Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions Through Novel Maure-Based Fertilizers

Abstract

The Net Zero Initiative was created by the United States dairy industry to study more sustainable practices with the goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this study was to determine if new technologies for creating manure-based fertilizers resulted in lower greenhouse gas emissions during feed production. Two products, DAF and Sedron, were applied to plots with a manure history and plots without. Gas flux data for CO2, N2O, and CH4 were taken throughout the growing season using a portable gas chamber and analyzers. Sedron had the highest emissions and DAF had lower and more stable emission levels.
