In the media | Video Addressing ammonia emissions from pigs and poultry
Many livestock farms need to significantly reduce their emissions—a necessary but challenging task. In the RAMBO-project Flemish and Dutch partners are working together to find practical solutions that tackle ammonia emissions at source, both in pig farming and poultry farming.
In this Dutch-language report by Plattelands TV, we look at some promising measures for each sector.Promising measures and techniques
PIG PRODUCTION
For pigs, this includes free-range farrowing pens with daily manure removal and feeding measures such as the addition of zeolites.
POULTRY PRODUCTION
In poultry farming, the focus is on innovative litter materials and increasing the frequency with which manure belts are run. You can see how these techniques are being tested in practice and what the initial results are.
The video shows how these techniques are being tested in practice and what the initial results are. Attention is also paid to side effects such as odor, particulate matter, methane, and the effect on animal welfare and health.
