Abstract Concrete Outdoor Runs (OUTRUNs) are a characteristic part of organic pig
housing. They must allow species-specific behaviours such as rooting and elimination, as …

Pigs are widely acknowledged for their olfactory abilities. Research on pigs' olfactory
capacities has focused mainly on aspects of olfaction that directly impact production, such as …

Livestock farming, and in particular slurry management, is a major contributor to ammonia
(NH 3) and methane (CH 4) emissions in Europe. Furthermore, reduced NH 3 and CH 4 …

Huge amounts of energy is usually consumed by intensive pig farms and the supply systems
based on renewable energy and heat recovery contributes to reducing the reliance of fossil …

Partly slatted pens can offer growing/finishing pigs a better house environment than pens
with fully slatted floors. Under thermoneutral conditions, pigs prefer to rest on a solid area …

The emission of ammonia (NH3) is predominantly caused by agriculture, especially by
livestock keeping. The health effects of NH3 and the related formation of particulate matter …

Laboratory rodent room usually adopts full fresh air system with large ventilation rates and
causes energy waste for heat-cold offset process. Liquid desiccant system is identified as an …

Determination of ammonia (NH3) emissions for intensive livestock facilities (pork, poultry) is
important from both a regulatory and a research point of view. Buildings housing livestock …

Showers can be used in the outdoor run to improve thermal comfort and provide
environmental enrichment for growing-finishing pigs. Showers may also reduce ammonia …

The quantification of gas emissions from livestock housings is a complex and challenging
measurement task because performing emission measurements under practice conditions …
