The following concepts are used to
measure the humidity of air in poultry
houses
 Absolute humidity = grams of moisture
present in 1 m3 of air
 Maximum humidity = maximum grams of
moisture that can be present in 1 m3 of air
at a given temperature
 Relative humidity = the relationship
between the moisture content of the air
and the maximum moisture content at the
current air temperature expressed in
percentages.
