Division 4.13.4 Techniques for reducing ammonia emissions from turkey houses
United Kingdom
| Technique | Description |
|---|---|
| Natural or forced ventilation with a non-leaking drinking system (in case of solid floor with deep litter). | The solid floor is fully covered with litter which can be added upon necessity. Floor insulation (by e.g. concrete, clay) prevents water condensation in the litter. Solid manure is removed at the end of the rearing cycle. The design and operation of the drinking water system prevents leakage and spillage of water on the litter. Natural ventilation can be combined with a free-range system. |
