Research Projects

This project addresses the risks posed by the spreading of manure and emissions released into the environment to the biosecurity of farms, as well as to the health of workers and nearby populations.

This project addresses the risks posed by new breeding practices that were developed to improve animal welfare.

Project, conducted in collaboration with a Belgian team, to develop an integrated tool for measuring the air quality in livestock buildings.

Development of optimized cleaning methods that are readily measurable with an effective real-time indicator.

Development of a strategy for rapidly producing biomass using restoration and irrigation.

The purpose of our project was to generate benchmark data on phosphorus discharge from bison farms in Québec.

This project will draw recommendations to reduce fugitive emissions through technical means or agricultural practices.

The aim of this project was to identify manure management strategies that boost productivity on Québec dairy farms and reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases.

To provide information on the fertilizing value and environmental impact of spreading pig manure at different times, the project compared the effect of mineral fertilizer in early fall, late fall, and in the spring.

One of the project objectives is to calculate GHG emissions in various beef production systems based on the results of a literature, methodology, and database review.

The objective of the project was to demonstrate that next generation hog barn design (slatted floors over 2/3 or more of the area) generate less odor.

IRDA and CRIUCPQ have been working on developing an air treatment unit to reduce pig farm emissions.

Stored pig manure is a major source of greenhouse gases. The main objective of this project was to demonstrate the long-term performance of a biofilter.
