ABSTRACT: Poultry farming, encompassing the raising of domesticated birds like chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese for meat and eggs, is a crucial components of global food production and a significant income source for farmers in certain countries. Despite its importance, this sector faces technological obsolescence, particularly in real-time monitoring of water quality pH levels. Previous studies have delineated the effects of acidified and non-acidified drinking water for poultry. This study addresses this challenge by introducing an automated system for regulating water acidity, utilizing and Arduino-based monitoring system. The objective is to help farmers automatically maintain and monitor water acidity, ensuring safe water quality that does not harm domesticated birds. This initiative contributes to enhanced poultry well-being, reduced mortality rates, and improved production efficiency, benefiting both farmers and consumers. The successful automation of pH level monitoring has resulted in maintaining the correct and safe ideal pH level in water (between 5 and 7) for chickens. Additionally, the study incorporates automated water irrigation, providing poultry with appropriately acidic drinking water and promoting sustainability by minimizing water waste and corrective interventions. In the concurrent 22-day study, the analysis of weight records reveals that chickens with regulated water intake exhibited accelerated growth and weight gain, particularly notable between days five and six. The automated water management system successfully regulated water pH, ensuring a safer environment for the farm's chickens. Chickens with regulated water not only experienced quicker weight gain but also demonstrated enhanced overall growth compared to those with unregulated water intake. This underscores the positive impact of pH-controlled water on poultry development, contributing to improved weight outcomes and overall well-being. Overall, the integration of Arduino technology for pH monitoring in poultry farming signifies a significant stride towards precision agriculture and the sustainable production of high-quality poultry products.
