Connecting agri-professionals advancing environmental stewardship in animal agriculture
Air emissions from animal agriculture operations and manure storage include gases and particulate matter (dust). The amounts and types of gases can be affected by many different factors, including animal diet. Altering animal diets to reduce the levels of air emissions can be done by finding ways to more closely match animal needs with nutrients available in their diet.…
Air emissions from animal animal feedlots are sources of many different emissions including particulate matter (dust).
The materials on this page were developed to assist educators and professors who wish to include dust and particulate emissions and their control as a topic in their classrooms or educational programs.…
Air emissions from animal agriculture operations consist of many different gases as well as suspended particulates (dust or microbes). One of these gases, ammonia, is gaining greater attention for its role in odor, but also as a precursor of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5). PM 2.5 has implications in haze and visibility as well as human health.…
Air emissions from animal agriculture operations and their associated manure storage are being examined more closely as a way to mitigate potentially harmful gases and odors. Manure additives and litter amendments go right to the source and are used to change one or more characteristics of manure to try and reduce emissions emissions of odorous gases.…
