ABSTRACT Balagtas, Ira C., Torres, Kyla Mae I. Department of Computer Studies and Automation - College of Engineering and Computer Studies, Pampanga State Agricultural University, Magalang, Pampanga. June 2022. "DEVELOPMENT OF SMART EGG INCUBATOR WITH GENDER MANAGEMENT USING ARDUINO". Adviser: Prof. Jomar S. Baricante This study describes a smart egg incubator using an Arduino Uno with gender management that is interactive and user-friendly for poultry farmers. Our Smart Egg Incubator is extremely safe, dependable, and straightforward in design. A quantitative method was used in the study, in which survey questionnaires were used to determine the system's performance. Moreover, purposive sampling was utilized, wherein a certain number of the respondents were selected. With the help of different research instruments, including survey questionnaires and internet research, in gathering information, the study was fully completed. The system was evaluated, and the survey was conducted online and paper survey with selected BSA students majoring in Animal Science, a backyard hatchery raiser, and an IT expert from Pampanga State Agricultural University's College of Engineering and Computer Studies as respondents. The system's performance was determined and measured using the arithmetic mean formula. The selected respondents from the locale who evaluated the system using the questionnaires strongly agreed that the system is truly helpful, easy to use, and reliable. Based on the results, the system was determined to be useful in incubating eggs. According to the statistical analysis, fancy chickens have more males than females, whereas native chickens have more females than males. As a result, I conclude that there is no statistically significant difference in temperature but a highly significant difference in strain, because each strain has special genes that may generate more males than females. Some of those genes, on the other hand, can generate more female than male.
