AGE-VENT Control Unit

Ventilation control is a crucial factor in poultry farming affecting the outcome and economics of the operation. Therefore, AGE s.r.o. has developed its own line of ventilation control units, AGE-VENT, which, in combination with other high-quality components of the ventilation system such as ventilation flaps, chimneys, and large-diameter fans, form a well-functioning whole.

The AGE-VENT control unit was developed by AGE specifically for the purpose of controlling the microclimate and maintaining its optimal values in poultry and pig stables.

The ideal design of the unit allows for very easy operation. The operator simply adjusts the microclimate properties, such as temperature, air humidity, and CO2 content. The unit then autonomously determines the optimal way to achieve the desired microclimate properties under specific stable conditions. It optimally and in real-time responds to changes in factors affecting the microclimate. The adaptive features of the unit analyze the changes made and continuously adapt to the current situation. The unit can be controlled via a touchscreen display, computer, mobile phone, or tablet.

The unit controls and corrects ventilation, feeding, watering, animal weighing, and lighting.

Ventilation

Ventilation control is preset for the entire cycle. Therefore, the operator does not need to intervene in the ventilation control, which eliminates human error. However, the operator has the option of making fine adjustments to the desired climate in the stable. The control unit itself evaluates and adaptively adjusts the ventilation depending on the climate values (internal and external temperature, CO2, internal and external humidity, dew point, and others).

Feeding

Multiple feeding modes are available (timed feeding, timed dosing, manual dosing, adaptive mixing of feed mixtures). The system allows feeding to be dosed based on load cell weighing or pulse measurement, or considering the remaining feed in the silo.

Animal Weighing

Two independent weighings and four hanging scales. The ability to continuously monitor deviations from the growth curve and daily weight gain. Adjustment of the feed mixture mixing depending on the weight of the animals and deviation from the curve.

Watering and Lighting

Time restriction of water control and monitoring of water consumption. Control of both continuous and relay lighting. The possibility of adjusting the target temperature depending on the lighting of the stable.
