Henlytics measures ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), temperature and humidity continuously at bird level and sends an alert to your phone when a house goes out of range. The ammonia you can smell at the door is not the ammonia the birds breathe at the litter, and only a fixed sensor sees the night shift.
Air quality in a closed house changes by the hour. A hand reading tells you what the house was like while you stood in it.
Minimum ventilation at night and in cold weather is exactly when ammonia builds up, and it is also when nobody takes a reading.
A fixed detector logs the whole night, so the morning report shows how long the house sat above your limit, not just where it ended up.
People adapt to ammonia quickly, so a house that smelled strong on entry smells acceptable a few minutes later.
A number on a screen does not adapt. It also settles arguments between the day shift and the night shift about what the house was like.
EU Council Directive 2007/43/EC, for example, requires ammonia below 20 ppm and CO2 below 3000 ppm measured at the level of the chickens' heads for higher stocking densities.
Whatever standard your integrator or buyer applies, meeting it means measuring where the birds are and keeping the record.
CO2 rises with every bird breathing and every gas heater burning, so it is the most direct measure of whether minimum ventilation is enough.
During brooding, when houses are kept closed and heated, it is the reading that tells you when to trade a little heat for fresh air.
Wet litter releases more ammonia, and litter gets wet when humidity stays high, so the four readings belong on one chart.
Seeing humidity climb for two days before ammonia follows is what turns an alarm into something you can prevent next time.
The ammonia and CO2 detectors mount on the wall with their sensing heads at bird level, alongside a temperature and humidity probe.
Sensors wire to a Genesis controller on the wall, which reads them and sends the readings over the cellular network.
Set a high and low limit for each reading. Brooding and grow-out can run different limits.
When a reading crosses a limit, your phone gets an alert, repeated until someone on the farm acknowledges it.
Industrial instruments with their own display, so the reading is visible in the house as well as on the phone.
Fixed ammonia detector with a remote sensing head, a backlit display and two alarm relays.
The same detector body with a CO2 sensing cell, for ventilation and brooding.
A digital probe in a choice of housings, including sealed and sintered-metal versions for dusty houses.
At bird level, away from the air inlets and away from the fans, so it reads the air the birds breathe rather than fresh incoming air. In a long tunnel house, a second detector toward the fan end shows how the air changes along the house.
No. Henlytics runs alongside the controller you already have. The controller keeps running fans, heaters and inlets; Henlytics measures the air independently, keeps the history, and alerts your phone.
Yes. The GF-201 has two alarm relays with configurable levels, so it can drive a local siren or light directly, in addition to the phone alert.
You set it per house. Many farms work to the limit in their welfare standard or integrator contract; EU Council Directive 2007/43/EC, for example, uses 20 ppm at bird level for higher stocking densities. Setting the alert a little below your limit gives the team time to act.
No. The controller sends readings over the cellular network, so a house far from the office or without any network still reports.
