A new cost-effective method to mitigate ammonia loss from intensive cattle feedlots: application of lignite

In open beef feedlot systems, more than 50% of dietary nitrogen (N) is lost as ammonia (NH(3)). Here we report an effective and economically-viable method to mitigate NH(3) emissions by the application of lignite. We constructed two cattle pens (20 × 20 m) to determine the effectiveness of lignite i...
