Spain reduces ammonia emissions from the livestock industry

Including dried brewers' spent grains in the feed not only provides protein but can lessen the environmental impact of pig slurry.

The application of BATs to optimize the management of slurry inside the barns means increasing the frequency of emptying the pits to the outside storage.

Eight years ago, Granja Capdevila Torrent Ramaders started up its biogas production plant using co-digestion and is now an example of economic viability and sustainability.

This article describes different techniques that can be applied, in order of priority, to prevent NH₃ and CH₄ emissions.

In this first article on emissions, Xavier Flotats explains how the main greenhouse gases and ammonia are generated on our farms.

In addition to the environmental benefits, the increased cost of energy and inorganic fertilizers make on-farm biogas production an interesting cost-effective option.

Do you know the most effective, practically applicable, and economically feasible measures to reduce ammonia emissions? Proper application of these measures would meet the requirements set forth in the regulations.
