2016 journal article

Development of MOS sensor-based NH3 monitor for use in poultry houses

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 127, 708–715.

By: T. Lin n, S. Shah n , L. Wang-Li  n, E. Oviedo-Rondón n  & J. Post n

Contributors: T. Lin n, S. Shah n , L. Wang-Li  n, E. Oviedo-Rondón n  & J. Post n

author keywords: Gas sensor; Low cost; Humidity compensation; Electrochemical sensor; Acid scrubber
TL;DR: A monitor for measuring ammonia in poultry houses was developed using a metal oxide semiconductor sensor that was more accurate than the electrochemical sensor and required less frequent purging and has the potential to be used to control ventilation rates as a component of precision livestock farming to improve poultry performance and welfare.
