Coup Temp and RH
There are three ways of heat production inside a house: heat produced by chickens, heat entering a house through the roof and walls and artificial heating.
Chickens are warm-blooded and maintain a uniform body temperature of between 40,6˚C and 41,7˚C.
It’s important to provide young chickens with an ambient temperature of 21˚C to 37˚C (depending on the production stage) and adult birds with a temperature of about 21˚C.
As hot air rises and cold air drops, thermometers measuring housing temperature must be at chicken height or knee height, and not at human eye level, because the temperature at the bottom of the house (where the chickens are) will differ from the temperature here.
Aranet T/RH IP67 sensor
The wireless sensor measures temperature and relative humidity. The IP class 67 hermetic enclosure of the sensor ensures that no excessive moisture or dust particles can alter the readings, ensuring constant and reliable data monitoring. The sensor can be placed in harsh environmental conditions and withstand excessive humidity.

CO2 and temperature
Carbon dioxide for one, emitted from wet chicken litter, has to escape the house as it moves upward.
If it stays trapped it can lead to the growth of harmful pathogens and influence the productivity of layers and growth rate of broilers.
Aranet CO2 and Temperature sensor
Aranet wireless, battery-powered carbon dioxide sensors have IP67 protection class – they can be placed in harsh environmental conditions. Sensors perform highly accurate measurements as well as they are flexible and easy to setup.
Aranet CO2 and Temperature sensor is compatible with Aranet Cloud.

Carbon Monoxide CO
CO is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and highly toxic gas produced by burning gasoline, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. The wireless and battery-powered sensor warns you as soon as CO levels begin to rise.

Ammonia
Ammonia gas in poultry houses seriously affects bird health. The gas results from the chemical decomposition of uric acid in droppings by certain bacteria in the litter, and is further influenced by moisture content, pH and litter temperature.
High levels of ammonia have a negative impact on overall livability, weight gain, feed conversion, condemnation rate at processing and the immune system of the birds.
Aranet NH₃ sensor
Wireless, battery-powered sensors for use in laboratories, livestock, poultry farms and sewage treatment plants to monitor the leakage of ammonia gas and give an alarm to protect humans and animals.
Aranet NH₃ sensor is compatible with Aranet Cloud.
