Fast manure removal and management to reduce emissions in livestock buildings

The document details strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in livestock farming through improved manure management and housing systems. Key practices include manure separation, acidification, pyrolysis, robotic removal, and increased bedding use, which can reduce methane by 2% and nitrous oxide by 1%, with estimated costs of 240 PLN gross per unit. Implementation is supported by EU and national funding, legal mandates, and a GHG calculator developed by the Institut Zootechniki in Balice. The approach enhances animal welfare, reduces floor moisture, and supports climate-resilient agriculture under Poland’s 2012–2020 sustainable development plan.
