Development of electronic controlled creeping heat device for poultry

Thesis (Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering) -- University of Rizal System-Morong.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Electronic Controlled Creeping Heat Device for Poultry is very useful for the poultry raisers, in such a way that there is no need to perform the traditional method the chickens. All they need to do is to set the device to the proper temperature needed by the chicks every week if the temperature is too cold or hot. The study used developmental and experimental research design which are applied in the construction of "Electronic Controlled Creeping Heat Device for Poultry". The testing of effectiveness of the device was based on the evaluation made by the proponents. The proponents tested the effectiveness of the device by using a record sheet and a line graph. The electronic controlled creeping heat device for poultry was constructed and developed out of locally available materials. It was tested for operation where different troubles were observed. Testing and revision were made before the project reached its functional output and attained the projects objectives. In terms of Weight Rate Related to Temperature, it showed that the first week of experimentation got a percentage difference of 7.69% which has a response effective, while the second week got a percentage difference of 5.88% which has a response of slightly effective, and the third week of experimentation got a percentage difference of 11.76% which has a response of effective. So, the total percentage difference in terms of weight of the chicks is 8.44% which has a response of effective. In terms of Mortality Related to Temperature, it showed that the first week, second week and third week got a percentage difference of 0%, respectively. So, there is no percentage difference between the experimental and conventional in terms of mortality.
