INFORMATION-MEASURING SYSTEM FOR MICROCLIMATE CONTROL IN THE EXHIBITION MODULES OF THE KYIV ZOO

This paper is dedicated to the development of a unified system for monitoring microclimate parameters in the terrariums of the Kyiv Zoo. In cooperation with zoo representatives, existing methods and devices for artificially creating a microclimate in exhibition modules were reviewed and analyzed. The issues of this process were examined, and the main parameters for animal housing conditions were determined, such as air or water temperature, humidity, illumination, and the level of ultraviolet radiation. Six exhibition modules were selected for experimental studies.
