Abstract

The rabbit breeding business shows a very promising potential to be developed. The advantages of raising rabbits include economic aspects from small to large scale, where the selling value of rabbits is quite high, as well as providing opportunities for breeders to make lucrative profits. To increase the efficiency and accuracy of feeding rabbits, an Internet of Things-based automatic feeding system has been developed. Therefore, this study aims to develop a control and monitoring system for automatically feeding rabbits based on the Internet of Things to make the work of breeders easier. Feeding is made using automatic and manual methods where the process of delivering feed using rails. In the automatic method, a load cell sensor is used as a tool that calculates the weight of the feed issued, a DC motor as a regulator for the movement of the rails to each rabbit feed container using an infrared sensor as a module to stop the movement of the DC motor and a servo motor whose function is to open or close the feed outlet. Whereas the manual method for monitoring rabbit feed is using the Firebase application on a smartphone. Based on the results of the experiment, the process of giving feed to each container follows the construction that has been made. Where the weight of the feed given for one meal is 80g with the feed delivery process accommodating <1kg of feed weight.
