Analysis of Income and Internet of Things Integration in Broiler Chicken Farms (Study in Mangkurawang Village, Tenggarong District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency)

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) concept in animal husbandry can produce an effective and efficient monitoring system and can reduce chicken mortality rates and production costs to increase income and management efficiency of broiler chicken rearing. This research aims to find out how much revenue and income the IoT-based broiler chicken farming business has and analyze the R/C Ratio whether this livestock business is efficient or not to continue running. The research was carried out from November 2022 to December 2022 in one of the breeder pens in partnership with the Mutiara Sinar Abadi company in Mangkurawang Village, Tenggarong District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency.  This research uses a case study method and sampling is carried out using a purposive sampling method.  The research results show that (1) the total income obtained by livestock businesses during the two periods was IDR 358,678,199 the average income was IDR 179,339,100/period and the total amount of income obtained was IDR 43,243,486 with an average income of IDR 21. 621,743/period; (2) the results of the calculation of livestock business efficiency analysis using the R/C Ratio obtained a value of 1.14, which means that IoT-based livestock businesses are efficient and feasible to develop and show that the income generated is higher than the related production costs, implying that the business being run is profitable; and (3) the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in broiler chicken cages is an effort to increase production efficiency in increasing food availability. It is hoped that production will be higher thanks to IoT technology and can increase the supply of chicken meat in the local market.
