Water is often called the "forgotten nutrient", yet it's one of the most sensitive indicators of pig health. Changes in water consumption often appear 24-48 hours before visible symptoms of illness, stress, or feed and water system problems, making it a powerful early-warning tool.

What Abnormal Water Patterns Can Reveal

• Reduced intake may signal fever, feed issues, or water system blockages
• Sudden spikes can indicate leaks or behavioral stress
• Individual pen deviations highlight localized problems

Benefits of Automated Water Monitoring

Immediate Detection of System Failures

Automated alerts flag sudden drops or spikes in water flot, helping staff quickly identify blockages, leaks or equipment malfunctions before they affect animal health.

Better Disease Management Through Early Intervention

Changes in water intake often appear before visible symptoms such as illness or system issues. Early detection helps farm managers respond faster, reducing the spread of illness and improving treatment outcomes.

Improved Welfare Through Consistent Water Access

Continuous monitoring ensures pigs always have access to clean, fresh water. Anu irregularities in supply or quality are identified quickly, helping maintain stable welfare conditions.

Optimized Feed Strategies

Since water and feed intake are closely linked, tracking both provides valuable insight into feeding behavior. Sudden changes can reveal feed system issues, or diet problems, enabling more precise adjustments.

In the agricultural industry, CO2 or carbon dioxide plays a vital role, since it affects the animal welfare and thus the performance of the production. This is why CO2 sensors are crucial instruments in livestock production.

CO2 sensors measure the level of carbon dioxide in the livestock house and combined with at farm controller it can help controlling the ventilation system automatically, ensuring optimum climate conditions for the animals.

Designed For Reliable CO2 Monitoring

CO2 sensors measure the level of carbon dioxide in the livestock house and combined with at farm controller it can help controlling the ventilation system automatically, ensuring optimum climate conditions for the animals.

The demand for a more sustainable food production increases every year. To live up to this, food producers must keep enhancing their production and make sure that the animals have the best living conditions possible in order to avoid mortality, enhanced FCR, and poor meat quality. This calls for accurate real-time data.

Accurate Real-time Data

Constantly monitoring the climate in livestock houses is essential to create optimal animal welfare and the most efficient production. It is no longer enought to measure the temperature, humidity, CO2, and ammonia once in a while. Climate sensors of the future provide accurate real-time data allowing for more timely and effective decision-making, when it comes to managing the production, since the farmer or farm manager get an up-to-date picture of the production.

The Importance of Accurate Data

One of the key benefits of using climate sensors in poultry houses is that they can help prevent the spread of disease. Poultry are particularly susceptible to respiratory infections, which can be exacerbated by poor air quality. By monitoring the levels of carbon dioxide, ammonia, and humidity, you can make sure that the air inside the poultry house is fresh and free from harmful gases.

In a poultry production, the temperature and humidity play an important role during the entire life of the chicken from hatchery and hatching until they are sent to slaughter. Chickens are very sensitive to temperature changes. If it is too cold, the chickens might eat more and stick together to keep warm, meaning they produce more fat than meat due to the combination of high feed consumption and low movement. A low temperature might also cause egg laying problems.

Whether the data from the climate sensors is accurate or not has a huge impact on the production. As mentioned, temperature and humidity have a great effect on the production and animal welfare which makes it vital that the measurements are accurate. Accurate data can lead to less stress on birds and thus greater productivity.
