Misting activation
Livestock health and productivity are significantly impacted by heat stress, which can reduce milk production by up to 30% and lead to losses of $1.5 billion annually in the dairy industry alone. Managing this challenge requires accurate monitoring of environmental conditions to ensure timely intervention. The THSens IoT device addresses this issue by measuring air temperature and humidity to calculate the Temperature Humidity Index (THI), a key indicator of heat stress in livestock. When the THI exceeds a critical threshold, the system automatically alerts producers to activate misting or other cooling measures, preventing stress and maintaining animal welfare. By providing real-time, actionable insights, THSens empowers farmers to mitigate the effects of heat stress, ensuring healthier livestock, consistent productivity, and optimized resource use.
BEFORE
It is well known that heat stress experienced by dairy cattle has direct negative consequences on the health and well-being of the livestock.
These are all reasons to quickly identify the symptoms of heat stress and to act immediately. In this, sensors play a decisive role today.
AFTER
The THI (Temperature Humidity Index) is a tool used to assess heat stress by taking into account both the temperature and humidity of the air, measured by a connected sensor. When this index exceeds a certain threshold, the producer receives an alert telling him to trigger misting.
