Abstract

The poultry industry plays an important role in meeting the growing demand for chicken eggs. Inefficient egg hatching is a major aspect of poultry farming, and the development of an affordable and reliable egg incubator system is essential for small-scale poultry farmers. The goal of this project is to build a smart egg incubator with a temperature and humidity monitoring system using IoT. The incubator system uses ESP8266 microcontroller technology to automate and monitor the incubation process. The main features of the developed incubator system include energy efficiency, scalability and adaptability to varying egg sizes. The open source nature of Arduino facilitates accessibility, allowing users to customize and modify the system to meet their specific needs. To verify the performance of the incubator system, a series of experiments have been conducted using chicken eggs. Results show consistent and reliable hatching rates, comparable to commercial incubators. The affordability and simplicity of the Arduino-based egg incubator system make it a viable solution for promoting sustainable and accessible poultry farming practices, especially in resource-limited settings.
