SASETAN: Broiler Health Examination Gloves Integrated with Arduino Uno Technology

Abstract

Broiler chickens have a genetic characteristic of fast growth, but are very susceptible to diseases caused by microorganisms, this causes broiler breeders to complain about the sudden death of their chickens. Broiler breeders usually check the health of their chickens by observing them directly, but this is less effective because just looking at the physical appearance does not guarantee the health of the chicken itself. The aim of this research is to analyze and overcome broiler chicken health problems, with innovations that also aim to increase food security in Indonesia through improving the quality of broiler chickens. SASETAN is an innovation that uses quantitative research methods and carries out experiments on 30 broiler chicken subjects. SASETAN's working mechanism includes input (temperature sensor, heart rate sensor and sound sensor), process (Arduino), and output (LCD and Buzzer) with Temperature Sensor reading interval data 37-41; Heart Rate Sensor 250-470; and Sound Censorship is 18–23. And from the results of the experiments we have carried out, SASETAN technology can help broiler breeders to detect chicken health early and can reduce losses for broiler breeders. Based on the technical feasibility analysis, SASETAN technology is more accurate than direct observation systems, and is practical in use. The implication of these findings is that the development of SASETAN technology can improve efficiency and animal welfare in the broiler farming industry.
