Abstract
The major environmental issues connected with livestock and poultry feeding operations are: water quality, air quality, and sustainability of land and soil. Climate change and global warming is another emerging issue. Carbon dioxide and methane gas are given off from animal feeding operations. It's by no means a significant amount when you look at all the other sources of CO2 and methane worldwide, but still it's a contributing factor being studied by the EPA Office of Global Warming as well as animal scientists at Texas A&M University.
 Water use efficiency and availability are problems in many places -- it takes a well pumping at 70gpm continuously to supply each 10,000 head of feedlot cattle with no downtime or wastes.
