space with radiant heat. The requirement for electricity is
less but the temperature varies over the tube. This leads to
the discontinuous power supply and causes overheating.
D. UNDERFLOOR HEATER BROODING:
In this system, the heat is transferred through the

underground electric heater and underground pipes. It
depends on conduction, radiation, and convection. The
disadvantage of this system is it requires external boiling
and cooling system and also occupies more space.
E. GAS BROODING:
LPG gas is used as a heat supplier in gas brooding. This is

not a fully automated system and requires the labor force.
A constant increase of prize in the LPG gas cylinder
affects the rural poultry farmers.

III. PROPOSED SYSTEM

To implement an intelligent brooding process in poultry
farming, a micro-controller is used along with a triac, relay,
buzzer, keypad, mobile Bluetooth and different types of
sensors are used.

IV. WORKING PRINCIPLE

A single micro-controller can control all other
components either in a direct way or in an indirect way.
Two steps down the transformer and power board are used.
An equal power supply is given to all over the circuit. The
temperature sensor is fixed and it senses both high and low
temperatures inside the poultry house. The humidity sensor
detects the moisture content inside the poultry house. An
Infrared sensor is used to detect predators. A carbon dioxide
sensor is used to detect harmful gases. A heater is fixed and
controlled by a relay to supply the required level of heat
throughout the house for the development of chicks
generally termed as brooding. A keypad is set and
connected to the heater for the continuous heat supply. A
motor and motor driver is set to open and close the curtains
of the poultry house. A Bluetooth module is set and all the
messages are passed to the mobile application. All the
components are connected to the Bluetooth module and
every message is notified through the Bluetooth mobile
application.
