Reducing meat consumption can help greenhouse gas emissions. In this article find out how our gas sensors can help in agricultural farming.
It is impossible for farmers to make improvements to minimise their overall farmland emissions if they have no data on current emission levels and sources. High-quality, accurate data collection for greenhouse gas emissions necessitates the use of gas sensors at several sites around the farm e.g. in milking pens for monitoring livestock, near storage areas for grain, in greenhouses, etc. Agricultural gas sensors will help farmers monitor these emissions and reduce their overall carbon footprint
Gas stunning, otherwise known as Controlled Atmosphere Stunning (CAS), offers several animal welfare advantages over other stunning techniques as it means animals do not need to be shackled, separated from herds, or placed on conveyors for slaughter.3 There are several different approaches to gas stunning that use several mixtures of gas to render the animals unconscious, including gases such as nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. Gas mixtures can be used not just for the stunning process, but for slaughtering the animals as well, which can be combined with CAS methods.
