articles about greenhouse gas in Articles

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

The working collective units and processing methods at the European level have been inventoried by country and by process.

The feed industry has a significant and essential role to play in achieving One Health in pork production on multiple levels.

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.

This article provides an example of the cost per ton of CO₂ saved by reducing direct greenhouse gas emissions through daily slurry removal and anaerobic digestion.

We went to visit Piggly, a sustainable farm from an environmental, production, animal welfare, and economic perspective.

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

In a situation with a nutrient surplus, the cost of transport is often the most important limiting factor to consider when deciding on the best manure management system for the farm.

The EU is already developing a new legislative framework that will include the degree of sustainability in the labeling of feed and livestock products.

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.

Twelve years ago, the French cooperative Cooperl implemented the TRAC system, a novel way of removing slurry from the pits several times a day, significantly reducing ammonia emissions inside the barns.

Slurry lagoons, and manure holdings in general, are fundamental tools for regulating the balance between the virtually continuous production of manure and its seasonal application to fields as fertilizer.

The pig industry needs to counteract concerns about climate change and provide evidence we are making efforts to minimize our environmental footprint.
