Mr. Ronan Boyle:

It will take place in the tank. However, from the point of the amount of ammonia emitted from housing and storage, typically two thirds, or close to 70%, of ammonia comes from the floor and one third comes from the tank. Therefore, it is significantly reduced. With the application of both technologies together, the ammonia from the tank can be reduced by 51% and from the floor by more than 30%.

On the Deputy’s question on the slurry technology system, there are no additives used to enhance the slurry or that a farmer has to manually add periodically to it, in the sense that some people put in slurry bugs and such, which need to be put in at a certain time and needs to be mixed and activated and stuff like that. There is no labour intervention, if you want to call it that, by the farmer. A system is set up to run and treat the slurry. It will eliminate the need for agitation.
