Dust control strategies for livestock building: a review.

Summary

Dust in animal buildings should be controlled to levels that affect health only minimally. Dust control strategies include reducing the rate of emission, effective ventilation and air cleaning. Source control strategies include use of feed additives, cleaning dusty surfaces and spraying water or oil over dusty surfaces. Ventilation control includes purge ventilation and effective room air distribution. Air cleaning strategies involve filtration, electrostatic precipitation or wet scrubbing. Other research and development needs include: characterization of dust particles, dust sources and sinks; and development of sensors and control devices that incorporate the dust control technology into the environmental control system.
