Diseño e implementación de un sistema de control y monitoreo de un ambiente controlado en el proceso de crianza de pollos de engorde usando tecnología IOT

Abstract

The text highlights the rearing of broiler chickens by small-scale farmers in the Ecuadorian highlands. Due to the lack of technology and high costs, there is a need to work on cost-effective automation systems to improve productivity. The main objective is to maintain optimal climatic conditions for the chickens' growth by controlling temperature, humidity, ventilation, and lighting. A climate control system was developed using NODE-RED, RASPBERRY PI 3B+, and low-cost sensors. The system showed significant improvements, with a 27% increase in average chicken weight compared to the control shed on day 42.
