This study developed a wireless data acquisition system to enhance rabbit farming by automating data collection and monitoring. The system integrates Near Field Communication (NFC) technology and GSM-based notifications to enable continuous tracking of individual rabbit profiles, including breed, weight, gender, date of birth, pregnancy status, mating eligibility, and food intake. Each cage is equipped with writable NFC tags that store essential rabbit information, which can be accessed and updated using an NFC-enabled device. An ESP32 microcontroller serves as the central processing unit, synchronizing data with a web-based platform that allows farmers to efficiently manage rabbit records. The system also incorporates a GSM module to send automated notifications on breeding schedules, pregnancy updates, and meat production readiness, ensuring timely decision-making. Software development utilized JavaScript for the web application and Arduino IDE for microcontroller programming. Detailed testing confirmed that NFC scanning updates profiles instantly, and GSM notifications effectively inform breeders, with minor delays observed under weak network conditions. The system was evaluated by 50 respondents, including IT specialists, breeders, and farmers, achieving high acceptability scores: 4.53 for functionality, 4.72 for durability, 4.52 for workability, and 4.45 for economic efficiency, with an overall mean of 4.44 and a descriptive rating of “Very Good/Very Acceptable.” Based on the evaluation, the study concludes that an IoT- driven approach optimizes rabbit farm management, contributing to sustainable and efficient livestock farming.
