Abstract
In Thailand, the Bandicota indica is one of livestock with a market demand for consumption, as it can be used to make a variety of dishes and has good taste [1]. Nowadays, farmers have started to raise more and more people, resulting in an idea to develop a farming system that is efficient and yields the most value. This research aims 1) to develop prototype of a temperature control system in Bandicota indica stall with Internet of Things technology and 2) to compare the compare growth of Bandicota indica between using a temperature control system and traditional systems. Samplings were 30 Bandicota indica at age of 2 months which divided to 15 male and 15 female by raising according to sex, 5 Bandicota indica per stall (separate genders), totaling 6 stalls. The instruments used in the experiment were two stalls equipped with a temperature control system prototype (Type 1 and 2) and a one stall that was not equipped with a temperature control system prototype (Type 3). The Bandicota indica s' growth data were analyzed by comparing the differences in growth rates in the 3 Types: body weight (Kilograms), body length (Centimeters) and analyze production costs and returns. The results showed that 1) the temperature control system prototype consisted of temperature and humidity sensor and the ventilation fan uses the Sonoff th 16 Sensor DS18B20 device to monitor the temperature to be between 26-30 °C and control the opening of the ventilation fan when the temperature exceeds the set value through the application eWeLink. And 2) The growth rate of Bandicota indica in Type 1 of both sexes was higher than that of Bandicota indica in Type 2 and 3 up to 2 times.
