Background

 Animal operations are important sources of anthropogenic

GHG, mostly of CH4 and N2O.

 Measurements of both CH4 and N2O from animal

  • perations have large uncertainties.

 Dietary strategies have been studied to reduce air emissions

while maintaining animal performance (Powers et al., 2007).

 Air emissions from different species were measured in

environmental rooms in 17 studies.

 Software control (LabVIEW v. 8.2)

 Purge for 9.5 min, data collection for 5.5 min  One measurement cycle is 195 min.  7 to 8 daily observations per room

 Data analyzed using mixed model (SAS v. 9.1)

 Date was a random variable and room was treated as nested

Effects of dietary strategies on N2O emissions

 Effects of dietary strategies on N2O emissions

were not observed in any of the 17 studies at α=0.10 level.

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Conclusions

Large discrepancy between the INNOVA and the Model 55C CH4 measurements were observed when air temperatures were relatively high (21 to 25oC) and CO2 concentrations were low. The measured CH4 emission rates were comparable with the IPCC estimated values. The measured N2O emission rates were much higher than the IPCC values, especially for poultry (dry manure handling system), indicating an underestimation of the IPCC N2O emission factors.

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Conclusions

Poultry had lower CH4 emission rates than dairy cows, heifers and steers, but poultry had much higher N2O emission rates in g kg BW-1 day-1. As a result, poultry had similar GWP with dairy cows, heifers and steers, if not higher, as expressed in g kg BW-1 day-1 CO2e. Diets with higher content of DDGS resulted in higher CH4 emissions from laying hens and swine operations. Diets with higher CP content resulted in higher CH4 emissions from dairy cow operations. The N2O emissions were not influenced by the applied dietary strategies.

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Implications

 The results suggested conditions when either

instrument for CH4 measurement is acceptable (temp, concentration)

 Diet strategies merit further investigation for both

ruminant and non-ruminant species.
