Alat Pakan Otomatis Untuk Peternakan Ayam Berbasis Arduino

Abstract

Chicken is an animal that is useful for daily needs, especially in order to meet the human body's need for animal protein and at a relatively affordable price. To maximize results, high quality, regular feed is needed, a good housing system, as well as health care and disease prevention. The author here aims to create a tool that can provide more scheduled and measurable feed according to what is expected. The research carried out is expected to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of breeders in raising chickens. Some of the tools and materials that the author uses are Arduino, LCD, RTC DS3231, buzzer and infrared E18-D90NK 5V. In this test the author provides limitations in the form of a feeding schedule twice a day and the number of chickens used as research objects is 6. So the author got the average result for one meal for 6 chickens in the first week was 23 grams/meal and 60 grams/meal in the second week. The infrared sensor is placed on the feed cover and is set to detect objects up to a distance of 36 cm and if the sensor does not detect an object at that distance then the sensor will give a signal to the Arduino to turn on the buzzer, which means the feed is low
