Ammonia emissions from beef cattle feedyards: a review by Myeongseong Lee, Myeongseong Lee, Brent W. Auvermann, Brent W. Auvermann, Luis O. Tedeschi, Jacek A. Koziel, Carolina B. Brandani, Carolina B. Brandani, Vinícius N. Gouvêa, Vinícius N. Gouvêa, Jason K. Smith, Jason K. Smith, Kenneth D. Casey, Kenneth D. Casey

“…Of those, precision diet feeding to meet but not exceed protein requirements appeared to be the most practical way to reduce ammonia emissions over the animals’ feeding period; laboratory studies suggested that shorter-term reductions in emission flux may be possible with the other approaches, but they were far more speculative at this point as to both their efficacy and their cost of implementation.…”
