Air Quality and Livestock Farming

Air Quality and Livestock Farming

Air Quality and Livestock Farming examines the relationship between air quality, livestock health, animal welfare, production performance, and environmental sustainability. It explores airborne pollutants in and around livestock facilities, including ammonia, methane, nitrous oxide, dust, microorganisms, endotoxins, antibiotic residues, and other potentially harmful substances. The book focuses on monitoring, managing, and reducing these pollutants to improve conditions for animals, farm workers, nearby communities, and the environment.
