CHALLENGE

High greenhouse gas emissions from deep litter systems in livestock housing

TECHNOLOGY

Measurement and modelling of emissions with improved litter removal practices

POTENTIAL

Enables emission reduction strategies and better climate data for agriculture

Goal

  • Document climate impact of frequent removal of cattle deep litter.
  • Quantify methane and nitrous oxide emissions directly from deep litter in barns.
  • Develop Danish emission and reduction factors for use in national inventories.
  • Develop practical systems for litter application and removal at farm scale.


Plan

  • Measure barn emissions from deep litter under current and frequent removal practices.
  • Characterize manure and bedding composition over time to identify emission drivers.
  • Compile results in a database for developing and modelling emission factors.
  • Prepare guidelines for farmers balancing climate mitigation, animal welfare, and practical feasibility.


Expected results

  • High-quality Danish data on greenhouse gas emissions from deep litter barns.
  • Reliable emission and reduction factors ready for integration into inventories.
  • Practical guidelines for farmers on litter removal frequency and system design.
  • Knowledge directly supporting climate policies and sustainable livestock practices.
