Short summary

A special model called AMmonia–CLIMate (AMCLIM) has been developed to understand and calculate NH₃ emissions from livestock farming. It is estimated that about 30 % of excreted N from livestock is lost due to NH₃ emissions from housing, manure management and land application of manure. High NH₃ volatilization often occurs in hot regions, while poor management practices also result in significant N losses through NH₃ emissions.
