What sensors are needed for pig farms?

Illumination detector

Light intensity and light time are controlled by light transmission. Extending the light time or increasing the light intensity can enhance the adrenal cortex function of pigs, improve immunity, stimulate appetite, enhance the digestive function of piglets, and improve the weight gain rate and survival rate of piglets.

Carbon dioxide sensor

The concentration of carbon dioxide is also important for the growth of pigs. The excessive carbon dioxide content in the pig farm will cause the pig to be starved of oxygen for a long time, making it weak and susceptible to various chronic infectious diseases. Carbon dioxide detector with digital display function, you can visually see the concentration of carbon dioxide in the house.

Ammonia sensor

Ammonia content is very important for the growth of pigs. Ammonia is one of the most harmful gases in pig houses. Ammonia concentration will directly affect the growth and development of pigs and antiviral ability. General ammonia sensors are equipped with a buzzer alarm device. When the ammonia concentration exceeds the standard, the buzzer will alarm to remind the farm management staff to adjust the ammonia concentration.

Temperature and humidity sensors

Temperature and humidity sensors are the most used sensors in the agricultural Internet of Things, and most agricultural environmental monitoring systems require temperature and humidity sensors. The temperature and humidity sensor can accurately measure the temperature and humidity in the pig house. According to the requirements of the temperature and humidity of the pig house, when the temperature and humidity of the pig house is too high or too low, timely start the temperature and humidity cooling, dehumidification or heating, increase the humidity, and ensure that the temperature and humidity in the pig house is reasonable.

Particle sensor

The concentration of dust in pig farms cannot be ignored. High concentration of inhalable dust will affect the health of pigs and breeding pigs. When cleaning the pig house and mixing feed, the concentration of dust particles in the pig house may exceed the standard. Therefore, dust particle sensors must be used to monitor dust concentrations in the farm environment in real time. Once the limit is exceeded, the air purification system will begin to purify the air.
