CAFO
Author: Daniel Imhoff
Publisher: Earth Aware Editions
ISBN: 9781601090584
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
CAFO provides an unprecedented view of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations where an increasing percentage of the world’s meat, milk, eggs, and fish are produced. As the photos and essays in this powerful book demonstrate, the rise of the CAFO industry has become one of the most pressing issues of our time. Industrial livestock production is now a leading source of climate changing emissions, a source of water pollution, and a significant contributor to diet-related diseases, and the spread of food-borne illnesses. The intensive concentrations of animals in such crammed and filthy conditions dependent on antibiotic medicines and steady streams of subsidized industrial feeds poses serious moral and ethical considerations for all of us. CAFO takes readers on a behind-the-scenes journey into the alarming world of animal factory farming and offers a compelling vision for a food system that is humane, sound for farmers and communities, and safer for both consumers and the environment.

Pollution Abatement from Cattle Feedlots in Northeastern Colorado and Nebraska
Author: Lynn K. Porter
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Animal waste
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
Climatic factors, feedlot runoff, and organic material in the runoff were evaluated in experimental and commercial feedlots. The effects of slope, stocking rates, terraces, basins, and holding ponds were evaluated to obtain best controls for containing runoff. The organic manure-soil interface severely restricts the movement of water, nitrates, organic substances, and air into the soil beneath feedlots. Management practices, such as good drainage, that enhance aeration will decrease the evolution of volatile compounds.

Book Description
Pollution from cattle feedlots is a serious problem in certain areas of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. However, feedlots can be built and operated in a manner which will eliminate the majority of the pollution problems. These guidelines have been prepared to assist in bringing cattle feedlot operations into harmony with the environment. The guidelines are a general statement of location, design, and operation recommendations for individual feedlot operators,--Letter of Transmittal.
