Simple Summary The aim of the present study was to develop predictive models for the potential generation and emission of ammonia from Brazilian broiler chicken production. For this study, samples of poultry litter (shavings and coffee husks) from thirty commercial poultry houses located in the Zona da Mata Mineira region were analyzed. The poultry...

Context 1
... air renewal inside the climatic chambers was done by means of axial exhausts, activated automatically. The aviary bed samples were individually arranged in rectangular plastic boxes (Fig- ure 4) with a volume of 20 L in the following dimensions: 60 cm long, 38 cm wide and 16 cm high. According to the depth adopted in the facilities for broiler production the boxes were filled with the aviary bed up to the height of 10 cm. ...

... to the depth adopted in the facilities for broiler production the boxes were filled with the aviary bed up to the height of 10 cm. In the center of the box it was placed an equipment for fixation of the volatilized ammonia (Figure 4), according to the methodology SMDAE [74]. This method, called "Saraz Method for Determination of Ammonia Emissions" (SMDAE), is based on the mass diffusion method for the determination of ammonia flux from broiler bedding, based on the total volatilized ammonia content that is volatilized and captured. ...
