Bioengineering and Environmental Engineering Ammonia emissions from livestock: range and mitigation options

In view of considerable exceeding the national emission limit for ammonia the livestock in Germany as its major source has to take extensive action for reduction and testable implementation. A package of measures is available for the whole production process, beginning with feeding up to application of manure. Exhaust air treatment is one effective and testable option for emission reduction from forced ventilated livestock housings. Innovative and intelligent stable air guidance with treatment of highly loaded, underfloor sucked branch current may contribute to both, a reduction of exhaust air treatment costs and for improving animal welfare.
