Fayetteville researchers working to solve poultry pollution issue
Fayetteville researchers are dedicated to tackling the pollution dilemma caused by the poultry industry, especially in the Illinois River basin. In Arkansas, Western farms have been accused of polluting waterways with chicken manure. This issue extends beyond Arkansas, as seen in Maryland where 84% of poultry operations fail water pollution inspections. Researchers aim to improve regulations and develop sustainable practices to mitigate the environmental impact of poultry farming.
