Abstract

The evaporative swine house of 600 pigs consisting of; feed and water, cooling, piglet lighting, wastewater filling and IOT system using modified code from open source, high-quality ESP 32 board and industrial grade sensor and Grafana as dashboards for displaying data was built to feed pigs for 5 months. Average daily gain, feed conversion rate, Lenden Speck Quotient of pigs and IOT system operation were performed. The result showed that average daily gain displayed maximum growth rate of 1,053 g/pc/day. Feed conversion rate was 2.55 and Lenden Speck Quotient of pigs were A or AA. IOT system works continuously and low price of 20,000 baht.
