Air quality has a direct influence on health, welfare and
production performance of livestock as the high concentrations of
noxious gases, dust and airborne microorganisms are likely to
reduce production efficiency and the general welfare of farm
animals. Long term exposure to particulates in livestock buildings
might also affect the respiratory health of farm workers. Dust in
animal buildings contains many biologically active substances such
as bacteria, fungi, endotoxins and residues of antibiotics (as a
result of veterinary treatments) that are suspected to be hazardous
to human health. Furthermore, air pollutants emitted from livestock
buildings can reduce air, water and soil quality and can
potentially undermine the health of nearby residents. Airborne
emissions include ammonia, methane, nitrous oxide, particulates
like dust and microorganisms. In addition, other potentially
harmful substances such as heavy metals, antibiotic residues and
components of disinfectants might be also emitted from livestock
building that are potentially damaging to ecosystems. In this book,
key aspects of agricultural air quality, such as monitoring,
managing and reducing airborne pollutants in and around livestock
facilities are reviewed. Features: addressing the raising awareness
of the importance of optimal health and welfare for lifestock
species with contributions from international specialists and
researchers providing up-to-date information for professionals
involved in modern animal producti This book will be useful for
farming professionals, academics, students, policy makers, business
leaders, regulatory bodies and agricultural consultants.
