Airborne contaminants from livestock facilities, such as dust, gases and microbial pathogens, can be harmful to both humans and animals and also put the health of rural communities at risk. The main goal of this project is to mitigate these hazards by reducing airborne dust and microorganisms. Two emerging green technologies were adapted and improved for use in specific livestock facilities.
The Development & Assessment of Emerging Green Technologies to Reduce Aerosol Risks & Hazards in Livestock Production project is one part of Agrivita Canada Inc.’s Canadian AgriSafety Applied Science Program, led by a team of researchers from the University of Saskatchewan’s Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering (engineering.usask.ca/departments/cbe.php) with support from the Institut de recherche et de développement en agroenvironnement (IRDA, www.irda.qc.ca), the IUCPQ (www.iucpq.qc.ca), the Prairie Swine Centre (www.prairieswine.com) and the Canadian Centre for Rural and Agricultural Health (CCRAH, cchsa-ccssma.usask.ca). This video was prepared by the CCRAH for Agrivita Canada Inc. (www.agrivita.ca) and the Canadian AgriSafety Applied Science Program, which is supported under the Canadian Agricultural Strategic Priorities Program (CASPP).
