Abstract—Chicken or poultry farms increase its production as
the population in the Philippines demanded more supply of
food resources. The livestock production is a billion-peso
industry where many Filipinos are depending on. The
researchers pursued this delving to address the need in
providing an updated technology, to help poultry farmers. This

study tackles Poultry Management System, an IOT system that
automates the process of giving feeds and water to poultry
animals. An Android application was developed to set the time,
in which the user intends to give food to the chicken. Water is
constantly provided to the poultry once the sensor detects that
the water container is empty. As the feed and water tank gets
low, a notification system is in place to inform the user about it.
A solar panel is used to charge the battery that powers the
microcontroller and motors. This technology provided a
relevant result in upgrading poultry businesses that saves time
and effort.
