Kestrel 5000AG Livestock Environmental Meter

The Kestrel 5000AG Livestock Environmental Meter for livestock, agriculture, and animal health professionals. Whether you are a producer, grower, veterinarian, or consultant, this versatile handheld device provides critical data on micro-climate conditions that directly impact animal health, productivity, and profitability. With the ability to log over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data, the Kestrel 5000AG ensures you can access accurate, real-time information to make informed decisions for your operation.

Key Features:

• Heat Stress Management with THI (Temperature-Humidity Index): The Kestrel 5000AG calculates THI, a key measure for classifying heat stress in livestock. This index helps you manage heat stress risk in livestock production and transportation operations. You can choose between NRC (1971) or Yousef (1985) THI calculations to get site-specific data, ensuring the well-being and productivity of your animals.
• Ventilation Assessments for Barns and Livestock Housing: Proper air movement is crucial for livestock health and growth. The Kestrel 5000AG measures airspeed and airflow to assess ventilation, locate drafts, and confirm fan effectiveness in your facilities. The built-in volume air flow function simplifies these measurements, providing accurate data without external calculators.
• Microclimate Monitoring for Harvest and Storage Conditions: The Kestrel 5000AG can monitor microclimates around your farm, ensuring optimal conditions for grain, hay, and feed storage. You can also track mould and disease risks or leave the device in the field or barn to get a detailed history of environmental conditions.

Built for Farm Use

• Rugged and Durable: Drop-tested to MIL-STD-810G standards, the Kestrel 5000AG is built to withstand the most challenging farm environments. It's also IP67-rated for water and dust resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance indoors and out.
• Portable and Easy to Use: This compact, pocket-sized meter is easy to carry around the farm or store in your glove box. The high-visibility case helps prevent loss, and the large, high-contrast display is readable in bright sunlight and low-light conditions.
• Replaceable Parts and Long Battery Life: The airflow impeller is field-replaceable without tools, and the device is powered by a long-lasting AA lithium battery (average life of 400 hours).

Advanced-Data Logging and LiNK Connectivity

• On-Unit Data Logging: Track and log measurements with on-screen graphing and statistics to clearly understand environmental conditions over time.
• Optional LiNK Connectivity: For those looking to enhance their data management, the Kestrel 5000AG with LiNK offers Bluetooth® low-energy wireless communication to mobile devices. Use the Kestrel app to view real-time readings up to 30 metres away, download stored data, and share it with colleagues.
