Abstract
Aiming at breaking down the bottleneck problems of different scale of poultry farms, the low profitability of poultry farming, and backward information management in China, a safe and efficient information management system for poultry farming was designed. This system consists of (1) a management system application layer, (2) a data service layer, and (3) an information sensing layer. The information sensing layer obtains and uploads production and farming information through the wireless sensor network built in the poultry house. The use of a cloud database as an information storage carrier in the data service layer eliminates the complex status of deploying local server clusters, and it improves the flexibility and scalability of the system. The management system application layer contains many sub-function modules including poultry disease detection functions to realize the visual management of farming information and health farming; each module operates independently and cooperates with each other to form a set of information management system for poultry farming with wide functional coverage, high service efficiency, safety, and convenience. The system prototype has been tested for the performance of wireless sensor network and cloud database, and the results show that the prototype is capable of acquiring and managing poultry farming information.

Modern poultry farming companies need a complete management system to assist companies in managing their daily production activities
With the development of large-scale and intensive poultry farming, more intelligent and automated technologies and methods have been applied in poultry farming [1,2], such as radio frequency identification technology [3], Internet of Things technology (IoT), and cloud technology [4]
This paper reports the conceptual design of a poultry farming information management system with a cloud database as the core hub, through the connection of the underlying hardware facilities in the poultry house and the upper management system and the cloud database to manage the daily office work and production management tasks of poultry farming enterprises
Summary
Modern poultry farming companies need a complete management system to assist companies in managing their daily production activities. It needs to include traceability management of products, diagnosis, and early warning of poultry diseases to meet the need for future development. There are methods such as poultry disease detection, poultry diet monitoring [5], environmental monitoring in poultry houses [6,7], product tracking and traceability, and abnormal detection in poultry houses to achieve precision farming. British Irvine explored the British broiler meat value chain [9] and provided a method for constructing the traceability module in the poultry farming management system through its in-depth analysis of the value chain. Research on applying wireless sensing systems along with mobile networking and cloud platform to some agricultural systems in crops [10] has provided us with new ideas to develop a similar information system for poultry farming
