| Summary: | The measurement system for polluting gases in poultry farming is a social innovation project, developed in small self-sustaining farms with vulnerable units. This will be able to alert the population when animals are endangered by pollutant gases produced such as ammonia. These gases can contaminate the meat of the animal until causing its death, generating economic losses in the farm and putting in risk the health, since the meat is for human consumption in these communities. The project consists of a low-cost controller board, connected to an ammonia gas cable and sensor circuit, which will emit levels, which, upon detecting danger, will send a schedule applied to the controller that issues an alert to take measures such as changing the bird's beds or ventilate the place so that the animal does not suffer. With the measurement system we will prevent the transmission of diseases, these mortal risks of the animal to the population or consumer of the product, also provide a way to automate and include new technologies in their small farms at low cost. |
