Does overwintering change the inoculum effect on methane emissions from stored liquid manure? | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane (CH4), from manure storage can be significantly reduced by removing the microbial communities (inoculum) from liquid dairy manure.
  • A study tested the impact of fall removal of this inoculum on GHG emissions, finding a 34% decrease in total emissions and a 29% lower CH4 conversion factor compared to inoculated control tanks.
  • Though fall inoculum removal was effective, it was less efficient than spring removal, indicating that the timing of inoculum removal is crucial for maximizing methane mitigation, but implementing this on a larger scale may be challenging.

Article Abstract

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially methane (CH ), from manure storage facilities can be substantial. Methane production requires adapted microbial communities ("inoculum") to be present in the manure. Complete removal of liquid dairy manure (thus removing all inoculum) from storage tanks in the spring has been shown to significantly reduce CH emissions over the following warm season. This study examined whether the same mitigation effect would occur after fall removal of liquid dairy manure. Emissions of CH , nitrous oxide (N O), ammonia (NH ), and CO were measured from six 11.88-m tanks equipped with flow-through chambers. There were three inoculated controls (20% inoculum) and three uninoculated treatments, where inoculum was completely removed in the fall/winter (0% inoculum). Direct N O and NH (indirect N O) were minor contributors to the total GHG budget, contributing <2% on a CO equivalent (CO e) basis. Removal of inoculum led to a 34% decrease in total emissions on a CO e basis and to a 29% decrease in the CH conversion factor compared with the inoculated control (0.37 vs. 0.52; p = .01). Overall, removing inoculum in the fall reduced CH emissions from manure storage tanks; however, fall inoculum removal was less effective than in a previous study where inoculum was removed in the spring. The timing of inoculum removal may affect the efficiency of this CH mitigation strategy. However, this method may be impractical for larger manure storage tanks. Further study is required to overcome challenges of time-sensitive, complete inoculum removal from farm-scale storage tanks.
