“…Zhang et al (2005) which is an USA study, indicated that NH3 concentration in dairy cattle barns were changed from 2.1 ppm to 20 ppm. In some European Studies, average NH3 concentrations were reported 5.3 ppm (Jungbluth et al, 2001) and 8.2 ppm (Snell et al, 2003).…”

: Indoor air quality in animal barns directly affect to animal productivity. Measuring the pollutants in animal barns proves the negative effects of gases on health of animals and workers. Most studies in this context focused on some pollutant gases such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen sulfide in dairy barn and poultry houses. Less attention in studies in scientific literature was paid to sheep barns which may have more important portion than other animals for the animal production sector of some countries. This paper revealed the concentrations of ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in naturally ventilated sheep barn in Bursa region, western Turkey. Also indoor environmental conditions such as temperature and relative humidity were measured simultaneously with pollutant gas concentrations. Regression and variance analyzes were applied to assess data collected in sheep barn whole over the study period. The average NH3 concentration during the study was 15 ppm for exhaust and 0.77 ppm for ambient, CO2 concentration was 1022 ppm for exhaust and 457 ppm for ambient. There was significant difference among measurement days for exhaust NH3 and CO2 concentrations (P< 0.001). The lowest NH3 concentration was 8 ppm while lowest CO2 concentration was 277 ppm, and the highest concentrations were 38 ppm for NH3 and 1700 ppm for CO2. Also minimum, maximum, average values for indoor temperature were 16.06°C, 26.53°C, 20.69°C, respectively, while minimum 43.42%, maximum 89.6%, average 71.23% values for relative humidity were obtained. According to regression analyze results, the exhaust NH3 concentration related statistically significant with air velocity. The standardized coefficients suggest that indoor temperature and relative humidity sustained the greater effects on CO2 concentrations (P< 0.001).

Hayvan barınaklarında kirleticilerin ölçümleri hayvan ve çalışan sağlığı üzerine olan olumsuz etkileri ortaya koymuştur. Bu amaçla yapılan birçok çalışmada, süt sığırı ahırları ile kanatlı kümeslerindeki amonyak, karbondioksit, metan ve hidrojen sülfit gibi kirleticiler üzerine yoğunlaşmıştır. Bilimsel literatürde, bazı ülkelerin en önemli hayvancılık sektörlerden birisi olan koyunculuk işletmelerine daha az yer verilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Bursa bölgesinde faaliyet gösteren doğal havalandırmalı koyun ağılında amonyak ve karbondioksit konsantrasyonlarına ilişkin ölçüm sonuçlarını göstermektedir. Ayrıca, sıcaklık ve bağıl nem gibi iç ortam çevre koşulları da kirletici gaz konsantrasyonları ile birlikte eş zamanlı olarak ölçülmüştür. Çalışma periyodu süresince koyun ağılında elde edilen verilerin değerlendirilmesi için varyans ve regresyon analizleri uygulanmıştır. Çalışma sonunda ortalama NH3 konsantrasyonu çıkış açıklığında 15 ppm ve giriş açıklığında 0.77...

“…This can be attributable to the structure of the farm buildings, which are open and naturally ventilated. Studies estimated methane emissions from naturally ventilated dairy houses by measuring ventilation rate by tracer decay method [22]. The emissions varied from 749 to 2,946 gCH 4 hr -1 with variation in the house structure, the livestock and the manure removal system.…”

Livestock farm waste contributes substantially to annual worldwide emissions of GHG (Greenhouse Gases), including CH 4 (Methane) and CO 2 (Carbon Dioxide). However, despite evidence of global climate change and its adverse health effects, studies on anthropogenic contributions to the increasing levels of GHG, particularly from livestock waste management practices, have not been adequately explored, especially in less developed countries. This study determined waste management practices and outdoor levels of CH 4 and CO 2 at three selected livestock farms (A-C) in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Each study farm consisted of poultry, cattle and pig units. A 30-point observational checklist documented adequacy of solid waste management practices. Ambient concentrations of CH 4 and CO 2 at farm buildings and at waste disposal sites were monitored every other day, twice each day of monitoring (morning and evening hours), for eight weeks during months of September-November in 2013. Average scores for the waste management practices for Farms A-C were 29.6%, 33.3% and 18.5%, respectively. Morning and evening CH 4 concentrations in parts per million (ppm) at main buildings of Farms A-C were 2,538 ± 773 and 1,916 ± 662, 2,325 ± 773 and 1,180 ± 483, and 2,389 ± 687 and 1,854 ± 571, respectively. Morning and evening CO 2 concentrations (ppm) at Farms A-C main buildings were 350 ± 130 and 330 ± 110, 470 ± 100 and 440 ± 100, and 430 ± 80 and 400 ± 70, respectively. Morning and evening CH 4 concentrations (ppm) at Farms A-C waste disposal sites were 2,452 ± 495 and 1,614 ± 372, 1,527 ± 390 and 1,736 ± 269, and 2,345 ± 615 and 1,690 ± 387, respectively. Morning and evening CO 2 concentrations (ppm) at Farms A-C waste disposal sites were 330 ± 90, 370 ± 60 and 350 ± 30, respectively. Waste management practices were inadequate; solid waste management practices like infrequent evacuation of slurry waste and open burning of waste may have contributed to the production of CH 4 and CO 2 . This study suggested proper handling, removal and disposal of farm waste which can reduce production of GHGs like CH 4 and CO 2 .
