In the past odours resulting from livestock production was less of an problematic. However, over time poultry facilities have intensified significantly. With this increase also came an increase in manure production, odours, and the possibility of water contamination. Zoning and environmental agencies have not been able to develop regulations to keep up with the expansion of these facilities. For the time being companies continue to build large facilities without taking any of these factors into conisderation. This half-hazard approach to livestock development may lead to the development of conflicts in the future.
