Dust is one of the components present in poultry production that increases risk of adverse respiratory disease occurrence. Dust originates from poultry residues, molds, and feathers and is biologically active as it contains microorganisms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

H 2 S, CO 2, CO, CH 4 and vapours (associated with pesticides, disinfectants, and litter treatments) are also present and can cause health problems. Exposure to dusts and gases results in responses in the respiratory system. [poultryworld.net]

Here are some other suggestions: Avoid working with moldy hay in a closed environment such as a barn Proper ventilation helps when moldy dust in present in a building Use a professional-grade respirator Storing crops in silage rather than bales is an [marshfieldclinic.org]

  • Chronic Cough

    Workers from cage-based facilities also reported greater prevalences of current and chronic cough and phlegm, as well as significantly lower FEF25-75 and FEV1/FVC values than nonfarming control subjects. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Symptoms include: Weight loss Low energy Increasing shortness of breath Weakness Chronic cough The condition can last months or longer and worsen if you're still exposed to moldy dust. Permanent lung damage is possible with continued exposure. [marshfieldclinic.org]

  • Pulmonary Disorder

    Prevalence rate of obstructive pulmonary disorders was higher in individuals with longer exposure regardless of smoking status. In addition, a high prevalence for asthmatic (42.5%) and nasal (51.1%) symptoms was noted in poultry workers. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
