Indoor Climate and Air Quality Control in Intelligent Livestock Farming
A major goal of intelligent livestock farming(ILF)is to provide an optimal thermal climate and air quality in the animal occupant zones for promoting animal production and wellbeing,and the same time to reduce gases and dust emission from using system to mitigate the environmental impact.For optimal climate control,smart climate models that can reflect the needs of different animal species and ages or feasible sensor techniques that can measure animal perceived(felt)thermal environment are essential.Ideally,such a model or sensor should be able to identify the perceived thermal environments by integrating all the effects of air temperature,humidity,air speed(including turbulence)and thermal radiation on animal thermal comfort/wellbeing,and consequently,animal productions.In this context,smart design and control of ventilation is crucial.Similarly,such a smart design and control is important for indoor air quality and housing emission control.In this paper,a design principle of such a sensor and methods for the modelling,defined as effective/equivalent perceived temperature for different farm animals are presented and discussed;varied ventilation design and control techniques are reviewed and discussed;and remained challenges are addressed.
