CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Introduction
According to Navaneeth (2015), the growing need for poultry products by consumers has urged the necessity for small and medium scale poultry farmers to meet up the demand since they supply the bulk need of the market especially in the developing countries. There exist the need to produce birds that will meet the market standards within the shortest time without straining the farmer’s time, resources and energy. In this project work an effort made to develop a labor or time saving automatically operated automatic feeder that will optimize feeding of birds. There exists many automated equipment’s to feed birds in large scale poultries. But it is difficult or not possible to include large scale equipment’s in small medium scale poultries. Normally small and medium scale poultries are run by farmers of rural areas. In small scale and medium scale poultries birds are fed with the feeder which requires frequent refilling of food. This consumes more labor and time increasing expenditure for farmers. With a view to facilitate easy and efficient
feeding of food to chickens in small and medium scale poultries, it was proposed to design and fabricate an automatically operated poultry feeder. According to Umogbai (2013), a mechanical family poultry feeder was done in an effort to provide a labour or time saving mechanically operated automatic feeder that will optimize feeding of birds in family poultry and small or medium scale poultry farms. According to Reyes et al., (2015) poultry is a great potential industry particularly in Batangas Province. The method of feeding chicken needs to be considered as chicken must be fed regularly to be more productive. The conventional method of feeding chicken is the need to continuously provide the food, be alert and conscious on the food remaining in cages and to feed the chickens in a correct period of time to avoid the decline of the production. The study was conducted in SPAMAST Buhangin Campus. It has acquired an 8-hectare land in Brgy. Buhangin, Malita, Davao Occidental which served as field laboratory for instructional purposes, income generating projects and has a general education building constructed for instructional purposes, classrooms and laboratories.
The students of
SPAMAST Buhangin Campus used manual method in feeding and
providing adequate water for the poultry. Sometimes they forgot to feed the chickens on time since in some cases they are busy in doing their activities and research. Automation of o f poultry will reduce time and effort. Efficient feeding has a major impact in poultry production. This Automated Poultry Feeder with SMS Notification automates the poultry feeding and watering system. This project involves hardware component such as arduino and GSM module for it insure the functions work properly. It will improve the methodology and systematic method in terms of poultry feeding.
Objectives of the Study
Generally, the project aimed to manage the poultry and automate the feeding of the chickens. Specifically, it aimed to: 1. Develop a prototype for the poultry which automates feeding and watering system; and 2. Develop a prototype that sends SMS notification on the remaining amount of feeds.
Significance of the Study
The importance of this project is to automate the feeding of the poultry. This project supports the poultry feeding to cope up with their needs in terms of automating the feeding of the chickens. This project allows the user to make responsible and financial decisions to make the poultry a profitable one. The project helps the students to improve their learnings and skills in poultry raising. The system or prototype provides regular feeding and it is important to the student to meet up their needs since they have subject related to the poultry.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study was conducted in SPAMAST Buhangin Campus, Malita, Davao Occidental. Thus, it has the capability of sending message to the end-user and automatically feed the chickens without using any manual method. It has prototype that will hold the other devices and electronic components.
The user of this project will only put a food for the chicken in a design tray, set the time to feed and put water in a container then the prototype will send SMS notification for feeds weight. The project was limited for feeding and provides water for the chickens not for maintaining the cleanliness of the poultry. The estimated measure of feeds is 300 grams per drop and 300 millimetres of water per feeding. Furthermore, the prototype can house approximately 10 chickens.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Poultry Feeder
A poultry feeder for feeding birds in their early stages of growth, having a rectangular-rounded shape, comprising: a clamp for embracing a food supply tube; a holding throat for holding the clamp; a shutter for limiting the food supply; a hopper coupled to the holding throat for distributing the food; a food receiving plate integrally coupled to said hopper; wherein the holding throat is bifurcated and surrounds the clamp; wherein the hopper extends from the holding throat; wherein the clamp, which has a cylindrical shape, comprises three sections: a left lateral section; a central section and a right lateral section, and is formed by an upper half and a lower half, wherein said upper and lower halves are symmetrical and semi-cylindrical; wherein the upper half of the clamp comprises: an upper left lateral section, an upper central section and an upper right lateral section; and the lower half of the clamp comprises a lower left lateral section; lower central section, and a lower right lateral section; wherein the central section having a width and a diameter which
are greater than a width and a diameter of the lateral sections; and wherein the central section is delimited by two central flanges, and the left and right lateral sections comprising an end flange respectively, wherein the central flanges having a diameter which is larger than the diameter of the end flanges, wherein the central flanges comprising a protrusion or security stop which has the function of limiting the rotation of the feeder, and wherein the end flange only extends in the upper right lateral section (Prieto 2014). According to Shu-Hui-Hung (2012), the present invention provides a synchronous poultry feeding system, wherein a barrier member is configured through the feed conveying trough. The conveying trough comprises a trough and a fence configured above the trough. The fence is configured with a plurality of feeding openings. The outer edge of the barrier member is close to the inner wall of the trough and the fence. The barrier member can be controlled by the control device to be lifted or lowered inside the conveying trough. In this way, when the barrier member is not lifted, it can block the feed inside the trough, so that the poultry cannot stretch into the trough to eat, while when the barrier member is lifted to an appropriate height, the poultry can stretch from their respective feeding openings into the trough to eat.
