Dairy farmers sometimes use additives in their cattle housing to reduce emissions from slurry. Emissions of substances such as ammonia occur when urine and feces mix on the floor of the housing. At the same time, dairy farmers want to increase the fertilizing value of the manure when it is applied to agricultural land.
Microorganisms as a Solution for Emission Reduction in Dairy Farming
Dairy farmers are exploring the use of microorganisms as additives in cattle housing to reduce emissions from manure while enhancing its fertilizing value for agricultural use. This practice is relevant for Iran's agricultural sector, which faces challenges related to waste management and environmental sustainability. The integration of such solutions could improve both environmental outcomes and agricultural productivity in the country.
