Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed and developed a Poultry Farm Monitoring System based on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) using Crossbow's TelosB motes integrated with commercial sensors capable of measuring temperature and humidity values. The data collected from the sensors is uploaded to an online database using an agent program and afterward accessed via the internet using web analysis applications. The feasibility of the developed system was tested by deploying the proposed system at N-W.F.P. Agricultural University's research poultry farm in Peshawar in the North-Western Frontier Province of Pakistan. To emulate the proposed idea, the data collected during a daylong experiment was put to test, evaluating the WSN's reliability and its ability to detect and report anomalies in the environment. This paper is the first step towards WSN based poultry farm monitoring systems. We have provided an online monitoring solution for poultry farms and tested its feasibility and reliability by presenting a thorough data analysis of our pilot deployment.
