Abstract: The aim of the work is to present and create an experimental
model in which the integration of a low-cost, control and automation system for
a livestock farm will be demonstrated. The system, in addition to the model made
of plexiglass, is based on an Arduino Mega 2560 board, gas sensors, combined
sensor for determining temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure, sensor
for determining light intensity, also contains ventilation fan, LED matrix and
servomotors for natural ventilation. Monitoring and controlling microclimate
parameters not only improve animal health and productivity, but also contributes
to the prevention of environmental and safety risks. The sensors and automated
mechanisms integrated into this model provide an efficient and practical model
for modern animal farm management, thus ensuring a healthy and safe
environment.
