Paper Details

The growing need for poultry products by consumers has urged the necessity for small and medium scalepoultry farmers to meet up the demand since they supply the bulk need of the market especially in the developingcountries. There exist the need to produce birds that will meet the market standards within the shortest time withoutstraining the farmer’s time, resources and energy. In this project work an effort made to develop a labor/time savingautomatically operated automatic feeder that will optimize feeding of birds. There exists many automated equipment’s tofeed birds in large scale poultries. But it is difficult or not possible to include large scale equipment’s in small mediumscale poultries. Normally small and medium scale poultries are run by farmers of rural areas. In small scale and mediumscale poultries birds are fed with the feeder which requires frequent refilling of food. This consumes more labor and timeincreasing expenditure for farmers. With a view to facilitate easy and efficient feeding of food to chickens in small andmedium scale poultries, it was proposed to design and fabricate an automatically operated poultry feeder.
