Domestic Chicken Chick's Banda using Neuro fuzzy logic technique for reducing energy cost

Abstract

This paper is about an automatic chicken chicks' Banda temperature and humidity controller, which uses the environmental conditions to measure and control the cage humidity and temperature. A mathematical model of the system is developed, a prototype humidity and temperature controller using Arduino/display unit is designed and MATLAB simulation of neuro fuzzy logic to analyze the behavior. The results depict that the temperature and humidity varies between 29°C to 32°C and 45 to 48 % respectively. The response of the prototype is able to act with energy saving of 3800J in 200 seconds. The issue of high cost incurred in energy consumption is addressed hence contribution to sustainable food and nutritional security by ensuring huge supply of healthy chicks using less energy and power. The energy cost was studied and it resulted into great saving with remarkable improvement in efficiency. The optimum performance of the chicken Banda is realized.
