  • Title: [Odor and ammonia release during and after application of livestock manure].
    Author: Steffens G.
    Journal: Dtsch Tierarztl Wochenschr; 1991 Jul; 98(7):261-4. PubMed ID: 1914945.
    Abstract:
    Slurry application causes often heavy odour and ammonia emissions. Those emissions are influenced by weather conditions, kind and dry matter content of slurry, soil conditions, plant growth and kind of slurry application and incorporation into the soil. On arable land odour and ammonia emissions can be kept low by soon incorporation into the soil and after top dressings on cropped fields by early application (end of January, February, at favourable weather conditions). For grassland, emissions can be reduced by applying slurry at favourable weather conditions, by slurry dilution with water or by "washing". Slurry injection methods or slurry acidification are still problematical.
