Reducing ammonia and especially odor emissions from the pig house by adapted ventilation
By conducting research into air flows and ventilation in pig houses, the odor was reduced by 34% and the ammonia emission by 11%.

There is a high degree of automation within poultry and pig farms, especially in terms of ventilation control and feeding. This is also increasing on dairy farms, and includes things like milking robots and manure robots. But sensors are also used, such as pedometers for draft detection.
