About
Francesco da Borso is a leading researcher in agricultural engineering, with a primary focus on livestock housing design and manure management systems. His work centers on mitigating the environmental impact of intensive farming, particularly through the reduction of ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions. Da Borso’s most cited study, "Ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions from slatted dairy barn floors cleaned by robotic scrapers" (2018, 31 citations), provides critical insights into how frequent manure removal can significantly curb harmful gas emissions from fermenting organic matter. This research directly addresses key challenges in animal welfare, farmer health, and climate change. By demonstrating the efficacy of robotic cleaning technologies, da Borso has advanced practical solutions for sustainable dairy farming. His contributions are instrumental for engineers, policymakers, and farmers seeking to balance productivity with environmental stewardship, making his work a cornerstone in the field of agricultural emissions control.
