-way current. As a result, the quantity of power utilised is ultimately decreased.

         Fig-9:5V DC Fan

      10. LED (Light Emitting Diode)

      A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. The colour of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photons) is determined by the energy required for electrons to cross the band gap of the semiconductor. White light is obtained by using multiple semiconductors or a layer of light-emitting phosphor on the semiconductor device.

      Fig-10:LED

      3.11BUZZER

      An audio signaling device like a beeper or buzzer may be electromechanical or piezoelectric or mechanical type. The main function of this is to convert the signal from audio to sound. Generally, it is powered through DC voltage and used in timers, alarm devices, printers, alarms, computers, etc. Based on the various designs, it can generate different sounds like alarm, music, bell & siren.

      Fig-11:Buzzer

   2. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

      The hardware setup has been constructed using the sensors coupled with Arduino board for controlling the parameters. The humidity, Temperature, Gas and light sensors are connected to Arduino via jumper wires. In the programming part, a threshold value has been set for each sensors. Whenever the values sensed exceeds far or falls below the threshold value, suitable action is initiated automatically.
