Abstract

Poultry industry gain important nowadays for sustainable the food supply which egg and fresh meat. Therefore, the development of an automatic chicken feeder will be very useful for poultry industry to make it more productive and efficient. The purpose of this machine was invented is to reduce workload and labor cost by using a more efficient and practical automated system. This project was design to detect the water level and food container to make sure it sufficiently and accurately. The main component on this design is Arduino Uno as a controller. In this project, it has two outlet which is water outlet and food outlet. For the water outlet, solenoid valve will control the water flow to water container and the float switch will used as an indicator to detect it on maximum or minimum level. For the food outlet, servo motor will control the food to feed the chicken from the storage to the food container and the load cell had been applied to this design to measure the desired weight. In addition, it allows the user to select amount of food that need to dispense. This project will benefit the chicken breeders to avoid wasting food and make the feeding system more efficiently.
