VII. CONCLUSION
In our project embedded system and IOT
both are an innovative technology which can
changes a manual poultry farm into “Smart farm” or
“Intelligent farm”. The system could work on the
android mobile application helping the owner to
monitor the poultry farm such as food feeding, water
function and unwanted gas reduction. The proposed
system can reduce manpower, cost, time, and
decreasing in the poultry diseases.

VIII. FUTURE WORKS

The system is fully an automatic system to
monitor and control the environmental changes such
as temperature, ammonia gas, and food feeding
without human intervention. This paper can be
extended by automating the disposal of waste and
automatically detecting the diseases of birds by
monitoring the weight of the bird.
