The practice of poultry raising plays an indispensable role in ensuring accessible meat for consumers at reasonable costs. Nevertheless, businesses face issues like insufficient labor force management, ensuring chick welfare, and guaranteeing operational efficiency. Our current venture seeks to alleviate certain issues within poultry production by addressing shortages among laborers and ensuring the well-being of young birds. Young chickens must frequently engage in physical activity to build robust skeletons and muscular systems while maintaining their health. Currently, there needs to be continuous monitoring in place so as not to overlook their engagement status. Farming staff frequently employ light signals, noises, or subtle motions to stimulate chick activity; however, such efforts may lead to fatigue and difficulty in consistently performing tasks effectively. At substantial chicken operations, vigilance towards all chicks must be maintained; however, due to staffing limitations, individual monitoring of each bird cannot always occur. Due to this circumstance, certain chicks could suffer inadequate attention, leading to potential illness. In order to address this issue, we have initiated an initiative known as “The Intelligent Chicken Farming”.

A device equipped with lights and detectors tracks if baby birds are active. If any of its charges decide they need rest but stay still longer than usual, this machine will use illumination or approach nearby to prompt movement in those birds. It aids in keeping the chicks energetic throughout the entire day by eliminating the need for constant supervision. This tool facilitates farming tasks for ease and ensures chick development efficiently through minimal human intervention. In general, this robotic device enhances the quality of life for not only the baby birds but also their human caretakers through its ability to keep the young ones engaged and contented, promoting robust growth and health in chickens without requiring excessive labor on behalf of the farm owners, thereby lowering expenses associated with raising these animals.
