Major Goal and ObjectivesMajor Goal and Objectives
The overall goal of the studyThe overall goal of the study is to contribute to on going efforts to make dairy
operations sustainable by: (a) identifying probable areas that contribute to
environmental degradation; and, (b) recommending management practices to
mitigate these adverse effects.
The objectives are:The objectives are:
•(1)Quantify spatial and temporal variability CH4, H2S and NH3 emissions on dairy;
•(2) Correlate emissions with climatic, soil, water and livestock parameters; and,
•(3) Evaluate the influence of various management practices on the gaseous emissions.

Generic Benefits of TDL• Very high resolution - about 0.003 cm-1
– Enables measurement of individual spectral lines
– No spectral interference from other gases
– Linear over wide dynamic range
• Very sensitive - ppm to ppb levels
• Fast response times – typically 1 second
• High reliability - no moving parts
• Non-contact method - suitable for corrosives
• Amenable to fiber optics - multiple path capability
• Widely applicable - many species absorb in NIR
• Potential for multiple species
