Evaluation of the efficacy of amendment types and rates in reducing ammonia emissions from broiler litter

Several amendments have been used to reduce ammonia (NH3) emissions from broiler litter (BL); however, a comparative study between amendments and their application rates has not been fully explored. This study evaluated the potential of biochar (B), zeolite (Z), Flue Gas Desulphurization-Gypsum (FGD...
