Determine emissions from open stables
Further development of methods for recording, modelling and assessing emissions in livestock housing
Freely ventilated open stalls are good for animal welfare: they offer natural light, fresh air and exercise as needed for pigs, cattle and co. But how high are the greenhouse gas emissions actually caused by this type of animal husbandry? The EmiMod project will provide the data basis for this.
Background and Objective
The aim of the national joint project with ten partner institutions is to further develop and simplify methods for recording, modelling and assessing emissions of ammonia and other climate-impacting gases as well as odour and bioaerosols in freely ventilated fattening pig and dairy cattle barns. For this purpose, classical emission measurement methods are to be combined with novel measurement strategies, numerical flow simulations and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. As a result, the collection of emission data will be more accurate, simpler and cheaper than before. At the same time, alternative housing systems can be assessed more appropriately. The results will serve as a basis for decision-making for planners, licensing and monitoring authorities. The data provide policymakers with a reliable basis, for example, to further develop animal-friendly and environmentally sound husbandry methods. The farms themselves can, for example, monitor their emission levels and contribute to environmental and climate protection through appropriate measures.
Approach
The task of the Thünen Institute is the (further) development of low-cost sensor arrays, the measurement of bioaerosols and the modelling of different emission situations with the help of digital twins of the barn buildings to derive emission rates.
