Possibilities to Reduce Methane and Hydrogen Sulphide Emissions in Pig Farming By Application of Zeolite

This paper deals with the possibility of using environmentally friendly materials applied to the floor in pig housing to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. We have focused on the possibility of reducing the methane (CH4) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) emissions by application of zeolite. That has been applied at the rate of 1.2 kg on the floor. The results show that temperature and relative humidity have an impact on H2S and CH4 emissions. With zeolite treatment, we obtained a statistically significant difference in H2S emissions (P = 0.00 < α = 0.05) and CH4 (P = 0.00 < α = 0.05) between the zeolite-treated and untreated sections.
