In the Philippines, poultry farming is a crucial and widespread business that many Filipinos engage in. Free-range poultry farming also supports numerous Biomedical Engineering o
Palaweños financially. Unfortunately, it has a higher mortality rate, reduced productivity, and a greater risk of infection. It is also time-consuming and requires Cellular & Molecular Biology o
difficult manual labor. Furthermore, African Swine Fever (ASF), COVID-19, and Avian influenza impacted poultry production causing Filipino consumers to
switch from pig to chicken increasing its demand.

This study entitled “PoDD: An Arduino-Based Multifunctional Water and Food Level Detecting Device for Free-Range Backyard Poultry Farms” is conducted Bioinformatics
to improve the management system and boost poultry production of free-range backyard poultry farms and meet the demands of consumers using the Poultry
Detector Device (PoDD). The study gathered 10 Kabir raised by free-range method and was divided into two groups: Set A, raised with PoDD, and Set B, Earth & Environmental Sciences o
raised with commercial feeder and waterer. Both consisting 1 rooster and 4 hens with constant age and weight. The researchers raised the chickens and Embedded Systems o
recorded the data every day for 28 days straight. Energy: Sustainable Materials o
The result of the experiment revealed the following: (a) the PoDD has higher and met the expected water and food consumption than commercial feeder and and Design
waterer, (b) the PoDD is efficient in detecting water and food level of the free-range backyard poultry farms, (c) the PoDD successfully notified free-range Engineering Technology: Statics o
backyard poulterers through text, (d) lastly, there is a significant difference between the Set A with PoDD and Set B with commercial chicken feeder and and Dynamics
chicken waterer.
