Android-Based Chicken Development Monitoring Application

Abstract

Eggs are one of the staples of Indonesian people’s food. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), it was found that the total national egg consumption in 2018 was 2,766,760 tons. As for the total production of 2,968,954 tons, so there was an excess of 202,195 tons of national stock. Even though there is excess stock, the current market price is unstable due to seed restrictions, so the chicken is slow to produce. In addition, the weather in the environment around the cage also affects the productivity of laying hens. In linda chicken farms, the problems faced are the same as those above, weather factors affect the health and productivity of chickens. If there is an unstable temperature and weather many chickens will experience pain and may even die. In this case, breeders sometimes do not know how the temperature and the weather are housed, whether or not the chicken needs it. With this Kancer system, breeders can monitor the development of laying hens and cages. Starting from the active or not the chicken is producing, changes in temperature, humidity and notification if there is rain. Microcontroller device that is installed in a cage and connected to a wifi network will send data temperature, humidity and rain detection to the server, then from the server the data will be processed and then sent to the application. And to monitor the productivity of each chicken, the kancer system utilizes the qrcode that has been stored per-chicken data, then through the kancer qrcode application is scanned and the application will display chicken data ranging from age to the number of eggs produced by the chicken.
