Environmental considerations of livestock producers

Regulatory agencies and citizens have placed great emphasis on sustainability of natural resources. Individuals involved in animal husbandry should understand the basic components associated with air and water quality issues. An increase in regulations governing land, air, and water resources increases the need for educators, researchers, and producers to realize impacts of current and potential legislation. Regulations and enforcement should be based on sound scientific data. Research scientists should play an active role in designing and carrying out research. Sustainability of land and economics of production are better incentives to entice producers to change than are regulations. Educational opportunities exist to promote environmental stewardship and the importance of maintaining natural resources. This paper will review current air and water quality regulations and provide examples of current activities that focus on environmental stewardship. Individuals should understand the importance of cooperative work to ensure that realistic enforcement and future regulation development be economically feasible and environmentally sound.
