The environmental pollution potential of feedlots - odour,
flies, noise, runoff, ground water and soil contamination - is
discussed. It is concluded that the majority of these problems can be
avoided in new operations by careful site selection with particular
attention to climatic conditions, waste handling, runoff retention and
"foreign" drainage diversion.
