The webcast series went on the road to the National Poultry Waste Management Symposium in Greensboro, NC. We asked four of the presenters at the conference to give a shortened version of their talk and then engaged them in a roundtable discussion about environmental issues facing the poultry industry with questions submitted from the live audience as well as the “virtual” one. Originally broadcast October 26, 2010. More…Continue reading “Live from the National Poultry Waste Symposium”

Given all the discussion about the extent of the effect that greenhouse gases may have on worldwide climate and debate about ways to limit climate change, a natural question is: What is the role of animal agriculture as a source of greenhouse gases? This presentation was originally broadcast on June 11, 2010. More…Continue reading “Clearing the Air on Animal Ag and Greenhouse Gases”
This webcast gives the latest information on the effectiveness and value of Vegetative Environmental Buffers, especially as an approach to managing air emissions from animal production facilities. This presentation was originally broadcast on February 26, 2010. More…Continue reading “Mitigating Air Emissions with Vegetative Environmental Buffers”
Air emissions from animal agriculture The materials on this page were developed to assist educators and professors who include an introduction to include ammonia emissions as a topic in their classrooms or programs.
These materials were developed by the Air Quality Education in Animal Agriculture (AQEAA) project with with financial support from the National Research Initiative Competitive Grant 2007-55112-17856 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
For questions about the materials on this page contact Dr. Ron Sheffield, Louisiana State University Ag Center. For questions about the AQEAA project, contact Dr. Rick Stowell, Unviersity of Nebraska (rstowell2@unl.edu).
Includes an update on implementation (or lack thereof) of the manure management section of the newly released Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting rule, with an industry perspective on impacts of the rule. The webcast also highlights a USDA ARS model on calculating greenhouse gas emissions and plans to develop resources to help affected producers comply with the EPA rule. This presentation was originally broadcast on December 18, 2009. More…Continue reading “Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule Update and Carbon Footprint of Dairy Systems”
Odors are the most common nuisance complaint associated with animal feeding operations (AFOs), but is one of the most challenging to measure. Unlike other air emissions from AFOs odor is not one easily identifiable gas or molecular compound. Instead, odor is made up of many (hundreds!) of individual odorous compounds. Complicating this scenario is the fact that each person on the receiving end of odor has a different perspective, different tolerance, and different interpretation of what they are smelling. The following materials were developed for college instructors to utilize in their classrooms when presenting about odors.
These materials were developed by the Air Quality Education in Animal Agriculture (AQEAA) project with with financial support from the National Research Initiative Competitive Grant 2007-55112-17856 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
For questions about the materials on this page contact Dr. Eileen Wheeler, Pennsylvania State University. For questions about the AQEAA project, contact Dr. Rick Stowell, Unviersity of Nebraska (rstowell2@unl.edu).
