Humidity is an important factor for animal welfare and agricultural production. It refers to the amount of moisture or water vapor in the air. In livestock buildings, humidity must be carefully monitored and maintained within a specific range to ensure animal health and well-being. A humidity sensor is an electronic device that measures and reports the relative humidity (RH) level in an environment.

dol-sensors is a leading manufacturer of humidity sensors specially designed for the harsh conditions found in livestock houses. Our sensors are known for their accuracy, reliability, and durability.

Three Types of Humidity Sensors

We have innovated, designed, and manufactured the following three types of humidity sensors:

1. DOL 104 Humidity Sensor

The DOL 104 Humidity Sensor is a single-point sensor that measures relative humidity levels. It is easy to install and requires minimal maintenance. The DOL 104 Humidity Sensor is also compatible with most farm controllers.

2. DOL 114 Humidity and Temperature Sensor

The DOL 114 Humidity and Temperature Sensor is a dual-point sensor that measures both relative humidity and temperature. This sensor is ideal for applications where both humidity and temperature levels need to be monitored. The DOL 114 is easy to install and requires minimal maintenance.

3. DOL 139 Humidity, Temperature, and Carbon Dioxide Sensor

The DOL 139 Humidity, Temperature, and CO₂ Sensor is a three-point sensor that measures relative humidity, temperature, and carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels. This sensor is ideal for applications requiring indoor air quality monitoring, such as livestock houses, greenhouses, and other industrial environments.

Our LoRa water meter and advanced LoRa sensors provide reliable, long-range data transmission for smart metering and environmental monitoring. Built on LoRaWAN technology, these solutions are ideal for utilities, facility managers, and industrial applications that require low power consumption and secure wireless communication.

LoRa water meter for remote reading

A LoRa water meter enables accurate water consumption monitoring without manual readings. Using long-range wireless technology, the lora water meter transmits data over long distances, making it suitable for agriculture and industrial water management.

LoRa sensors for environmental data

Our portfolio of lora sensors includes solutions for air quality, temperature, and CO₂ monitoring. Devices such as a lorawan CO2 sensor help track indoor air quality, while a lora temperature sensor ensures precise temperature monitoring in buildings, warehouses, and outdoor installations.

LoRa temperature sensor – accurate and energy efficient

A lora temperature sensor is designed for long battery life and stable performance.

Farmers who specialize in livestock production need to ensure that their animals are healthy and well cared for to maximize their yields. One factor that can greatly impact livestock farming is wind direction. Studies have found that the direction of the wind can affect the temperature, humidity, and air quality in the animal housing, which in turn can impact animal health and productivity. Measuring wind direction is therefore an important aspect of livestock farming.

Wind direction can affect the climate in livestock houses

Measuring wind direction is an important aspect of managing animal housing on livestock farms.

There are multiple studies that support the claim that wind direction can affect the temperature, humidity, and air quality in animal housing. For example, a study published in the journal Biosystems Engineering found that wind direction significantly affected temperature and relative humidity in a naturally ventilated animal housing facility. The study also found that wind direction impacted the concentration of airborne pollutants in the animal housing, such as ammonia and particulate matter.

Another study published in Agronomy found that wind direction and speed affect odour dispersion outside a livestock house. The study concluded that these factors can be used to consider the location of the farm, the design of the ventilation control, and the operation method.

Why is Measuring Wind Direction Important in Livestock Farming?

Wind direction plays a crucial role in the temperature and air quality of animal housing, which can greatly affect the health and productivity of the livestock. In the summer months, for example, wind blowing from the north can help to cool down animal housing, while wind blowing from the south can increase the temperature and make it uncomfortable for the animals. Similarly, in the winter months, wind blowing from the north can make animal housing too cold, while wind blowing from the south can warm it up.

In addition to temperature, wind direction can also impact the humidity and air quality in animal housing. If the wind is blowing in the direction of the animal housing, it can carry dust, odors, and other particles from nearby fields or facilities into the housing, which can be harmful to the animals. Measuring wind direction can help farmers to take measures to prevent or mitigate these issues, such as adjusting ventilation systems, planting windbreaks, or relocating animal housing.
