Methods are described for sampling and analysing rumen gases. The analysis requires less than 15 minutes for the determination of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulphide, i.e., for all gases occurring in the rumen. The method is sensitive and requires only a small quantity of sample, and the sample volume need not be known. The presence of water or other vapours in the sample does not influence the results. Relative thermal detector responses have been determined for gases which occur in the rumen. These eliminate the necessity for the calibration of gas chromatographs using thermal detection. The first complete analysis of rumen gas is presented.

Direct measurements of the ventilatory response to variations in CO2 tension independent of changes in O2 tension are easily obtained by breathing mixtures of carbon dioxide in 100% oxygen. Direct determination of the respiratory response to O2, however, is not possible due to alternations in CO2 tension resulting from changes in ventilation. Therefore, an attempt has been made to determine this response empirically by a combined analysis of breath-holding and ventilatory data. Comparison of experimentally determined responses to various combinations of O2 and CO2 tensions agree quite well with those predicted by this approach and indicate that oxygen plays a small but definite role in the regulation of eupnic breathing at sea level.

The reduction of ammonia and greenhouse gases emissions resulting from the livestock breeding is conditioned by the performance of many experiments for the reducing technologies verification. The utilisation of biotechnological agents in the livestock breeding enables to reduce not only ammonia but in many cases also the principal greenhouse gases. In the paper is presented the system and methodology of the measurements, the choice of more than eighty authorised measurements, and the determination of the emission factors for methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, and nitrogen oxide from pig and poultry breeding.
