Description
To ensure that livestock housing environments meet air-quality requirements without over-ventilation, which burdens growers with unnecessarily high energy costs, Intelligent Optical Systems (IOS) is developing an optical-based ammonia sensor module for enclosed livestock housing air monitoring (Air-Sense). The proposed platform, building on our prior successful sensor development, will cost-effectively match ventilation with ammonia levels. This work will also contribute to a stronger understanding of livestock housing environments that will enable the development of additional gas sensing capabilities.
