Poultry Farming background
Poultry farming refers to the practice of artificially raising various poultry (such as chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, etc.) to obtain meat, eggs, feathers and other products.Therefore,environmental monitoring plays an important role in poultry farming.
By monitoring environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, CO2, etc., the growth environment of poultry can be improved and their healthy growth can be promoted. At the same time, the purpose of preventing diseases, improving feed conversion rate, ensuring food safety, and saving energy and reducing emissions can be achieved.
Poultry Farming Environmental Monitoring System
According to different environmental monitoring solutions for different poultry breeding, real-time monitoring of breeding environment parameters: temperature, humidity, light, CO2, NH3, H2S, etc. Control the operation of system equipment through relays (such as ventilation equipment, heating equipment, lighting equipment, etc.), and at the same time transmit the collected data to the back-end monitoring system through RS485, or upload the data to the cloud platform through the wireless acquisition module to achieve remote real-time management and monitoring . The entire intelligent breeding monitoring system not only realizes digital and information-based continuous monitoring and automatic alarming of poultry breeding, but also allows farmers to understand changes in the breeding environment online in real time. At the same time, unattended intelligent breeding management is realized, reducing management workload, saving maintenance costs, and significantly increasing breeding output.
Poultry farming environmental monitoring indicators
1. Temperature: Suitable temperature is conducive to the normal growth and development of poultry. If the temperature is too high, poultry will experience heat stress, such as rapid breathing, decreased feed intake, slow growth, etc., which may lead to death in severe cases; if the temperature is too low, it will affect the growth rate and reduce the feed conversion rate.
2. Humidity: Humidity has an important impact on the perceived temperature and respiratory health of poultry. Excessive humidity can easily breed bacteria, mold and parasites, causing respiratory and skin diseases in poultry. Excessive humidity will make it difficult for poultry to dissipate heat and aggravate heat stress.
3. CO2: High concentrations of carbon dioxide will cause hypoxia in the breeding environment, causing poultry to become listless and eat less. Long-term exposure to this environment will affect the growth and health of poultry.
4. NH3: Ammonia mainly comes from the decomposition of nitrogen-containing organic matter in poultry feces and urine. When poultry is in a high-concentration ammonia environment for a long time, ammonia will irritate the respiratory mucosa of poultry, cause respiratory diseases, and reduce the resistance of poultry. At the same time, ammonia will combine with moisture on the respiratory mucosa to form alkaline substances, which will damage the mucosal cilia and affect the normal defense function of the respiratory tract.
4. H2S: H2S mainly comes from the decomposition of sulfur-containing substances in poultry excrement and feed. Low concentrations of H2S will cause poultry to breathe rapidly and become weak and sick; high concentrations of H2S will cause poisoning symptoms such as difficulty breathing, nervous disorders, movement disorders, and even suffocation and death. Long-term exposure to H2S environment will slow the growth rate of poultry and reduce production performance.