A feeder is provided, in particular for feeding poultry, comprising a polygonal feeding pan defined by a base and a plurality of side walls depending from the base. The side walls define an outer peripheral edge of the feeder having a plurality of substantially straight outer edges. The feeder provides increased feeding space and feed volume with respect to a circular feeder having a radius equal to the apothem of the polygonal feeding pan (Cottam and Ermerins, 2012).
Poultry: Behavior and Welfare Assessment
Poultry behavior is a useful tool in the assessment of the welfare of poultry. A unique challenge of assessing poultry welfare via behavior is that poultry welfare cannot be assessed via behavior alone. The assessment of the welfare of poultry occurs at the confluence of various disciplines such as ethology, ethics, genetics, poultry science, and veterinary medicine. The proper assessment of poultry behavior and welfare requires an interdisciplinary and integrative approach. This article is designed to be an introduction to practical items in the use of behavior in the assessment of the welfare of poultry and to serve as a guiding tool in the pursuit of further knowledge and experience (Linares and Martin, 2010).
According to Linares et al., (2018), reviews practical items for the on-farm assessment of the welfare of individual birds in a poultry flock. While welfare assessment of the flock as a whole is also critical on the farm, in this chapter, we focus on the i ndividual bird. An individual bird’s welfare depends on its ability to cope with the social structure, environment, management practices, and health status of the flock. Sickness and injury can impair the individual’s ability to cope. It is our responsibility to identify compromised birds promptly and take actions to improve their welfare. Training and experience are keys to identifying and assessing the welfare of sick and injured birds, especially within a large flock. This chapter covers topics such as the behavior of compromised birds, the identification of sick or injured individuals, decision-making regarding whether to treat or euthanize, and the humaneness and practical considerations for on-farm euthanasia methods. According to Butterworth (2018), poultry are the most common farmed animals on the terrestrial earth. For example, in 2016, around 55 billion chickens were reared for meat more chickens in 1 year than the estimate for the number of humans who have lived on the planet ever. The history of chicken intensification has been influenced by three factors the movement of people from the country to towns and cities, which also
moved poultry production from local to centralized: the rise of the use of electricity to ventilate poultry houses, which allowed large farm buildings to house large flocks of poultry, and the use of fossil fuel to enable feed materials to be to be sourced from around the world and poultry meat to be transported great distances. Approximately 75% of poultry meat today comes from birds reared entirely indoors, and of the 25% not reared under controlled conditions, the majority are farmed locally, or at subsistence level, although with a small percentage of flocks are “returning to the paddock” as people choose to purchase free ra nge or organic poultry.
Automatic Poultry Feeder
According to Navaneeth (2015), the growing need for poultry products by consumers has urged the necessity for small and medium scale poultry farmers to meet up the demand since they supply the bulk need of the market especially in the developing countries. There exist the need to produce birds that will meet the market standards within the shortest time without straining the farmer’s time, resources and energy. In this project work an effort made to develop a labor or time saving automatically operated automatic feeder that will optimize feeding of
birds. There exists many automated equipment’s to feed birds in large scale poultries. But it is difficult or not possible to include large scale equipment’s in small medium scale poultries. Normally small and medium scale poultries are run by farmers of rural areas. In small scale and medium scale poultries birds are fed with the feeder which requires frequent refilling of food. This consumes more labor and time increasing expenditure for farmers. With a view to facilitate easy and efficient feeding of food to chickens in small and medium scale poultries, it was proposed to design and fabricate an automatically operated poultry feeder. According to Pickens (2011), a feed level sensor s ensor for a poultry poul try feeding system is positioned within the drop tube of a control feeder of the feeding system. The sensor comprise a first light emitter or light detector pair to detect when the level of feed in the drop tube falls below a predetermined empty level and and a second light emitter or light detector pair to detect when feed in the drop tube is at a predetermined full level in the drop tube. The sensor emits a start signal to activate a drive to deliver feed to the feeders along a feed line when it is detected that feed in the control feeder drop tube falls below the empty level and emits a
stop signal to deactivate the drive when it detects that feed within the drop tube is at the full level. According to Fowler et al., (2014), poultry feed system is i s provided having a plurality of feeders that may be fully charged with feed while located on the floor of the feed house, but are capable of being stored near to their location when feeding has ceased.
CHAPTER III TECHNICAL BACKGROUND Technicality of the Study One of the main problems in feeding the chicken is the manual method used by the user which is using a tray for feeds and a container for water. This method consumes time and cannot maintain the regular feeding of the poultry. In terms of hardware, Automated Poultry Feeder with SMS Notification has the weight sensor which utilize and has the capability to manage the weight of the food of the chicken. When the sensor detects that the amount of the food is getting empty it will send data to the GSM Module and notified the end-user. The system also has an Arduino that will manipulate the feeding. This system focuses in the feeding and maintenance of the basic food of the poultry and it will provide watering. Also the system used software that can program and create a command for the devices so that the functions work well.
