Good ventilation, litter and manure management protocols are key to reducing ammonia emissions in the poultry sector.
On the back of a 3-year European Innovation Partnership (EIP) trial on 2 Welsh broiler farms, Jason Gittins, technical director for livestock at ADAS, said it was imperative to drive down ammonia levels, which accounted for 87% of UK emissions in 2019, of which 14% came from poultry production.

Due to climate change, heat stress events are expected to become more frequent in broilers, with increased ambient temperatures adversely affecting broilers’ production, reproduction, growth performance, health and welfare. Reduced energy consumption for heating will be offset by increased energy use for cooling. Read more “The importance of lighting in poultry production”
Clostridial enteritis affects intestinal health in broiler flocks and may cause considerable losses. It is caused by Clostridium perfringens and is found all over the world. Fighting the disease is a continuing challenge for the poultry sector. Preventive actions using dedicated products are a valuable solution to maintain healthy gut flora.
