[EN] A urease inhibitor was tested in a naturally ventilated pig farm in summer conditions. In-time evaluation and case-control approach were used to assess the mitigation potential. Urease inhibitor reduced ammonia ...

[EN] Ammonia, methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide emissions were measured during a complete production cycle in an enriched cage laying hen facility under Oceanic climate conditions. Continuous monitoring of gas ...

[EN] Standardized measurement protocols are required to reduce ammonia (NH3) emissions. In vitro measurement of NH3 emissions consists in trapping the emission from an emitting source in an acidic solution under controlled ...

[EN] In those professional activities in which people have contact with animals, employees have a hygienic risk associated with zoonoses, a group of animal diseases which can be transmitted to humans by direct contact with ...

[EN] Simple Summary We used two commercial breeds, differing in growth rate: Fast-growing breed and slow-growing breed. We stocked these birds in two different densities. The slow-growing birds was stocked at a high density ...

[EN] Poultry production is one of the main livestock related activities in Spain, being the most consumed fresh meat and the second, behind pork, when looking at total (including processed meat) consumption. On the other ...

The design of structures for animal husbandry has energy and environmental implications. Particularly, the design of broiler houses should consider the comfort of animals in different situations, which is crucial for ...

[EN] There is a need to characterize gas concentrations and emissions from rabbit production. A study was conducted in order to determine ammonia, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide concentrations and emissions in three ...

[EN] The objective of this work is to characterize two contrasting systems of fattening pigs in Uruguay. A total of 96 pigs (average 41.7 kg) were divided into eight groups of 12 animals, representing two production systems: ...

The shape of a poultry building and the distribution of its elements (roof, windows distribution, and window opening) influence the velocity and temperature distribution inside the building and therefore the thermal ...
