Abstract

Broiler chicken farming is one of the important livelihoods in Indonesia which is generally carried out traditionally.Problems often experienced by broiler chicken farmers are the temperature and humidity conditions that are not idealduring the brooding period, which is one of the important factors in increasing broiler chicken production. The purpose ofthis study is to control and monitor the temperature and humidity in broiler chicken coops during the brooding period. Tocontrol and monitor the temperature and humidity, a device was designed for use in chicken coops. The device uses anArduino Nano as a microcontroller, a DHT22 sensor, and a PWM dimmer module as a temperature and humidityregulator, and an I2C LCD as a display for temperature and humidity values. The results of sensor readings on thedesigned device will be compared with sensor readings on a standard tool that has been calibrated daily for 21 days.Controlling the temperature and humidity of broiler chicken coops with an automatic system has proven effective, with anaverage measurement error of 0.65% temperature and 4.48% humidity, so that the cage environment remains in optimalconditions for chicken growth. The results showed that cage A (closed house with automatic control) produced a higheraverage chicken weight of 967.9 grams compared to cages B and C. Overall, stable temperature, humidity, cagecleanliness, and feed and vitamin management were the main factors determining the success of broiler chicken farming.

Review

The study "Perancangan dan Implementasi Smart Brooding System untuk Kandang Ayam Broiler Berbasis Arduino Nano" addresses a pertinent issue in Indonesian broiler farming: the challenges of maintaining optimal temperature and humidity during the crucial brooding period. The authors propose a smart brooding system utilizing an Arduino Nano microcontroller, DHT22 sensor, PWM dimmer module, and I2C LCD to automate the control and monitoring of environmental conditions. This initiative to move from traditional practices to an automated system is commendable and holds significant promise for improving broiler production efficiency and animal welfare. The paper's focus on a practical, low-cost microcontroller solution makes it highly relevant for local farmers looking to adopt modern agricultural technologies. The methodology involved a 21-day experimental comparison where the designed device's sensor readings were validated against a calibrated standard tool. The reported average measurement errors of 0.65% for temperature and 4.48% for humidity demonstrate the system's accuracy and effectiveness in maintaining stable environmental conditions. Crucially, the practical impact is highlighted by the observed increase in average chicken weight in the automatically controlled cage (Cage A), yielding 967.9 grams compared to Cages B and C. This quantitative evidence strongly supports the benefits of an automated brooding system for enhancing broiler growth, thereby directly addressing the core problem identified. The abstract also broadly acknowledges the importance of stable environmental factors, cleanliness, and feed/vitamin management as holistic determinants of success. While the study presents a compelling case for the effectiveness of a smart brooding system, the abstract could benefit from slightly more detail regarding the nature of "cages B and C" for a clearer understanding of the comparative results. For instance, clarifying if they represent traditional or partially controlled environments would strengthen the conclusions drawn. Future work could explore the system's scalability for larger commercial farms, conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis to facilitate wider adoption, and investigate the system's energy consumption. Further research might also involve integrating additional smart farming functionalities, such as automated feeding or waste management, to create a more comprehensive smart broiler farm solution. Nevertheless, this paper makes a valuable contribution to the field of precision agriculture, offering a practical and demonstrably effective solution for broiler farmers.
