ISCF WAVE 1 AGRI TECH_Animal WelfAir

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The proposed project aims to design, develop and test an innovative integrated system [Flexible Fibre Mop (FFM)/UV photocatalytic oxidation (UVPCO)/bag filter (BF)/LED lighting] for efficient and cost-effective indoor air quality (IAQ) and lighting control to improve poultry house air quality and animal welfare. The system will integrate various technologies, including a novel UV activated, TiO2 coated flexible fibre mop, microporous bag filter, cross-flow heat exchanger and customised LED light array. The novel AnimalWelfAir system will provide good IAQ and optimised lighting throughout the year leading to better poultry health, welfare and subsequently enhanced productivity. This project will provide a sustainable, innovative solution to the present high fossil fuel consumption and related high carbon emissions while increasing the productivity of the UK and global livestock sector thus reducing the industry's adverse impacts on the environment.
