| Popis: | Measuring the emissions of thousands of animal houses is needed to obtain representative emission factors and relevant categories of animal farms for emission inventories. This scale is also necessary to develop a comprehensive understanding of all facotrs that influence ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions at the farm scale. A robust and low-cost method was developed in France to measure emissions from poultry, bovine and swine houses. A database and associated software is presented here that helps to apply this method to a large number of houses, while protecting the data when the database is used by different companies or institutions. It is based on freeware: an Ubuntu system, OpenOffice for testing equations, PostgreSQL and PgAdmin for database management with “user-only” or “project-only” restricted access to data, and C++ with CodeBlocks and wxWidgets for the calculation and interface modules developed. As for typical Ubuntu software, all messages in the interfaces developed can be translated into several languages using PoEdit. All systems, software and data can be stored on a bootable USB flash drive or SD card with at least two partitions, one for the system (FAT32) compressed into a squashfs file, and one for the modified files (EXT2). The data are divided into three categories: national references (e.g. manure composition), farm references (e.g. specific house characteristics), and observations (e.g. gas concentrations). Training is recommended to begin using the software more quickly. Further development is required to adapt this tool to monitor the results of mitigation strategies and improve their efficiency. |
