Pig slurry can be used as an alternative source for nutrients, particularly nitrogen (N), plants. However, after applying the pig to soil, gaseous loss of N this nutrient may occur, mainly in form ammonia. Hence study aimed evaluate by volatilization application with acidified pH. Ammonia was evaluated using slurry, its pH modified 5.0 four acids (sulfuric acid, citric ascorbic and acetic acid). Additionally, natural a control were also used. The work conducted greenhouse, collectors capture volatilized ammonia static free semi-open chamber. (7.19) resulted 61% ammonia, whereas acidification acid (pH 5.0) caused only 26%. above 7.0 loss, indicating that maintain 5.0–6.0 could reduce volatilization.

In this review, holistic view strategies targeting pits classified based on mechanism interaction (physical, chemical, biological) with their efficiency presented. Also, combination chemical additives other methods discussed. key include cover, solid–liquid separation, acidification, antimicrobial agents, aeration. Among various methods, acidification pH 5.5 acts as benchmark since it achieves reduction emission range 95–99% 65–99% stored pig cattle slurry, respectively. Other treatments such agents oxidants also reduce wide depending dosage. Further, physical yields cumulative or synergistic effect reducing emission. This review identifies significant factors that influence additives, which helps mitigate storage.

Excreta from housed animals are typically stored before land application, and storage is an important point source of CH4, N gases, odor. This study explored acidification as a strategy for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, specifically the potential to reduce acid dose improve cost-effectiveness minimize environmental impacts. Pig slurry was with five doses concentrated sulfuric [1.2–6.0 kg (m3 slurry)−1] 63 days. Emissions CH4 NH3 were reduced by 46–96% 33–78%, respectively, increase in dose. Odorant emissions, dominated 4-methyphenol H2S, strongly suppressed acidification. Below pH 6, methanogen inhibition most likely due undissociated VFAs, above could involve competition sulfate reducers H2S. If 1, 3, or 10 treatments needed, annual costs GHG mitigation across 28–47, 44–57, 93–134 € (ton CO2 equivalents)−1, respectively. With 1 3 treatments, cost-effective 2.1 m–3, 3.2 m–3 treatments. suggests that low-dose viable mitigation.

Methane (CH 4 ) emission from pig slurry is a large contributor to the climate footprint of livestock production. Acidification excreta animals with sulfuric acid, reduce CH and practiced at many Danish farms. Possible interaction effects other acidic agents or management practices (e.g. frequent removal residual acidification) have not been fully investigated. Here we assessed effect acidification range organic inorganic acids respect their inhibitor potential in several batch experiments (BS). After careful selection promising inhibitors, three continuous headspace (CHS) were carried out simulate manure houses.
