Abstract

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a significant environmental crisis that has become a major concern in many countries. A primary contributor to GHG emissions is animal farming and meat production. The purpose of this study was to estimate GHG emissions, as well as water and soil pollutant emissions, resulting from these activities in Urzouyeih County using a linear optimization model. Based on the results, solid manure (feces) from each cattle animal emits 392.82 kg/year of soil and water pollutants, with chemical oxygen being the primary component of these emissions. In contrast, the pollutants emitted from the solid manure of sheep and goats are 11.06 kg and 9.93 kg, respectively, with total nitrogen being the main contributor. Furthermore, 99.55 kg, 8.38 kg, and 7.56 kg of pollutants enter water and soil from the liquid manure (urine) of cattle, sheep, and goats, respectively. Potassium (Kalium) was found to be the primary pollutant emitted from the liquid manure of all three animals. Additionally, methane emission from manure management and enteric fermentation for all three livestock in the area is 1.56 × 106 kg. Goats, due to their high population, emit 738,669 kg of methane. Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions resulting from animal farming in the area were estimated at 83,843 kg. Also, the carbon cost imposed on the region was investigated. This research can be precious for environmental decision-makers and policymakers.

Abstract [Persian]

انتشار گازهای گلخانه ای (GHG) یک بحران زیست محیطی مهم است که به یک نگرانی بزرگ در بسیاری از کشورها تبدیل شده است. یکی از عوامل اصلی انتشار گازهای گلخانه ای، دامپروری و تولید گوشت است. هدف از این مطالعه برآورد انتشار گازهای گلخانه ­ای و همچنین انتشار آلاینده­ های آب و خاک ناشی از این فعالیت ها در شهرستان ارزوئیه با استفاده از مدل بهینه سازی خطی است. نتایج نشان داد که کود جامد (مدفوع) از هر دام گاو 392/82 کیلوگرم در سال آلاینده خاک منتشر می کند که اکسیژن شیمیایی بیشترین انتشار را دارد. در مقابل، آلاینده­ های منتشر شده از کود جامد گوسفند و بز به ترتیب 11/06 و 9/93 کیلوگرم است که نیتروژن کل عامل اصلی آن است. همچنین، از کود مایع (ادرار) گاو، گوسفند و بز به ترتیب 99/55، 8/38 و 7/56 کیلوگرم آلاینده وارد آب و خاک می ­شود. پتاسیم (کالیوم) آلاینده اولیه منتشر شده از کود مایع هر سه دام بود. علاوه بر این، انتشار متان از مدیریت کود و تخمیر روده­ای برای هر سه دام در منطقه 106×1/56 کیلوگرم است. دام بز به دلیل جمعیت بالا، ۷۳۸۶۶۹ کیلوگرم متان منتشر می ­کند. انتشار اکسید نیتروژن (N2O) ناشی از پرورش فعالیت دامداری در این منطقه 83843 کیلوگرم برآورد شد. علاوه بر این، هزینه کربن تحمیل شده به منطقه بررسی شد. این تحقیق می ­تواند برای تصمیم ­گیران و سیاست­ گذاران زیست­ محیطی ارزشمند باشد.
