In the village, there is a long-running livestock group named embong farmer group. Unfortunately the maintenance process is still simple so that the productivity of livestock is still low. When viewed from the environmental conditions, it turns out the maintenance process is still not ideal. The cattle often experience heat stress and cold stress. Based on these conditions, Smart Barn technology was formed which is able to regulate ideal conditions to increase cattle productivity. The Smart Barn that was formed was an automation technology on temperature, humidity, light intensity, and availability of drinking water. Service activities based on the application of appropriate technology are carried out with survey, program socialization, design of Smart Barn, making of Smart Barn, instalation of Smart Barn, education of use Smart Barn, monitoring and evaluation. The results of the application of Smart Barn technology show that this technology can increase the appetite of Cattle. The cattle’s body weight increases, This year, cattle sales increased 10% from the previous year. The conclusion of this devotion is the technology, named Smart Barn, can be applied to the barn of embong farmer groups in Jono, Temayang, Bojonegoro, East Java.
