Animal husbandry has always been a major project in agricultural production, but breeding is often affected by many factors, such as the growth environment, epidemic diseases, breeding varieties and management level, so the development of aquaculture in China has been slow. Nowadays, with the advancement of gas detection technology and Internet of Things technology, scientific breeding has become one of the emerging directions and an important driving factor for the breeding industry. Some toxic and harmful gases are produced in livestock farms, which may have adverse effects on the growth and health of livestock and poultry, the air quality of the farm and the surrounding environment.

       The gases easily produced in the process of animal husbandry mainly include ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, methane and other volatile organic compounds. These gases not only cause pollution to the environment, but also directly affect animal health, human health and food safety. In this context, smart farming came into being, which deeply integrates modern information technology,Internet of ThingsBig data analysis, artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies have intelligently transformed and upgraded the traditional animal husbandry model.

The core essence of intelligent farming is to build a decision support system with data as the core to realize the refinement, automation and intelligence of farming management. Among them, the gas sensor as a key component, plays a vital role. These sensors can accurately monitor the concentration of various gases in the breeding environment, providing real-time and accurate data support for environmental control, disease prevention, and production optimization.

Typical products and application cases

Animal husbandry environment monitoring, monitoring gas: ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, carbon monoxide, etc.

       Animal husbandry environment monitoringImportance

Real-time monitoring of the gas concentration in the livestock house, when the concentration exceeds the set value, an alarm is issued, and ventilation or exhaust measures are taken in time to prevent the animals from getting sick or dying due to the high concentration of harmful gases. Here, the following sensors are recommend for application in livestock gas monitoring.
