%X Defined criteria for the application of the CO2 balance method in a naturally ventilated barn provided reliable data. This specification enabled the acquisition and quantification of CH4 and NH3 in a naturally ventilated dairy barn, as well as detecting decreasing NH3 emissions affected by supplementing an Acacia mearnsii condensed tannin extract to a dairy cattle ration. Moreover, long-term measurements were possible and can be used to examine feed-related mitigation strategies at a barn level in the future
