Reducing ammonia in stables thanks to sensors

About the research

What if farmers could measure ammonia emissions in their stables like you track your electricity use? πŸ‘¨β€πŸŒΎπŸ’‘ Ammonia is released from animal manure, and if that air becomes too strong, it's bad for the animals, the farmer, and the environment. An Verfaillie of the Institute for Agricultural, Fisheries and Food Research (ILVO) is investigating which sensors are reliable, affordable, and stable-proof. This will give farmers a clear view of the air quality in their stables. Better for the animals, the farmer, and the environment. She explains in this video how technology is bringing a new wind to the agricultural sector!

With curiosity and enthusiasm in her pocket, An is pursuing a more sustainable world as a scientist. Graduating as a biologist, she conducted her first doctoral research with a focus on microalgae. Now she is taking a different turn, but remains committed to sustainability. At the Institute for Agricultural, Fisheries, and Food Research (ILVO), she is committed to pursuing sustainability locally in Flanders with her research on emission measurements at a stable level.
