Feedlot Weather Station
Heat Stress Management for Livestock. Access and monitor anywhere anytime. The Pacific Data Systems Australia Feedlot Weather Station with Heat Load and Accumulated Heat Load monitoring assesses and informs producers on the real-time heat stress conditions experienced by livestock. This results in better operational practices and greater returns for feedlot operators.
Description
Heat Stress Management for Livestock. Access and monitor anywhere anytime. The Pacific Data Systems Australia Feedlot Weather Station with Heat Load and Accumulated Heat Load monitoring assesses and informs producers on the real-time heat stress conditions experienced by livestock. This results in better operational practices and greater returns for feedlot operators.
The Heat Load Indexes are drawn from algorithms developed by the Meat and Livestock Association (MLA). Pacific Data Systems Australia is an MLA approved manufacturer and your heat load data can be shared and hosted with the industry via the industry-funded Cattle Heat Load Toolbox: www.chlt.com.au/weather.
Moreover, being forewarned and knowing when to implement effective heat stress management programs, is crucial to productive livestock industry. The Pacific Data Systems Australia Feedlot Weather Station addresses these concerns. By monitoring relative humidity, wind speed and black globe temperature, the Feedlot Weather Station informs feedlot operators of the real-time heat stress conditions experienced by livestock, which in turn, provides an accurate assessment of what effective heat stress management programs may be taken. The system has been engineered and manufactured in Australia using custom-developed sensors and existing instrumentation.
