2. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
• Realization of a bidirectional system (input/output of data and commands) of remote control
and management of the farm through a dedicated software implementation and internet use.
• Possibility of creation of connection network on a national and international level.
• Real time, uniform and standard language data capture (numerical and visual) from the farm
and elaboration through dedicated software.
• Interpretation of the received data in order to know the situation of the farm regarding:
- microclimatic conditions,
- animal health (possible individuation of stress situations and/or initial pathologic phases),
- zootechnic performance.
• Immediate intervention through commands (corrective actions) transmitted by the system at
farm terminal in case of non conform parameters and eventual necessary treatments,
avoiding the classical “lost of time”.
• Possibility of intervention by any point of the dedicated network on the terminal that gives
“non conformi” data (different client position, at any place they are).
3. ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF PRODUCTION
PRODUCTION COSTS OPTIMIZATION: ABSOLUTE PRIORITY OF THE SECTOR
as an example:
ECONOMIC LOSSES OF A POULTRY FARM
(50 broiler houses, of a capacity of around 30.000 broilers per cycle)
ANNUAL ECONOMIC DAMAGE: 300.000,00 € and over
(probability of around 10% of production cycles)
(Mortality; animals with less live weight at slaughter time; Scarts at slaughterhouse;
urgent treatment costs)
Waste disposal costs, residues problems, environmental impact
= ?
4. LEGAL, QUALITATIVE AND ECONOMIC
PRODUCTION ASPECTS
• compliance to sector’s normatives (animal welfare, waste
sisposal, environmental impact ect.)
• company quality policy (economic targets, quality
objectives and continuous improvement,
• Company’s immage,
COST = ?
5. ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF PRODUCTION
PRODUCTION COSTS OPTIMIZATION: ABSOLUTE PRIORITY OF THE SECTOR
LITERATURE DATA
(Poultry International)
A broiler house with adequate system of internal microclimatic control can improve up to
20% and over the performance of growing broilers
OUR EVALUATION
THE CORRECT USE OF TELEVET SYSTEM CAN MAKE POSSIBLE TO DECREASE AT
LEAST 50% OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED DAMAGES, CONSIDERING MEAT CHICKEN
CATEGORY ONLY
6. SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
1. Easily installation: preliminary technical recognition of a house and
installation in 1-2 working days on any type of poultry house.
2. Modular: easily expandable and applicable on other typologies of poultry
houses.
3. Non invasive: absolutely indipendent from local control system, no need
on intervents or modifications of the technology present in the house,
very competitive implementation costs .
4. Easy use and with appropriate hierarchy: 24 h x 365 days by the following
figures:
-system administrator,
-production manager,
-veterinarian
-farm responsible
-house operator
7. SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
5. Real time information with reliable, synthetic and easily intepreting data:
values of analysed and interpreted parameters in practical mode by use
of colours and syntheticaly expressed through real time built graphics.
6. Important company database sorce: possibility to create personalized
profiles of production parameters and targets of a specific commercial
hybrid, company history, use for training courses ect.
7. Ready to be used on broiler, breeder, turkey.
8. Future developments for: layer, pork, rabbit.
8. SYSTEM INSTALLED
Poultry Farm “Pollo Del Campo” S. Sofia ( FC )
Azienda Agricola Sassi Alfredo e Figlio
Farm Monti
Houses 5B e 6A
Hybrid in production:
ROSS 508 , ROSS 708
45. SOFTWARE PROGRAM
• Standard/Personalized profiles for the most part of parameters
• Parameter ‘s prophile on different zones (optimal, welfare, critic,
hard thermic stress, death within few hours)
• Measuring, elaboration and interpretation of internal temperature
based on EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE (apparent)
EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE: the resultant of environmental temperature
correlated to relative humidity and ventilation.
For a maximum production performance the EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE
should correspond with OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE
46. SOFTWARE PROGRAM
EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE: the resultant of environmental
temperature correlated to relative humidity and ventilation
1° PARAMETER ELABORATION LEVEL:
CORRECTION OF INTERNAL TEMPERATURE (at dry bulb)
(MEAN OF 4 VALUES / 4 PROBES)
on a basis of: 2% variation of UR (20% - 100% of UR range)
various depression levels
47. SOFTWARE PROGRAM
EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE
Example of internal temperature: 1° day of cycle (Depression = 0)
IT = 29°C IT = 33°C IT = 35°C
UR = 65-70% UR = 50% UR = 40%
For the day old chick ( and for the system too):
Is the same environmental condition
“told on different language”
48. SOFTWARE PROGRAM
EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE: the resultant of environmental temperature
correlated to relative humidity and ventilation
2° PARAMETER ELABORATION LEVEL:
based on various zones:
Optimal / welfare / critical / hard thermic stress / death within few hours
51. PROGRAMMA SOFTWARE
• Ventilation monitoring based on DEPRESSION
parameter, a very indicative value of ventilation’s
efficiency
Golden rule:
“Good air exchange with good air velocity”
• Monitoring and control of FEED by volumetric method,
applicable at any situation and customizable for each
house, without the need of installation of scales under the
silos.
52. PROGRAMMA SOFTWARE
IMMAGES
• STILL (PHOTO): in automatic (default) at any
situation of “non conformity” orange and/or red,
respeting the pratical rule of “always watch the
chickens”
• VIDEO: on demand to observe suspected clinical
frames, remote evaluation of an anatomo-pathological
findings by the veterinarian ect.
67. THE PRIORITIES
OF EU ZOOTECHNIC SECTOR
• Animal origin food safety
• Animal welfare (Directive 2007/43 CE of 28.06.2007)
• Reduction of antibiotics use in the feed
• Waste and environmental impact
68. THE CORRECT USE OF TELEVET SYSTEM
AS AN AUTOCONTRL TOOL OF ANIMAL
WELFARE AND SANITARY MANAGEMENT
OF BROILER HOUSE…….
IS COHERENT WITH SUCH PRIORITIES !
