[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 ...

[ES] En los últimos años han surgido nuevas tecnologías y manejos para los ganaderos cuya finalidad es mejorar la sostenibilidad de las explotaciones. Sin embargo, la implementación de estas prácticas no siempre es ...

[EN] This PhD Thesis focuses on characterizing potential emissions of ammonia (NH3) and methane (CH4) from pig slurries. In particular, it analyses the relationships between nutrient consumption and excretion, slurry ...

[ES] Mediante este trabajo se realizo un análisis de las producciones de estiércoles y purines del cantón de Argovia en Suiza en el año 2012 destacando algunas de sus características ganaderas. Utilizando datos estadísticos ...

[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] In Uruguay, different pig production systems coexist: confinement systems and pastoral systems. These systems differ in terms of production costs, animal welfare and environmental impacts. On the other hand, droughts ...

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 ...
