Ways to minimize nitrogen emissions in agricultural farms

Abstract

The overwhelming scientific unanimity is that gases produced by a different agricultural system including poultry farms are affecting the climate of the globe. One of the ecological defiances is poultry manure elimination and/or utilization. Chicken manure and its nitrogenous compounds could be a prospective pollutant rising eutrophication, nitrite or nitrate impurity of water, acid precipitation in the air, and ammonia volatilization. Thus, lowering nitrogen excretion in fowl litter is necessary to keep an immaculate environment. Appropriate nutrition is a significant first step to optimize growth and performance in animals and to lower the negative effects on the environment. Amino acids are components of fowl nutrition that largely affect animal growth. However, deficient or surplus amino acid supplementations in diets elevate nitrogen emission. One way to lower this emission is to prohibit uricase vigor in the microflora in chicken manure. Egg yolk antibodies are economic alternates for supplementation in the diets of chickens. Administration of feed grade antibodies into poultry feed could be a probable program to reduce bacterial uricase action and minimize ammonia excretion from chicken manure. To utilize this dietary strategy efficiently, a well-balanced ration formulation and a more feasible method of delivering the antibodies in feeds need to be improved.
