Use of Information Technology in Poultry Farming

Vijeth M Poojary

Abstract


Poultry farming is a fast-booming sector and demand is rising. However, the method used are mostly conventional; thus, there are room for more improvements, which can help increase productivity, profit, decrease resources use and better decision making in poultry farming. This paper reviews the use of different methods such as robots, drones, sensors, artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things, big data, disease detection in poultry farming. How information technology can be leveraged to increase profits and production without any compromise on sustainability. Professional poultry nutrition is a technique that assures the highest amount of calorie intake for development and fat formation. Muscular, liver, tissue, and feather growth are all aided by high quality, well-balanced protein sources. In chicken farming, a highly managed environment that prevents crowding, freezing, overheating, or scaring is nearly ubiquitous. Feed, watering, egg harvesting, and cleaning are all highly automated processes. Depending on the type and species, birds are commonly kept in cramped cages with up to three animals per cage and three or four levels of cages collinear to conserve space. It gives farmers more timely and accurate data on several criteria. You will need a system in a chicken farm, cheap prices, equipment preservation, and efficient leadership are all important. Using a wireless sensor network, smart monitoring of various parameters such as temperature, light, humidity, gas, and so on
