Temperature and humidity sensor DOL 114 (140254)

DOL 114 Humidity and Temperature Sensor

The DOL 114 humidity and temperature sensor is a high-precision sensor for measuring both relative humidity and temperature simultaneously.

Benefits:

-High-precision 2-in-1 sensor;

-Avoid extreme temperature swings in the barns, keeping a more consistent environment;

-Avoid livestock stress and poor production;

-Prevent ammonia and mold formation.

DOL 114 is a robust and accurate 2-in-1 sensor for livestock houses

According to a study*, livestock housing must provide favorable environmental conditions to ensure animal health and welfare. The study states that to reach the best environmental conditions inside a building, it is necessary to apply advanced control systems and effective control techniques.

The DOL 114 humidity and temperature sensor is a high-precision sensor for measuring both relative humidity and temperature simultaneously. It is engineered and built for livestock houses but is also well suited for several industrial applications. The sensor has the same excellent properties as the DOL 104 digital humidity sensor.

By monitoring both humidity and temperature, the DOL 114 ensures that the air is optimized for breathing and the formation of mold is avoided.

Temperature Has a Huge Effect on Animal Welfare

Temperature is without question the single most important parameter to monitor when it comes to optimum conditions in livestock production.

If the temperature is too high, feed consumption drops which causes decreased weight gain, a very costly effect to producers. Animals can suffer and may increase mortality rates, another very costly aspect of high temperatures.

If the temperature is too low, most of the feed intake will go to keeping the animals warm instead of growth rates, which leads to production loss.

DOL 114 Can Prevent Ammonia Formation

High humidity levels in poultry production can lead to formation of ammonia which has severe impact on animal welfare, mortality rate, and FCR. You can read more about ammonia in poultry in this article on Ammonia Sensor Poultry here.

Due to the built-in filter and the sensor element makes DOL 114 very suitable for application in environments with constantly high humidity. A protective cap is available for DOL 114, eliminating the need to remove the sensor when cleaning the livestock house.

You can use the award-winning DOL 53 Ammonia Sensor, to measure the level of ammonia in poultry. Read more about the DOL 53 ammonia sensor and its benefits and advantages here.
