Assessment of the impact of poultry farms on some environmental components by the example of CJSC Novorossiysk poultry farm

Abstract

Failure to take appropriate measures for waste utilisation and neutralisation has led to the fact that many poultry farms have now become sources of environmental pollution, thereby causing serious economic, environmental and social damage. In this paper we have assessed the impact of poultry farms on some components of the environment by the example of the CJSC Poultry Farm “Novorossiysk”. The main sources of impact of the poultry farm “Novorossiysk” on the environment are identified. The activity of the enterprise as a source of waste generation is studied. The level of atmospheric pollution created by emissions of the poultry farm was analysed. Easily and moderately soluble forms of elements and acid-alkaline conditions in soil were determined. The results of biotesting substrate toxicity by sprouts of indicator plants were analysed. Measures to improve the environmental situation on the territory of the CJSC Poultry Farm “Novorossiysk” and in the zone of its direct influence were recommended.
