Dairy farmers can reduce their nitrogen emissions by switching to grass-clover in combination with reduced nitrogen fertilization and mowing practices that improve grass silage quality. Reducing prote...
The best nitrogen-reducing measure is source-oriented. That was the basic premise of the doctoral study performed by Madri Brink (ILVO-UGent- Proefbedrijf Pluimveehouderij). Her trials with broiler ch...
The nitrogen emissions that dissipate under the form of ammonia from a barn with chickens, dairy cattle, beef cattle or pigs are now determined with a prediction model, based on a fixed emission facto...
Flemish Minister of Agriculture and Food Hilde Crevits: "In light of the nitrogen problem, it is important that innovative avenues are at least vetted by experts. ILVO has been given the task of ...
Research aim The efforts that farmers and gardeners have made to reduce nitrogen runoff from fields have already significantly improved the quality of surface and groundwater. In spite of these ef...
Bringing technologies, products and practices for reusing nitrogen and phosphorus to farmers is the goal of the European project NUTRIMAN. This approach stimulates the circular economy and guarantees ...
...s an influence on the decomposition rate of the fertilizer in the soil preparation, and thus on its nitrogen effect. At ILVO, the cut green manure was applied before plowing and after plowi...
Nitrogen reduction plan (PAS) ILVO has for the first time gathered hard figures for beef cattle on the principle that protein digestion in the rumen influences the amount of ammonia emissions. If ...
