“…Europe is the continent with the most EFs for all gases (110 for CH 4 , 414 for NH 3 , and 199 for N 2 O). In North America, NH 3 is the most represented gas, probably because of North American regulations limiting NH 3 emissions for some farm categories (Bjerg et al., 2019) and the implementation of mitigation techniques (Santonja et al., 2017). Ammonia EFs were collated from 16 countries (though unfortunately none from African countries), CH 4 EFs from 13 countries, and N 2 O EFs from 17 countries in all continents.…”

Livestock manure management systems can be significant sources of nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and ammonia (NH3) emissions. Many studies have been conducted to improve our understanding of the emission processes and to identify influential variables in order to develop mitigation techniques adapted to each manure management step (animal housing, outdoor storage, and manure spreading to land). The international project DATAMAN (http://www.dataman.co.nz) aims to develop a global database on greenhouse gases (N2O, CH4) and NH3 emissions from the manure management chain to refine emission factors (EFs) for national greenhouse gas and NH3 inventories. This paper describes the housing and outdoor storage components of this database. Relevant information for different animal categories, manure types, livestock buildings, outdoor storage, and climatic conditions was collated from published peer reviewed research, conference papers, and existing databases published between 1995 and 2021. In the housing database, 2024 EFs were collated (63% for NH3, 19.5% for CH4, and 17.5% for N2O). The storage database contains 654 NH3 EFs from 16 countries, 243 CH4 EFs from 13 countries, and 421 N2O EFs from 17 countries. Across all gases, dairy cattle and swine production in temperate climate zones are the most represented animal and climate categories. As for the housing database, the number of EFs for the tropical climate zone is under‐represented. The DATAMAN database can be used for the refinement of national inventories and better assessment of the cost‐effectiveness of a range of mitigation strategies.

“…In Europe, dairy cows are mainly housed in naturally-ventilated barns with openings in A C C E P T E D the walls. Many countries in Europe have defined legal requirements to limit the emission of NH 3 and GHGs [8], but in the Mediterranean area further efforts should be done to improve norms to control emissions. Currently, the main emission inventories (for example, the Italian Greenhouse Gas Inventory 1990-2021) are based on emission factors estimated in a northern European context, where the climatic conditions and related barn facility and barn management are different compared to the Mediterranean area [9].…”

The increasing regulatory pressure to monitor and reduce GHG emissions and air pollutants requires cost-effective methods for their surveillance. The most common technique used for scientific investigations on gas concentration monitoring in barns are accurate but expensive and with a complex maintenance. This research study analysed the potential use of a low-cost portable measurement devices for the measurement of ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in an open dairy barn. A comparison between gas concentrations acquired at different heights from the floor by using portable devices and those acquired by a photoacoustic infrared multigas spectroscope (i.e., reference measurement) in the same sampling locations was carried out to determine the precision of the low-cost portable devices. The performance of low-cost portable devices was statistically analysed by the application of the one-way analysis of variance, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The results showed a significant difference between gas concentration values at various heights from the floor for both NH3 and CO2. The correlations between concentrations acquired by the low-cost portable device and the INNOVA were statistically significant (r=0.83; P&lt;0.001) for gas concentrations monitored at 0.4 m from the floor. Compared with the reference measurement device, the low-cost devices were effective in the monitoring of NH3 concentrations at 0.40 m from the floor though it underestimated them in the barn at increasing of the height from the floor, whereas the device was not adequate for CO2 concentrations. In detail, the relative measurement error of the low-cost devices compared to INNOVA was reduced close to the floor during NH3 concentration measurements. Within these limitations, this device could be useful for monitoring NH3 concentration in the barn and to assess variation in NH3 concentrations mainly related to the animal occupied zone. Further efforts are needed in this field of research to identify low-cost device that could simplify emission estimation from open dairy barns.
