Abstract: The main aim of our project is to protect the crops from damage caused by animal as well as divert the
animal without any harm.Animal detection system is designed to detect the presence of animal and offer a warning. In
this project we used PIR and ultrasonic sensors to detect the movement of the animal and send signal to the controller
.It diverts the animal by producing sound and signal further, this signal is transmitted to GSM and which gives an alert
to farmers and forest department immediately.
Keywords: PIC 16F877A, PIR sensor, ultrasonic sensor, APR board.

II. RELATED WORK
Traditional electric fence has been helpful as a guard of
crops. However, that system has some problems such as it
cannot notify the voltage which occasionally drops.
Furthermore, the owners of the fence have to check the
voltage but they cannot know it without going there .An
electric fence management system we develop uses
wireless communication, and it enables the owners to
know the voltage and the state of the electric fence and
monitor it from remote locations safely. It describes a
demonstrative experiment in a mountainous region, and
suggests an approach to resolve some problems. An

temperature, such as a human, passes in front of an
infrared source with another temperature, such as a
wall.PIR sensor detects a human being moving around
within approximately 10m from the sensor. This is an
average value, as the actual detection range is between 5m
and 12m Power is usually up to 5V .
LIGHT DEPENDENT RESISTORS:An LDR or light
dependent resistor is also known as photo resistor,
photocell, photoconductor.It is a one type of resistor
whose resistance varies depending on the amount of light
falling on its surface.When the light falls on the resistor,
then the resistance changes. These resistors are often used
in many circuits where it is required to sense the presence
of light. These resistors have a variety of functions and
resistance. For instance, when the LDR is in darkness,

issue we have designed a system in which sound is played
and by using LDR it detects light intensity, if it is less, it
will focus the light. So that wild animals will not enter into
the farm. It will run away. GSM module sends message to
the farmer to alert him. From this it is concluded that the
design system is very useful and affordable to the farmer.
The design system will not be dangerous to animal and
human being, and it protects farm.
FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
In the future, there will be very large scope, this project
can be made based on wireless networks. Wireless sensor
network and sensors of different types are used to collect
the information of crop conditions and environmental
changes and these information is transmitted through
network to the farmer that initiates corrective actions.
Farmers are connected and aware of the conditions of the
agricultural field at anytime and anywhere in the world.
