Manure management might help decrease GHG gas from animal agriculture..


Higher ambient temperature and higher manure moisture content favour CH4 emissions (6 Table 3).

Cooling of slurry below slatted floors to 10°C has been found to reduce CH4 emissions by 30-46% compared to the situation without cooling (Sommer et al., 2004; Groenestein et al., 2012). Efficacy will depend on the methanogenic potential of the slurry. Studies find significant (50-86%) reductions in GHG emissions (CH4+N2O) from pig housing with frequent manure removal (Groenestein et al., 2012).
