摘要
The amount of global ammonia (NH3) emissions is growing continuously, similar to the damage to the environment, particularly humans and animals, caused by those emissions. Various problems derived from pollution by ammonia emissions have attracted increasing attention in recent years. In particular, accumulation of ammonia in poultry farms is a concern for the poultry industry as it can lead to possible damage due to reduced bird performance, damage to the respiratory tract and skin of birds, and thus loss of customers. As birds age, ammonia production increases due to factors such as feeding and mobility, requiring the application of solutions to reduce it such as the use of fans, feed supplements, and temperature adjustments to improve bird health. These solutions impose additional costs on poultry farms to combat ammonia emissions. This study presents a general economic growing quantity (EGQ) model that includes the cost of inhibition of ammonia production during the growing period. In addition, the model is formulated under an all-units discount policy, where the price of newborn items is related to the size of the order purchased from the supplier. Furthermore, the model assumed that some newborn items are dead when the lot is received because of stress experiences and incidents during the catching, loading, transportation, and unloading. Finally, two versions of the proposed general EGQ model are presented: EGQ with no discount and EGQ with known slaughter age.
