This report presents the results of measurements performed at one animal facility for veal calves using the control-case approach, to estimate the ammonia and odour emission reduction of a floor (Groene Vlag) combined with a V-shaped manure belt under the floor compared to the traditional wooden slatted floor. These measurements were commissioned by Bettink Service Team and by Beerepoot Stalinrichtingen BV. Ammonia emissions were significantly lower (53%) than the emission from the traditional floor measured simultaneously within the same farm (case-control approach). Odour emissions were significantly lower (47%) than the emission from the traditional floor measured simultaneously within the same farm (case-control approach).

In this study, measurements of ammonia emission have been carried out in a cubicle room of the environmental research barn of Dairy Campus equipped with the MeadowFloor CL of the company Proflex and a slurry scraper of the company JOZ. An identical room, equipped with a conventional concrete slatted floor, served as control. This study shows that the MeadowFloor CL yields a 35% reduction of ammonia emission.

Onderzoek werd verricht naar de ammoniakemissie van bandbatterij voor leghennen met optimale droging van de mest op de band en weekontmesting.
