Estudio sobre el control de olores en galpones destinados a crianza avícola para avicultores de pequeña escala, utilizando productos químicos en el control de NH3 en la finca villa Tere de la vereda Santa Cecilia – Villavicencio

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to reduce the levels of ammonia produced by birds in the sheds in a small-scale poultry activity by means of 3 chemical products, which were Calcium Sulfate (CaSO₄), Efficient Microorganisms (EM) and Sulfate of Aluminum (Al₂(SO₄)₃), this investigation was at Finca Villa Tere, located in the municipality of Villavicencio-Meta. We worked with 120 birds from 1 day to 45 days of age, in 4 sheds of 3m x 2m each with 30 birds, being labeled as follows, for the house with Calcium Sulfate (G1), with Efficient Microorganisms ( G2), with Aluminum Sulfate (G3) and finally the control shed (GT) being the experimental shed with which the data was crossed. Measurements were made daily from the arrival of the birds until the end of the production, taking the measurements at the height of the head of the birds and at the level of the husk bed, the grams of ammoniacal nitrogen produced by the birds were taken into account birds in order to obtain the first dosage of each shed, whereas the birds grew the dosage was increased, 8 applications were made from the moment they began to record ammonia data and finally collected all the data obtained in the field, performing a descriptive analysis based on the Microsoft Excel tool and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistical software. At the end of the investigation, the following ammonia levels were obtained; for the shed (G1) 20 ppm, for the (G2) 8 ppm and for the (G3) 4 ppm, with respect to the shed (GT) that obtained 41 ppm, fulfilling the objective of reducing the ammonia levels obtained during the production.
