Automation of a Poultry Hatchery

Abstract

This project shows the automation of an egg incubator from scratch, with multiple sensors and devices connected through Arduino. The monitoring is carried out by installing humidity and temperature sensors, where the actuators are made up of a fan, two sources that produce heat and the humidifier that is responsible for controlling the humidity of the environment, and a servomotor that rotates the eggs in a certain time, where all the sensors are controlled by arduino according to what is our control system. Where the best conditions for raising birds (chicks) are also contemplated according to their biological development, with a natural diet based on a mixture of soybean seeds, corn, barley, wheat, sorghum, mixed with alfalfa, with a Constant hydration having a birth rate of 99%.
