Greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions from an open-freestall dairy in southern idaho.

Concentrated dairy operations emit trace gases such as ammonia (NH), methane (CH), and nitrous oxide (NO) to the atmosphere. The implementation of air quality regulations in livestock-producing states increases the need for accurate on-farm determination of emission rates. Our objective was to determine the emission rates of NH, CH, and NO from the open-freestall and wastewater pond source area...

Alcohol, volatile fatty acid, phenol, and methane emissions from dairy cows and fresh manure.

There are approximately 2.5 million dairy cows in California. Emission inventories list dairy cows and their manure as the major source of regional air pollutants, but data on their actual emissions remain sparse, particularly for smog-forming volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and greenhouse gases (GHGs). We report measurements of alcohols, volatile fatty acids, phenols, and methane (CH4) emitt...
