Automated Dairy Barn Microclimate Control & Cow Comfort System.


Overview:
The Automated Dairy Barn Microclimate Control & Cow Comfort System is an innovative project designed to maintain an optimal environment for dairy cows by monitoring and controlling temperature and humidity levels. The system is based on Arduino Uno, which processes sensor data and automatically activates cooling or ventilation systems to ensure cow comfort in real time.

At the initial stage, the system displays a startup message “Dairy Barn System Ready” on the LCD screen for a few seconds. After that, the DHT sensor continuously measures temperature and humidity inside the barn. When the temperature or humidity exceeds predefined threshold levels, the system automatically activates devices such as fans or cooling systems through relays.

The current temperature, humidity, and system status are displayed on the LCD screen. Additionally, a buzzer and LEDs provide alerts when the environment becomes unsuitable for the cows.

This system provides a low-cost and efficient solution for smart dairy farming, improving animal comfort, health, and productivity without human intervention.
