Artificial neural networks are preferred over other alternatives (sensors, devices, etc.) for determining ammonia concentrations and emissions in livestock farms due to economic and administrative reasons.
It is particularly preferred in small and medium-sized enterprises due to its high economic profitability.
On the other hand, as the use of artificial neural networks in estimating greenhouse gas emissions becomes widespread, it is anticipated that their use will become widespread in other sectors and even in the calculation of national greenhouse gas inventories of countries.
