Description: Experiments were conducted to assess the effectiveness of bedding materials in reducing ammonia release from manure. Nine different bedding materials were tested. In the first set of experiments, a layer of bedding material was placed in a test chamber for each material, and cow manure was then added to the bedding material. Ammonia concentration in the chambers was measured daily for five consecutive days. In the second experiment, ammonia gas was introduced into the chambers filled with bedding materials to quantify the ammonia adsorption by the bedding materials. The results showed that all nine materials were effective in reducing ammonia release from manure, but higher density materials seemed to perform better than bulk materials. Reduction in ammonia by bedding materials was mostly attributed to gas adsorption.
