Poultry Monitoring Solution for Altaleb Farms

The challenge

‍

Altaleb Farms, managing diverse livestock including chickens, cows, and fish, faced recurring issues caused by unsuitable environmental conditions in their facilities. Without real-time monitoring, it was difficult to maintain the necessary air and water quality standards—resulting in declining animal health and productivity.

‍

Key pain points

‍

• Environmental factors like temperature, humidity, CO₂, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) were unmonitored.
• Fish pond conditions, particularly ammonium ion levels, lacked oversight.
• Health and growth of animals were impacted due to unregulated living environments.

The solution

‍

LTS deployed a fully integrated Poultry Monitoring Solution to enable real-time environmental monitoring across Altaleb Farms, using LoRaWAN technology for long-range, low-power communication.

‍

Key features included:

• Battery-powered sensors to monitor
  • Chicken Poultry: Temperature, humidity, CO₂, ammonia, and H₂S
  • Fish Ponds: Ammonium ion levels
• Up to 10-year battery life, based on data transmission frequency
• Wireless connectivity using LoRaWAN, ideal for large farming areas without reliable power infrastructure
• Real-time alerts and environmental dashboards to help staff take quick corrective actions
