ABSTRACT
Livestock buildings are an important source of ammonia, methane and nitrous oxide. In naturally ventilated buildings for dairy cattle interaction of weather conditions and microclimate parameters in livestock buildings have an impact on the emission of ammonia and greenhouse gases. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the seasons on the emission of greenhouse gases (CH4, N2O) and ammonia from barns for dairy cows. The study was conducted in 6 free-stall barns located in the Wielkopolska Voivodship, during: spring, summer and fall. The median of CH4 emission factor was 14.8±2.3 g·h-1·cow-1 in spring, 16.9±3.2 g·h-1·cow-1 in summer, 17.3±2.1 g·h-1·cow- in fall. For N2O and NH3 values were 0.085±0.067 g·h-1·cow-1 in spring, 0.120±0.060 g·h-1·cow-1 in summer, 0.062±0.049 g·h-1·cow-1 in fall and 1.13±0.34 g·h-1·cow-1 in spring, 1.17±0.45 g·h -1·cow-1 in summer, 0.77±0.37 g·h-1·cow-1 in fall, respectively. The analysis for all barns showed statistically significant differences in the values of emission factors between seasons (α = 0.05). For NH3 and CH4 they were not observed only between spring and summer, and for N2O between spring and fall (α = 0.05).
