Using a cleaner production preventive stategy for the reduction of the negative environmental impacts of agricultural production—using cattle husbandry as a case study

In this work the problem of the negative impact of cattle husbandry on the natural environment is presented. The main sort of waste discharged into the soil and water from animal production and its connected installations was discussed. Serious damage is also caused by the drainage of wetlands. Such practice causes damage to the natural environment. Necessary changes in agricultural practices with the implementation of Cleaner Production methodology must be introduced as a precaution against the negative influence on the environment, especially against soil and surface water pollution. Waste minimisation practices should be introduced into agricultural sector and that could effectively protect the natural environment from pollution.
