Microcontroller Based Automatic Thermal Control Mechanism in Small Scale Poultry Farm
Abstract: Improvements to poultry housing systems need to focus on providing an environment that satisfies the bird’s thermal requirements in brooding and rearing duration. Newly hatched birds have a poor ability to control body temperature, and require some form of supplementary heating, particularly in the first few days after hatch, particularly in too cold and too hot weather. This paper presents the design of automatic thermal control mechanism in small-scale poultry …

Assessment of Acoustic Noise Generated from Machines in a Mechanical Workshop Using 1-Octave Band Frequency Analysis
Abstract: Acoustic noise is one of the prominent occupational health hazards, particularly in manufacturing and process industries. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause noise induced hearing loss of the exposed personnel. Limiting the exposure to noise intensity within its permissible exposure limit is adopted as one of the administrative control measures to reduce the risk of hearing loss. However, frequency specific assessment of occupational noise exposure is limited. Here, we …
