Free range chicken farms - odour emissions and nutrient management

Abstract

This report focuses on odour emissions and nutrient management from free range meat chicken farms. Specifically – odour emissions from the sheds and free range area as well as potential nitrogen and phosphorus loss from the range areas in the soil and in runoff. There is currently a lack of information relating to free range meat chicken farms when it comes to odour emissions and nutrient loss. Improved understanding of the emissions from free range farms will support the continued growth of the free range sector in Australia.
