Broiler chicken is a livestock that is characterized by fast growing. Temperature and humidity become the most important factors during their growth. Unmonitored and uncontrolled temperature and humidity within the cage can lead to reduced productivity and high rate of mortality. This paper presents a prototype that is able to monitor such factors automatically. A prototype of sensor using DHT11 and Arduino DUE microcontroller has been developed. Android-based app is deployed to support the prototype. A web-based application is also built to show the monitoring result comprehensively. The result shows that the sensor is able to continuously capture the current temperature and humidity of the chicken cage for some periods. After the implementation, the number of death chicks are decreasing from 5 to 4 chicks per day. Controlling both factors will be the future work.
