The study deals with emission factor determination at different breeding technology of lying hens. Concentration of ammonia and greenhouse gases were investigated under the laboratory condition for hens breeding of enriched cages, in comparison with conventional breeding technology with exhaust air cross flow (1), technology for layered straw on to dropping belt (2) and technology with exhaust air under the cage's grate (3).

Keywords: enriched cages, greenhouse emission, ammonia, emission factor
Grants and funding:

This paper was supported by research grant No. VEGA 1/0609/12: "Analysis of harmful gases production in rural area and proposal of scientifically substained technological measures from its minimisation" of Slovak Grant Agency for Science.
