Abstract

The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed traditional poultry farming practices in addressing productivity challenges, animal health and sustainability. This paper provides a review of the development and application of IoT-based systems to improve productivity and enhance operational efficiency in poultry farming-by integrating sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, cloud platforms and mobile applications, IoT systems enable real-time monitoring and control of environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and concentration of harmful gases. The system also supports health monitoring, automatic feeding and watering systems and data-driven decision-making. The review identified key challenges in adopting IoT-based systems, such as the high starting cost, lack of technical expertise and data security concerns. The review also discussed potential solutions such as training programs, availability of affordable devices and robust security measures.
