Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Community
Connecting agri-professionals advancing environmental stewardship in animal agriculture.
This webcast highlights two planning tools – OFFSET and NOFT – currently being used in western Cornbelt states to encourage well-planned siting of facilities and voluntary adoption of odor control technology. More… Continue reading “Planning Livestock & Poultry Facilities for Reduced Odor Risk”
Interested in knowing more about air emissions from poultry operations and why there is growing interest in reducing ammonia emission? What are current ammonia mitigation options at poultry facilities? What promising options are being developed? Join us for a webinar aimed to address these questions as we explore ammonia mitigation options in broiler chicken and laying hen housing systems. More… Continue reading “Controlling Ammonia and Air Emissions in Poultry Facilities”

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”
Many people are concerned about greenhouse gases and climate change. The carbon footprint of animal agriculture is an issue being used by many to encourage people to eat less meat. What is the true footprint of US animal production? How does production efficiency impact the numbers? This presentation was originally broadcast on July 31, 2009. More… Continue reading “Carbon Footprint of Animal Agriculture Webcast”
How do researchers measure air emissions from open lots? What are they learning about ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and particulate matter (dust) emissions? This presentation was originally broadcast on March 27, 2009. Continue reading “Air Emissions From Cattle Feedyards and Dairies”
Hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) is produced from animal manures under anaerobic conditions. Hydrogen sulfide is an odorant and is known as an indoor air pollutant where it can reach toxic, and even lethal, concentrations. But is it more than just an odorant at normal outdoor concentrations? This presentation was originally broadcast on September 19, 2008. More… Continue reading “Hydrogen Sulfide, How Serious an Outdoor Air Quality Concern”
