Innovative and practical management approaches to reduce nitrogen excretion by ruminants (REDNEX)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
Dairying is an important sector of EU agriculture, but intensification has been accompanied by an increase in N surplus. This has a negative environmental impact on groundwater (pollution with nitrates), surface water (eutrophication) and on the atmosphere (de-nitrification and ammonia volatilisation). The EU seeks to stimulate measures that improve management of nutrients, waste and water as a st ...
