Animal Agriculture and the Environment

This extensive collection of white papers from the National Center for Manure & Animal Waste Management assess the state of the science for animal waste management priorities. The assessment is intended to serve as a foundation for directing future research and knowledge dissemination activities. The collection of white papers represents the collaboration of leading experts over a four-year period and was supported by USDA's Fund for Rural American. The 26 white papers include coverage of air quality and emissions, antibiotic resistance, economics, CAFO regulations, emerging contaminants, earthen manure structures, land application, legal issues, strategies and technologies, various treatment systems, pathogens, odor mitigation, and more. 2006.
