Topics

Manure and fertilizer management

This topic addresses emissions from manure storage, treatment, and field application, as well as from the use of organic and mineral fertilizers in livestock systems. Contributions focus on emission dynamics, and management practices influencing ammonia, greenhouse gas, and particulate matter emissions.

Livestock facilities and enteric emission

This topic focuses on emissions from animal housing and enteric fermentation. It includes studies on housing design, ventilation, feeding strategies, and animal physiology, and their effects on ammonia, greenhouse gas, and particulate matter emissions.

Measurement methods and data management

This topic covers methods for quantifying gas and dust emissions at laboratory, farm, and regional scales. Contributions address instrument development, method validation, uncertainty analysis, and management of large and complex emission data sets.

Inventories and emission factors

This topic addresses the development, evaluation, and improvement of emission factors and emission inventories for livestock systems. Studies focus on integrating new measurement data, reducing uncertainty, and improving the consistency and transparency of inventory methodologies.

Modeling and emission processes

This topic covers process-based and empirical modeling of emissions from livestock production systems. Contributions focus on understanding biological, chemical, and physical emission processes and on improving the accuracy and robustness of emission estimates at different spatial and temporal scales.

Mitigation strategies and technologies

This topic focuses on system-level approaches to reduce emissions from livestock production, including technical solutions, management practices, and integrated production systems. Contributions address mitigation effectiveness, costs, and the application of Best Available Techniques.
