It has been proven that in broiler production, high ammonia concentration results in higher feed consumption ratio (FCR), lower weight gain, and poorer animal welfare. In fact, studies* have shown that ammonia concentrations as low as 25 ppm can reduce bird weights at 28 days of age by 2-7% while 50 ppm ammonia has been shown to reduce bird weights from 16-19%.
Research** shows that an increased ammonia (NH3) concentration can cut profits by $3,000 or more per batch in a livestock house with 25,000 broilers.
Early action benefits animal welfare and financial yield
High FCR, low gain, and poor animal welfare are factors that all have a major impact on the financial yield of the production. By taking early action, the welfare and productivity of the broilers will increase. Thus, it is highly beneficial to continuously monitor ammonia levels in the livestock house.
An award-winning ammonia sensor specially designed for livestock houses
DOL 53 is an award-winning ammonia sensor specifically designed for continuous measurement of ammonia (NH3) concentration in livestock houses and other harsh environments.
The sensor measures the ammonia level in both low and high concentration and has a negligible cross sensitivity to other gasses, which means that it is highly accurate and realiable.
