Chickens & greenhouse

Greetings,

Question: has anyone heard of using CO2 (piped from chicken house)
to increase growth of greenhouse plants? Apparently, there is a
farmer in Martha's Vineyard who takes the air from a chicken
house, pipes it through an earth burm to filter out ammonia, and then
into a greenhouse as a source of heat and increased CO2.

I am interested in finding more information about this process. Any
help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Deb Heleba
