New ISU Extension Publications Available on Animal Agriculture and Air Quality
Three new Iowa State University Extension publications on animal agriculture and air quality are now available.
"Being the leader in both egg and swine production in the nation, it is natural for Iowa State University to play a leading role in the region and beyond in addressing animal feeding operation-related air quality issues," said Hongwei Xin, professor, Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering. "This helps ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of our livestock and poultry operations."
Gaseous Emissions from Animal Agriculture, (PM 1935) discusses types of emissions from livestock facilities, causes of emissions and how these emissions move or disperse. This publication is available at: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Publications/PM1935.pdf
Air Quality Resources for Iowa Animal Agriculture (PM 1936) provides a list of current publications related to air quality, links to air quality resources in Iowa and links to research reports. This publication is available at: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Publications/PM1936.pdf
The final publication, Air Quality and Animal Agriculture (EDC 162H) is a four-page publication documenting past and current research efforts in air quality studies at Iowa State University. The publication also outlines plans for future air quality initiatives. This publication is available at: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Publications/EDC162H.pdf.
Copies of ISU Extension publications may be ordered through any ISU Extension county office or the Extension Distribution Center, by calling (515) 294-5247.
