The main objective of this report was to review and gather scientific information and data from the literature to test the assumption that the NH3 emission from a pig house slurry pit and outside storage is more dependent on the area of slurry surface than on the produced quantity or slurry (with the same ammoniacal nitrogen concentration) in the existing slurry-based livestock systems.
