Abstract:

 Broiler chicken farming has become one of the increasingly widespread branches of production due to rising demand. Harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide that emerge in the poultry house environment have significant effects on the atmosphere, avian health, and consequently human health. This situation emphasizes the need for precise control over the processes in broiler chicken farming. In this study, indoor environmental conditions temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, and ammonia of a 2-story poultry farm engaged in broiler production were monitored using sensors during 2 growing periods. Subsequently, a remote monitoring system was established through a developed web server application. During the 1st production period, the initial temperature of the poultry house environment averaged around 34 C, while relative humidity values were at around 50. In the following weeks, the temperature gradually decreased, and in the last days of the production period, the minimum temperature was determined to be 20 C, and the relative humidity reached around 70. Throughout the 2nd production period, starting from the 9th day, the average temperature was 25 C, and relative humidity values were around 50. As the weeks progressed, the temperature gradually decreased, and in the last days of the production period, the minimum temperature was found to be 14 C, and the relative humidity reached around 70. The CO2 value during the 1st production period generally remained within acceptable limits for both floors, exceeding the widely accepted threshold of 3000 ppm only on the 1st floor for 2-3 hours and remaining within acceptable limits at other times. However, during the 2nd production period, with the cooling weather, it was observed that on days 10-15, chicks on the ground floor were exposed to CO2 levels exceeding 3000 ppm for more than 12 hours, and on the 1st floor, CO2 levels reached up to 5000 ppm for a few hours. For both production periods, the NH3 value showed a tendency to increase in the last week, and this increase reached a maximum value of 8 ppm.

 Etlik piliç yetiştiriciliği artan talep doğrultusunda giderek yaygınlaşan üretim kollarından biri haline gelmiştir. Kümes ortamında ortaya çıkan Karbondioksit, Amonyak, Hidrojen Sülfür gibi zararlı gazlar, atmosfer, kanatlı sağlığı ve dolayısıyla insan sağlığı açısından önemli etkilere sahiptir. Bu durum, etlik piliç yetiştiriciliğinde süreçlerinin hassas kontrolünü ön plana çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, etlik piliç üretimi yapan 2 katlı bir çiftliğe ait kümes içi ortam koşulları sıcaklık, bağıl nem, karbondioksit ve amonyak, 2 yetiştirme dönemi süresince sensörlerle okunmuştur. Daha sonra geliştirilen bir web server uygulaması ile uzak izleme sistemi oluşturulmuştur. 1. üretim döneminde kümes ortamının başlangıç sıcaklığı ortalama 34 C, bağıl nem değerleri ise  50 seviyelerinde gerçekleşmiştir. İlerleyen haftalarda sıcaklık değerinin kademeli olarak düştüğü ve üretim döneminin son günlerinde minumun sıcaklık değerinin 20 C, bağıl nem değerinin ise 70 seviyelerine ulaştığı belirlenmiştir. 2. üretim dönemi süresince 9. günden itibaren yapılan ölçümlerde, ortalama sıcaklık değerinin 25 C, bağıl nem değerleri ise  50 seviyelerinde gerçekleşmiştir. İlerleyen haftalarda sıcaklık değerinin kademeli olarak düştüğü ve üretim döneminin son günlerinde minumun sıcaklık değerinin 14 C, bağıl nem değerinin ise 70 seviyelerine ulaştığı belirlenmiştir. CO2 değeri ise 1. üretim döneminde her iki kat için genel olarak kabul edilebilir sınır değer olan 3000 ppm değerini sadece 1. katta 2-3 saat süre ile aştığı diğer zamanlarda kabul edilebilir sınırlar içerisinde olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak havaların soğumasıyla birlikte 2. üretim döneminde 10-15. günlerde civcivlerin zemin katta 12 saatten daha fazla süreyle 3000 ppmin üzerinde CO2e maruz kaldığı, 1. katta ise birkaç saat süre ile 5000 ppm seviyelerine kadar çıktığı görülmüştür. Her iki üretim dönemi için NH3 değerinin son hafta içerisinde artış gösterme eğiliminde olduğu ve bu artışın maksimum 8 ppm değerine ulaştığı belirlenmiştir.
