DOL 114 Humidity and Temperature Sensor

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

According to a study*, livestock houses must provide favourable environmental conditions to ensure animal health and welfare. The study states that advanced management systems and effective control methods are needed to achieve the best indoor conditions.

The DOL 114 Humidity and Temperature Sensor is a highly accurate sensor for simultaneous measurement of relative humidity and temperature. It is designed and built for livestock houses, but is also well suited to several industrial applications. It has the same excellent features as the DOL 104 Digital Humidity Sensor.

By monitoring humidity and temperature, DOL 114 optimizes breathing air and prevents mould formation.

Temperature has a major impact on animal welfare

Temperature is undoubtedly the most important parameter to monitor for optimal livestock-production conditions.

If temperatures are too high, feed intake falls, reducing weight gain and imposing significant costs on producers. Animals may suffer and mortality may increase, adding further costs from high temperatures.

Benefits

DOL 114 can prevent ammonia formation

High humidity in poultry production can cause ammonia formation, seriously affecting animal welfare, mortality and FCR. You can read more about ammonia in poultry production in this article on poultry ammonia sensors.

With its built-in filter and sensing element, DOL 114 is well suited to 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 ammonia levels in poultry houses. Read more about the DOL 53 Ammonia Sensor and its benefits here.
