INTRODUCTION
The largest source of ammonia emissions is the agricultural sector, accounting for approximately 90% of the total global ammonia emissions. This has become a growing concern due to their environmental impact and contribution to various issues, including air and water pollution.
As a colorless gas with a pungent smell, ammonia is naturally released during farming activities, particularly from livestock operations and the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers.
In this article, we will explore the sources of ammonia emissions, their effects on the environment, and practical ways to reduce their impact with our triterpenic saponins based product line: BioQuil®.
Reducing ammonia emissions in agriculture requires a multi-faceted approach that combines technological advancements and sustainable practices, like implementing covered storages for manure management, adopting precision application methods for fertilizers or developing a nutrient management plan for specific crops and soil types.
However, one of the most effective strategies to accomplish this if you are in the livestock farming business is using feed additives, such as compounds containing nitrification or urease inhibitors, capable of interfering with the conversion of nitrogen compounds in animal manure.
To fulfill such a critical goal for the agriculture industry, innovative products like BioQuil® and BioQuil Gold® offer natural solutions:
BioQuil®:
A proprietary solution made from pure pulverized Quillaja saponaria. This natural product not only decreases ammonia emissions but also enhances productive parameters, such as body weight gain and feed conversion ratio.
By improving nitrogen intake and providing antibacterial properties, BioQuil® positively impacts gut health and acts as an immunostimulant. It is suitable for all types of poultry, including broilers, laying hens, and turkeys.
BioQuil Gold®:
A specialized blend of Quillaja saponaria and Yucca schidigera saponins. This unique combination offers outstanding abilities to decrease ammonia emissions with a B50 value below 4.
Additionally, it improves intestinal health, nutrient absorption, immune response, and other productive parameters.
As a result, BioQuil Gold® contributes to more efficient and sustainable animal production.
