Summary:
A high-tech start-up, born in Northern Italy in 2016, has developed in collaboration with research centres and universities an innovative system of LED lamps and software applied to the poultry and zootechnical sector which helps to increase the quality and quantity of farms, reducing mortality and improving animal welfare. Organisations and companies operating in the poultry and zootechnical sector are sought after for commercial agreements with technical assistance.
Description:
One of the strategic aspects of farms is the evaluation and management of the effects that light induces on animals, their productivity and welfare. Another aspect is the compensation of the amount of energy and the type of spectrum reproduced in the various age phases of the animals and at different times of the day (when they eat, when they sleep, etc)
Taking these two aspects into account, the Italian Hi Tech startup has developed a patented technology which guarantees the flexibility of LED luminaires to reproduce the ideal spectrum for better production on farms. The software is able to automatically adapt the spectrum to different types of farms without the need to replace the lamps. The system is also able to optimize energy consumption and efficiency using a quantum environmental sensor and to detect the radiant energy supplied to the animals in order to obtain the data that make up the ideal photobiological profile.
The system has the possibility to interact with other technologies already present in the farm, in order to have a wider management and control of the supply of specific "ingredients" (H2O, CO2, temperature, nutrients) and of the different "controls" for the activation of the machines (shaders, fans...).
Organisations operating in the poultry and zootechnical sector interested in adapting this new advanced LED lighting system to their companies are sought after in order to establish a commercial agreement with technical assistance.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
Organizations that work or produce chickens, rabbits, pigs and cows (such as: breeders; companies that design and produce plants for the production of eggs, chickens...; companies that design and produce modular systems for the automation of production processes for farms; genetic research centres; meat producers; importers of equipment for farms; retailers of equipment for farms) are sought after for the adaptation and integration of this advanced LED lighting system through a commercial agreement with technical assistance.
Stage of Development:
Available for demonstration
Comments Regarding Stage of Development:
Such an advanced LED lighting system has already aroused strong interest from university research centres, meat producers and installers of poultry and animal husbandry equipment, who are willing to use them in their activities
IPR Status:
Patents granted,Trade Marks
Comments Regarding IPR Status:
The controlled lighting system for artificial growth is patented at international level.
