Ammoniakvorming in mestdroogsystemen op legpluimveebedrijven met mestbandbeluchting = Ammonia production in manure drying systems at layer farms with manure belt aeration

Abstract

In this study, we investigated whether ammonia emissions from manure drying systems can be reduced by pre-drying the manure to ca. 55% of dry matter. This study shows that the ammonia emission of drying manure decreases with dry matter content. Pre-drying of manure to 55% of dry matter prevents the occurrence of high emissions in the first phase of the drying process and can reduce the emission from manure drying systems with 50–60%.
