Technology	Livestock Category	Environmental Impact	Documentation	Remarks
Intellifarm by Agrifarm	Slaghtering pigs	Ammonia: 67 % in combination with Agri Airclean aircleaner. When using another air cleaner the ammonia effect can be calculated: Overall effect = 0,86 × E − 11. Odour: 53 % in combination with Agri Airclean aircleaner. When using another air cleaner the odour effect can be calculated: Overall effect = 0,53 × E + 9.	MELT Expert Recommandation	Admitted to List of Environmental Technologies in 2019.
Cooling of manure (flush tube barns)	Pigs	Ammonia: Up to 30 %. The reduction is calculated on the basis of the formula: 0,85x-0,004x2 (x=W/m2) Odour: Up to 20 %. The reduction is calculated on the basis of the formula: 0,77x	MELT Expert Recommendation	Admitted to List of Environmental Technologies in 2018.
Cooling of manure (wire-type barn cleaner)	Pigs	Ammonia: Up to 34 %. The reduction is calculated on the basis of the formula: 1,66x-0,02x²) No reduction of odour emissions	MELT Expert Recommendation	Admitted to List of Environmental Technologies in 2018.

No reduction of odour emissions	Documentation of the technology by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency	Temporarily admitted to List of Environmental Technologies by special agreement with the Danish Environmental Protection Agency.
Point exhaust ventilation in livestock housing systems for fattening pigs	Pigs	Reduction of ammonia emissions depend on the efficiency of the air cleaner attached. The reduction is calculated on the basis of the formula: Overall effect = 0.7 × E – 12 Reduction of odour emissions depend on the efficiency of the air cleaner attached. The reduction is calculated on the basis of the formula: Overall effect = 0.39 × E + 9	MELT Expert Recommendation	Admitted to List of Environmental Technologies in 2014.
