CO2 during brooding: warmth without stale air
Brooding closes the house to hold heat, and gas heaters add CO2 to it. How to keep chicks warm without letting CO2 build up, and what to measure.

Poultry house monitoring and analytics
Henlytics is a poultry house monitoring system that measures ammonia, CO2, temperature, humidity, feed silo level and fan current in every house, and alerts your phone the moment something goes wrong.
It works alongside the climate controller you already have.
The failures that cost a flock happen when nobody is in the house
A good controller runs the house. It does not always tell you, at two in the morning, that the house is not doing what it was told.
-
Ammonia builds up on minimum ventilation
Cold nights and closed houses are when NH3 and CO2 climb, and when nobody is taking readings.
-
A fan stops while the controller says it is on
A current sensor on each fan motor shows whether it is actually running, not just switched on.
-
A silo runs empty on a Sunday
A radar sensor on the silo roof shows the feed level from your phone, with an alert before the lines run dry.
-
Every house on one screen, and a record of the flock
Live readings, history per house and alerts that repeat until someone on the farm acknowledges them.
Keep your controller. Add a second pair of eyes.
Henlytics does not switch fans or heaters. It measures the house with its own sensors and reports independently, so a fault in the equipment, or in the controller itself, still reaches your phone.
Your climate controller
- Runs fans, heaters, inlets and cooling
- Works from its own temperature sensors
- Alarms in the house or through its own dialer
Henlytics, beside it
- Ammonia, CO2, temperature and humidity at bird height
- Current on each fan motor, feed level in each silo
- History per house and alerts on every phone on the farm
No rewiring of the controller, no change to how the house is run. Sensors and one controller per house, on the cellular network.
Set up for how your farm produces
-
Broilers
Short cycles, dense houses and a brooding week where the margin for error is smallest.
-
Layers
Long flocks in the same house, where a slow change in air quality or water shows up as eggs lost weeks later.
-
Breeders and hatcheries
Valuable birds and a hatchery climate where a few degrees for a few hours is a batch.
Industrial sensors, one controller per house
Every sensor is a standard industrial instrument, and any of them connects to the same controller port. Add a sensor to a house later without changing anything else.

Questions farmers ask
What is a poultry house monitoring system?
A set of sensors in each house that measure the conditions the birds live in, such as ammonia, CO2, temperature and humidity, plus equipment checks like fan current and feed silo level, all reporting to one screen and alerting a phone when something goes out of range. Henlytics is one such system, designed to run alongside the existing climate controller.
Does Henlytics work with my existing controller?
Yes. Henlytics does not replace or connect into your climate controller. It uses its own sensors and its own controller in each house, so it works the same way whatever brand is on the wall.
How does Henlytics send data from a remote farm?
Each house has a Genesis controller that sends readings over the cellular network. No Wi-Fi or cabling back to an office is needed, and the controller keeps readings if the signal drops and sends them when it returns.
Who gets the alerts?
Everyone you add to the farm account, on the mobile app. An alert repeats until someone acknowledges it, and a second notice goes out when the reading returns to normal.
Can I start with one house?
Yes. Many farms start with one house or one problem, often ammonia or fan failure, and add sensors and houses later. Every house appears on the same dashboard.
How is Henlytics priced?
Each farm is quoted on the houses and sensors it needs. Send the number of houses and what you want to watch, by the form or on WhatsApp, and you will get a quote.
