dc.description.abstract	The negative effects of high concentration of bioaerosol on human and animal health, as well as on animal welfare and productivity are well documented (Donham et al. 1986; Cargill et al. 1998). Suspended airborne particles can also absorb toxic and noxious gases as well as bacteria components and act as vectors for these pollutants. Reducing the concentration of airborne particles in piggery buildings is therefore an important component of good management and can improve production efficiency and reduce the potentially harmful effects of long term exposure to humans (Donham et al. 1989). The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of spraying a mixture of oil and water directly onto pen floors on the concentration of airborne particles inside a weaner accommodation.
