Consider the following statements:
1. Agricultural soils release nitrogen oxides into environment.
2. Cattle release ammonia into environment.
3. Poultry industry releases reactive nitrogen compounds into environment.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation
Due to presence of Nitrogenous fertilizers,
oxides of Nitrogen are released in atmosphere.
Cattles/Ruminants
Ruminant animals do not efficiently utilize
dietary nitrogen.
Nitrogen in manure can be converted to
ammonia through bacterial degradation,
primarily the conversion of urinary urea to
ammonia.
In poultry industry microorganisms releases
Nitrogen from organic matter (faecal matter) in
the atmosphere.
