Adena Scientific Limited is a privately owned New Zealand company that specialises in the design, supply and maintenance of technical systems for wildlife exhibits, in particular nocturnal houses for the display of NZ's iconic and endangered Kiwi. First established in mid 1988, Adena Scientific became an incorporated company in April 1994 and continues to be operated by it's founders.

Our objective is to meet each customer’s specific needs using high quality products and cost effective services to deliver reliable, automated systems with the best overall value. We apply a science based approach to our research and development work with information gathered from our own research, published research by scientists and, most importantly, the collective experience of our customers who are using our systems to help conserve and care for animals on a daily basis.

Our control and monitoring systems have been designed by us, from the ground up, to provide a complete solution specifically for nocturnal houses and wildlife enclosures in zoological facilities. All our enclosure control systems provide automatic natural seasonal variation of the lighting and climate because we understand that keeping the enclosure environment as natural as possible is best for the animals living in it. A well designed, correctly lit, enclosure also provides the best experience for visitors viewing the animals.

We also design the very specialised technical installations that are needed for nocturnal houses and wildlife enclosures to function as they should. We produce all the necessary electrical drawings and documentation, as well as helping you plan the building to ensure everything will fit precisely where it needs to be placed in the enclosure to work correctly. Our proven designs and technologies deliver better facilities and eliminate problems that can be costly to fix after construction, saving you money while providing you some welcome piece of mind.
