Abstract:
It is important to identify new and practical ways of improving air quality in pig sheds to reduce the incidence and severity of respiratory diseases, improve production efficiency and animal welfare, and reduce the potential Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) problem arising from long-term human exposure to airborne pollutants in piggery buildings (Donham et al. 1989). Ozone is widely used to extend the storage life of various agricultural products, by reducing the bacteria load in food storage facilities (Ricel et al. 1982). The aim of the study was to investigate the benefits of adding ozone to incoming air in piggery buildings and its effect on the parameters affecting air quality.
