Environment Control System for Livestock Sheds Using Fuzzy Logic Technique

Abstract

In Pakistan, 70% of the population lives in villages, where the source of income depends upon agriculture, livestock, and poultry sheds. In order to produce maximum meat, milk and other products one should have to focus on the growth of the animals. There are some crucial factors like the temperature, humidity level and suitable air flow in the shed to remove waste gasses. These factors are monitored by using Mamdani model based upon fuzzy logic technique to improve growth of animals. The main objective of this research is to design a controller and check out its simulation results to produce the most suitable results for the environment control of livestock sheds. The output parameters to control these inputs are Water sprinkler (Ws), Exhaust fan (Exf) and Auto Curtains (A.C). In this research, we focused on the Mamdani method in fuzzy logic to design fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to control the environmental parameters of a live stock shed in order to provide the most suitable conditions for the growth of animals.
