This pocket-sized, rugged, accurate meter offers the measurements you need for environmental assessments to confirm livestock level air speeds, areas of high moisture, ventilation effectiveness, micro-climate temperatures, livestock heat stress, and more. Easily monitor and record barn, storage, or transportation conditions in addition to field microclimates.

The Kestrel 5000AG Livestock Environmental Meter

The Kestrel 5000AG is designed to meet the needs of livestock, agriculture, and animal health professionals. Producers, growers, veterinarians, and consultants in every field of agriculture will gain vital information regarding micro-climate conditions needed to maximize performance and profitability. This lightweight, handheld, multi-function meter can be used inside and out for spot measurement of current conditions and also tracks and logs over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data.

Heat Stress Management with THI:

THI, (Temperature-Humidity Index) has been used for decades as a measure to classify heat stress risk in many livestock production and transportation operations. This measurement includes both temperature and relative humidity and is a basis for both strategic and tactical management practices which benefit animal health, productivity and well-being.

This meter calculates and logs on-site THI based on user selection of either NRC or Yousef accepted THI calculations. Preprogrammed THI zones are available and can aid in identification of heat stress risk category. Objective and accurate site-specific measurements are critical toensuring a heat stress management strategy that is cost effective; andthey're at your fingertips with the 5000AG.

Kestrel 5000AG

Air Flow (CFM), Altitude (Barometric), Barometric Pressure, Density Altitude, Dew Point Temperature,
Heat Stress Index, Relative Humidity, Station Pressure (Absolute Pressure)
Temperature Humidity Index (THI), Temperature, Wet Bulb Temperature (Psychrometric)
Wind Chill, Wind Speed/Air Speed

Barn / Housing Ventilation Assessments:

The Kestrel 5000AG provides air speed and air flow measurements to quickly quantify air movement in the vicinity of livestock, locate drafts, measure fan effectiveness and confirm duct discharge velocity in a barn/house. Volume air flow takes duct shape and dimensions into account and allows for accurate comparison of various locations in a system. No calculator is needed to determine airflow with the Kestrel 5000AG – a few quick menu picks and built-in averaging gives you accurate readings instantly.

Microclimate, Harvest and Storage Conditions:

Many livestock professionals also grow and store grains, hay and other feedstuffs. The Kestrel 5000AG can measure micro-climates around the farm to determine where mold and disease may be a problem, ensuring conditions are right for harvesting, drying, and storage. Leave the Kestrel 5000AG in place anywhere in the field, barn or greenhouse to get a graphical history of overnight conditions
