    Gas emissions from small and large ruminants: a global problem

    Cattle breeding has an important impact on global greenhouse gas emissions: enteric methane represents 65 % of the environmental effect of the field. This is a problem that requires reliable on-farm measurements, to develop concrete mitigation strategies.

    New diets, nutrition additives, genetic profiling, and husbandry practices can be validated through accurate measurement of CH₄ and CO₂ emissions, to clear the way towards a more sustainable future.

    MooLogger:
    the sniffer for livestock research

    MooLogger is a sniffer, a noninvasive device that samples a portion of ruminant’s breath, measuring CH₄ and CO₂ concentration.

    Developed in Italy by Tecnosens, MooLogger is a robust system that operates automatically in the roughest environments (such as farms) and provides reliable data for livestock research and innovation.

    01

    Installation and gas sampling

    The sniffer can be installed close to automatic milking robots (AMS) or automatic and traditional feeders, making noninvasive sampling of animal breath.

    The sampling nose, placed nearby the feeder, absorbs and filters animal emissions and guarantees accurate measurements of CH₄ and CO₂.

    02

    Gas sampling and data analysis

    Before reaching the NDIR sensor, the sampled gas passes through an advanced sensor system that filters it, removes humidity, heats and stabilizes it, ensuring accurate measurements even in those challenging and dynamic environmental conditions typical of the farm environment.

    The sensors accurately measure CH₄ and CO₂ concentration, while the system records and stores data locally with storage space for more than a year of continuous monitoring.

    03

    Data export and Integration with other systems

    The user-friendly web interface allows you to export data manually or to schedule automatic submissions via FTP/SFTP. For more complex projects, APIs allow effective integration with customer systems.

    Farm-proof
    innovation

    Get accurate measurements
    with NDIR technology

    The NDIR technology integration, designed and engineered by Tecnosens specifically for the farm environment, ensures accurate measurements of CH₄ (0-5,000 ppm) and CO₂ (0-50,000 ppm), providing reliable data for your research and analysis.

    Manage data easily
    and safely

    Intuitive web interface allows you to easily display and download data.

    Local storage ensures your data is saved for over a year, with programmable automatic export options so you never lose valuable information. Data is immediately accessible, moreover, data is owned by the customer.

    Designed for barn
    research

    Designed for barn use, MooLogger includes many continuous self-diagnostic features and is designed to resist dust, humidity and water.

    The automatic sampling nose cleaning system ensures stability in performance and continuity of operation even in those environments that are not constantly presided.

    These advantages and product reliability are the result of investments, partnerships and projects with several international research institutes.

    Contribute to a more
    sustainable future

    With MooLogger, you can concretely reduce the environmental impact of livestock farms through scientific data that allows you to develop and validate effective strategies. Precise emissions monitoring allows you to optimize husbandry practices and feed formulations, actively contributing to the sustainability of the livestock sector.
