Farm Emissions Measurements

Emission measurements to stables were always executed in the past by the former IMAG, institute for environmental/agriculture technology (now known as Wageningen UR Livestock Research, Animal Sciences Group ASG). Recently, several commercial parties such as EnviVice can perform measurements on stables, provided that a number of quality criteria are met. Envivice will respect the commitments enshrined in the measurement protocol, ‘Measurement of ammonia emission from housing systems in livestock production 2010’ or `VERA test protocol Version 2` so the result by Tac-Rav committee (desk function by Agentschap NL) are accepted. Pilot stole scheme measurements are performed whereby review of the results takes place at a predetermined emission of ammonia in index numbers g / animal place / year. Efficiency measurements of chemical and biological air scrubbers are performed for verification result to licensing requirements.
