“…Particulate matter (PM) emitted from intensive broiler production operations contain feather and skin fragments, faeces, feed particles, microorganisms and other pollutants, which can adversely impact poultry health as well as the health of farm workers and nearby inhabitants. Odours are another problem that can have an adverse impact on health and quality of life of workers and surrounding population [9].…”

“…Odour emissions from litter are complex due to the existence of multiple odorant sources within litter (i.e., fresh excreta, friable litter and cake), formation and emission of numerous odorants, and significant spatial and temporal variability of moisture content, porosity, pH, ventilation airflow, temperature, humidity and bird activity (Figure 2) [9,38].…”

Broiler housing is a significant source of airborne pollutants from animal production, which lead to degradation of indoor air quality and outdoor emissions, particularly ammonia, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulphide, odours and particulate matter. In this chapter, we first analyse the current state of the art on the consequences of these pollutants on broiler farming, farm workers, and the environment. This includes the factors affecting pollutants generation, quantification, and mitigation measures suppressing airborne pollutants. Next, we describe different best available techniques for environmental protection and sustainability of broiler production, namely feeds and feeding management, feed supplements, bedding management and treatment of exhaust air. Thus, broiler farms should select mitigation strategies based on several considerations, such as location, climate conditions, environmental policies and financial resources.

“…El sector porcino contribuye a la seguridad alimentaria de la población y sostiene el bienestar de millones de granjeros, pero también causa contaminación por nitrógeno (Uwizeye et al, 2019). La avicultura es uno de los métodos de cría de animales más eficientes y proporciona seguridad nutricional a un número significativo de la población mundial; sin embargo; sin embargo, genera una huella ambiental significativa por los materiales de desecho, como la basura y el estiércol de las aves de corral (Gržinić et al, 2023). El uso ineficiente del nitrógeno de los sistemas de producción lechera al pastoreo contaminan el medio ambiente, asociados con los parches de orina (Marshall et al, 2022).…”

“…On one hand, the spread of factory farming and industrial agriculture has led to affordable meat across the globe, where chicken has a lower carbon footprint than beef (Rose et al., 2022). Yet, industrial poultry is also a ‘monster at our door’ (Davis, 2005): a vulnerable system that is prone to the emergence and spread of new and deadly diseases (Muaz et al., 2018), while emitting ammonia, nitric oxide, methane and other pollutants into soil and water (Gržinić et al., 2023). Covid‐19 has jolted the world into the realisation that we can no longer turn a blind eye to the nexus between agribusiness and zoonotic diseases that increasingly travel through global supply chains (Sattar et al., 2021).…”

A policy and research agenda for Asia's poultry industry

Meat consumption and production in Asia have boomed over the last decade to meet growing regional and global demand. Asia now supplies around 40% of the global broiler or meat chicken industry. Dominant policy frameworks such as ‘One Health’ aim to manage the health risks associated with factory livestock farming, which has rightly become a major concern because of regular disease outbreaks. Yet this approach provides a limited basis for addressing broader risks and challenges associated with what we term the Asian ‘broiler complex’. This includes the intertwined networks of feed production, factory farming and meat distribution nodes through which health and environmental risks can accumulate and be amplified. By applying this broader lens, we highlight the need to better understand the industry's pressing environmental, animal welfare, social and health challenges to inform more integrated policy approaches.
