A sensor-based respiratory disease detection system in chicken in a poultry house.

Abstract

There are many common diseases which can affect the respiratory system (air passages, lungs, air sacs) of poultry. These diseases include Newcastle Disease, Infectious Bronchitis, Avian Influenza (AI) influenza, Infectious Laryngotracheitis, Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), chronic respiratory disease (CRD), infectious sinusitis, mycoplasmas [1]. The designed project detects respiratory diseases among chicken basing on their abnormal sounds like cough and snore. The system model has been designed using different hardware components audio sensor, microcontroller, temperature sensor, LCD. The system works in such a way that the audio sensor acquires sound from the chicken environment, it sends to the microcontroller which then interprets the input and in case of an abnormal sound such as cough and snore, the farmer will be notified. This systems architecture is based on context of operations and processes in real-time scenarios. Keywords: poultry, Arduino, respiratory diseases, sound sensor, WIFI module, LCD, temperature sensor
