When we put the chicken farm and the ammonia sensor together, everyone may be surprised. The two seem to be irrelevant. Let's listen to the editor to give you a detailed explanation.

Our concept of chicken farms is still dirty, messy, bad, and smelly. There will always be an unpleasant smell in the chicken farm. It will be asphyxiated in less than 30 seconds after entering the chicken farm. Come, this is definitely not an exaggeration. The smell is different from the smell of other livestock farms. The smell is more pungent and very irritating. In fact, the main component of this odor is ammonia.

Ammonia can be regarded as an old friend in the chicken farm. The manure and urine of the chickens that have not been removed, the sewage in the chicken farm, the leftover feed residue from the chicken farm, the gas breathed out by the chickens, the secretions of the chickens and the dead chickens that have not been cleaned, plus In poorly ventilated chicken houses, various reasons cause these things to ferment in the chicken house and produce a foul smell. This foul smell not only stimulates the human olfactory nerve, it also has greater harm. When the foul smell containing high concentration of ammonia gas is put into the air, it will seriously affect the environmental quality of the air. And the most direct victim of this smell is the live chickens left in the chicken farm. Here we will talk about the impact of ammonia on chickens.

Ammonia can enter the chicken body through the respiratory tract and affect the health of the chicken’s internal organs. Ammonia can also adhere to the surface of the chicken, such as on the chicken’s eyes, and stimulate the internal and external nerves of the chicken, causing malnutrition, decreased appetite, and flow. Tears, etc., chickens with severe ammonia poisoning will also experience a vicious cycle of death.

Therefore, ammonia in chicken farms is definitely the number one natural enemy of farmers. Some farmers will choose to install a fixed ammonia sensor in the chicken farm. This approach is correct. We can only make a correct judgment if we have a real-time grasp of the ammonia concentration in the farm. When the ammonia concentration exceeds the standard, we can also rush to the scene to deal with it in time through the alarm information sent by the fixed ammonia detector, such as opening windows for ventilation.

Large-scale chicken farms have a large factory area. Managers are required to be responsible for all kinds of safety in the chicken farm. And we can also use the ammonia sensor to detect nitrogen at a key location. Then take more targeted measures to prevent the detected results. In fact, our goal is to eliminate the ammonia in the chicken farm, so that the chicken farm has no odor, which is more conducive to the health of chickens and farmers.

The picture you've supplied is not that of a chicken farm. It is that of a chicken torture factory. I found not a single reference in the text about the well being of the birds, just the humans that did that to them so they could harvest eggs.

THIS is a "chicken farm" where the health and happiness of the birds is the number one concern.

You will find that the vast number of people here at BYC disagree with the practices in factory chicken keeping.
You want to eliminate ammonia in the chicken farm? Don't cram birds in tiny battery cages and violently overpopulate their living quarters.
 
This whole post sounds like an ad for ammonia sensors. I can't think of a single backyard chicken keeper who would need one. If chickens are kept in proper living situations with regular coop cleaning and maintenance, sufficient space, etc, ammonia isn't even a concern.

No ammonia sensor needed.

Chicken torture egg facilities should be destroyed. No need for any sensor if they don’t exist.
 
I agree with previous commenters. Chickens shouldn’t be kept crammed in to small spaces. With proper living conditions you don’t need a sensor. Don’t be cruel and there won’t be a problem!
