The Kestrel 5000AG Livestock Environmental Meter + Bluetooth LINK is an indispensable tool for anyone involved in livestock management. This compact yet rugged meter quickly and effectively assesses environmental conditions in barns, storage facilities, during animal transport, or in open areas where livestock are kept. Thanks to Kestrel’s advanced technology, you can easily measure and record parameters such as air speed, humidity, temperature, dew point, heat index, THI (Temperature-Humidity Index), and many more. These data points are crucial for maintaining optimal microclimate conditions and reducing the risk of animal heat stress, which in turn affects their health, performance, and overall well-being.

Specifically developed for producers, breeders, veterinarians, and animal health professionals, the Kestrel 5000AG excels both indoors (e.g., in poultry houses, pigsties, or barns) and outdoors. The 5000AG model allows for logging up to 10,000 sets of time-stamped data, which can be easily transferred to a computer or mobile device if you choose the LiNK-enabled version. When used with the Rotating Vane Mount, you can transform your Kestrel 5000AG into a portable weather station, which can be left in place for days or even weeks at a time.

The Kestrel 5000AG Measures:

  • Air Flow (CFM)

  • Altitude (Barometric)

  • Barometric Pressure

  • Density Altitude

  • Dew Point Temperature

  • Heat Stress Index

  • Relative Humidity

  • Station Pressure (Absolute Pressure)

  • Temperature

  • Temperature-Humidity Index (THI)

  • Wet Bulb Temperature (Psychrometric)

  • Wind Chill

  • Wind Speed / Air Speed

Key Product Features

  • Multiple parameter measurements: air speed and flow, temperature, humidity, dew point, heat index, THI, barometric pressure, and more

  • Heat stress analysis: calculates THI (Temperature-Humidity Index) using NRC or Yousef formulas for managing animal heat stress

  • Rugged, waterproof housing: meets MIL-STD-810G (drop-resistance) and IP67 (waterproof), ensuring performance in harsh conditions

  • Wide temperature operating range: reliable under varying, demanding climates

  • Data logging memory: stores up to 10,000 sets of time-stamped data

  • LiNK connectivity (Bluetooth): in the LiNK version, you can transfer data to mobile devices (iOS, Android) or a PC/Mac, as well as update the meter’s firmware

  • Portable weather station: mount in the Rotating Vane Mount for continuous monitoring of conditions over days or weeks

  • Indoor and outdoor use: ideal for barns, poultry houses, pigsties, livestock transport, fields, or storage facilities

Technical Specifications

  • Model: Kestrel 5000AG Livestock Environmental Meter

  • Power Source: 1× AA battery (included)

  • Data Logging Capacity: up to 10,000 sets of time-stamped data

  • Connectivity: optional LiNK (Bluetooth Low Energy) – compatible with iOS, Android, PC, Mac (via Kestrel LiNK Dongle or Data Cable)

  • Housing: meets MIL-STD-810G (drop-tested from 1.2 m), IP67 (waterproof up to 1 m for 30 min)

  • Dimensions & Weight: compact, lightweight – fits in a pocket or personal kit

  • Accessories: includes AA battery, lanyard, protective pouch, user manual; wide array of optional accessories (Rotating Vane Mount, tripods, cases)

The Kestrel 5000AG Livestock Environmental Meter is the ideal solution for farmers, veterinarians, consultants, and all professionals in the agricultural sector who want to provide optimal living conditions for their animals. With extensive measurement functions and the ability to log and transfer data, the Kestrel meter supports effective microclimate management and helps maximize both productivity and animal welfare under a variety of conditions.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT INFO
Display & Backlight Multifunction, multidigit monochrome dot-matrix display. Choice of white or red LED backlight.
Response Time & Display Update Display updates every 1 second. After exposure to large environmental changes, all sensors require an equilibration period to reach stated accuracy. Measurements employing RH may require longer periods, particularly after prolonged exposure to very high or very low humidity. WBGT requires ~8 minutes to reach 95% accuracy and ~15 minutes to reach 99% accuracy after large environmental changes.
Data Storage & Graphical display
Min/Max/Avg History		 Logged history is stored and displayed for every measured value. Manual and auto data storage. Min/Max/Avg history can be reset independently. Auto-store interval is adjustable from 2 seconds to 12 hours* with overwrite on or off. Logs even when display is off, except for 2 and 5 second intervals. Kestrel 5 series units hold over 10,000 data points.
