Implementation of a Deep Litter-Based Chicken Cage System and Internet of Things (IoT) Monitoring in RW 2, Sumampir Village

Abstract

Organic waste generated from household activities in RW 2, Sumampir Village, Purwokerto, is relatively high. However, its utilization is still limited. This condition requires appropriate technology to support organic waste management based on the circular economy concept through the integration of a deep litter laying hen coop and IoT. This community service program aimed to implement a deep litter laying hen coop equipped with an IoT-based monitoring system. The implementation method consisted of several stages, including community socialization, coop construction, IoT installation, training, and community assistance. The socialization activities were conducted in two stages. The first stage introduced the concept of community-based organic waste utilization, while the second stage focused on the implementation of the deep litter coop system. The chicken coop was successfully completed on May 23, 2026, while the IoT system, consisting of temperature, humidity, and water level sensors with Telegram-based notifications, was installed on May 29, 2026. The laying hens were introduced in early June 2026 as the initial operational stage before the gradual implementation of household organic waste utilization. The community considered that the developed coop model has the potential to support household organic waste management, improve family food security, and serve as a pilot project for the implementation of IoT-based appropriate technology at the community level.
