Spain has been the largest pork producer in EU recent years, leading to significant pig slurry (PS) production that requires proper management prevent environmental impacts. The objectives of this study were quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) and ammonia emissions characterize PS storage pond systems. A straw cover (SP) addition effective microorganisms (EMs) a biological (BP) used treat slurries. During two periods (autumn spring), was characterized GHG (CO2, CH4, N2O) NH3 measured with dynamic chamber. After 5 weeks storage, BP achieved reduction 96% for CO2, 98% CH4 59% compared control (CP) spring, while SP presented 74% CO2 autumn, 60% 97% reductions NH3, respectively, spring. Additionally, samples showed decreasing trend EC, dry matter, COD, BOD5, total N, NH4+-N, Org.-N, NO3−-N, PO43− during both seasons. This preliminary shows promise reducing GHG/NH3 improving properties, but further replication is recommended. Varying thickness, optimizing EM dose, pH may enhance outcomes.

In recent years, the Canadian dairy sector has faced escalating challenges due to its significant contribution greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane. This paper critically examines a spectrum of innovative techniques aimed at mitigating methane emissions within this sector, scrutinizing their cost-effectiveness, efficiency, compatibility with animal welfare standards, and adherence both existing prospective environmental legislations. The discourse commences an exhaustive overview contemporary reduction methodologies pertinent farming, followed by rigorous analysis economic feasibility. includes detailed cost-benefit analysis, juxtaposed efficiency technological advancements these embody. A pivotal aspect examination is alignment emission objectives, ensuring that strategies employed do not compromise health well-being cattle. Furthermore, delves into legislative landscape Canada, evaluating congruence current laws anticipating future regulatory shifts. Performance indicators for are assessed, establishing benchmarks tailored context. complemented exploration market potential innovations, including factors influencing adoption scalability in market. culminates synthesis case studies best practices offering insights successful implementations drawing lessons endeavors. comprehensive approach serves only address immediate impacts associated farming but also contributes significantly overarching goal sustainable development agricultural sector.

Reducing methane (CH4) emission from livestock production can be achieved by the treatment of manure in slurry pits and storage tanks. In case pits, treating residual left out after frequent flushing largely reduce CH4 due to decrease methanogenic inoculum. this study, three surfactants, two oxidants a flocculant were screened for their efficiency reducing pig headspace setup. All surfactants reduced > 95% at dosage 8 g kg−1 particularly sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was effective low only 2.5 with >95% reduction. Oxidants 30–85% different dosages, hypochlorite being most effective. Flocculant did not emissions significantly. None studied treatments ammonia Similarities pathway observed among surfactant treated slurries, oxidant slurries. Considering cost environmental effects additives, SDS seems promising choice. Future work on could either as combination other additives or up-scaling designing solutions houses.
