How do high NH3 levels affect animals and farm pollutant emissions?

The presence of high NH₃ levels poses a problem both inside and outside livestock farms.

Indoors, a high and prolonged concentration of ammonia in the air deteriorates environmental quality, causing stress in the animals. This stress promotes the occurrence of undesirable behaviors, such as tail-biting (caudophagia), as well as respiratory disorders, leading to significant health and economic repercussions.

Outside the farms, NH₃ emissions are an environmental pollutant that must be reduced to responsibly comply with current environmental regulations.
