Chicken Egg Hatching Optimization with Automatic Control Using Fuzzy Logic

Egg hatching is an important process in the livestock industry to produce quality poultry seedlings. In the hatching process environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity must be carefully regulated to ensure optimal hatching. In an effort to improve the efficiency and accuracy of hatching, this research introduces an egg hatching machine tool that adopts a fuzzy logic approach. The developed machine tool is equipped with temperature and humidity sensors that measure the environmental conditions inside the egg incubator in real-time. The data obtained from the sensors are used as inputs for a fuzzy logic-based control system that regulates the temperature and humidity of the incubator. The hatching machine is built keeping in mind the ideal conditions between 35° - 40° with 70% - 80% humidity. Fuzzy logic allows the system to handle uncertainty and ambiguity in temperature and humidity settings. Based on the fuzzy rules set, the system can adaptively adjust the environmental conditions to achieve optimal conditions for hatching eggs.
