Project Title: PROJECT LE FARMS: Strategies to reduce ammonia gas emission in Irish pig farms

Overview: I am working on strategies to reduce ammonia gas emissions in Irish pig farms. I am an animal scientist with quality experience in pig, poultry, and goat production.

Ireland has committed to a certain percentage in reducing ammonia gas emissions and pig production contributes to 6.4% of ammonia production. It is necessary to find means to reduce the emission of this gas to save biodiversity, humans, and other living organisms from the detrimental effects of ammonia. My project LE farm team and I are working towards developing strategies to minimize ammonia in pig farms.

I am from Nigeria. I am an empath, intelligent, friendly, very compassionate, persevering, and motivated individual. When life is less busy, I love hiking, seeing movies, traveling with friends, meeting new people, working on farms, and having deep or inconsequential conservation with anyone.
