“…For many years, the main focus of animal breeding has been to increase their productive potential. The result of such breeding in many cases has been a sharp increase in energy expenditure on farm animals and significant environmental pollution (Akinbile et al, 2016;René, 2011). Currently, breeding aiming to increase adaptive capacity is becoming more widespread (Rodriguez-Bermudez et al, 2019;Romanenko, 2007;Yusuf et al, 2010).…”

Recently, due to the widespread implementation of intensive milk production technologies, the requirements for the type of animal physique have increased, because the theory and practice of breeding have proved that the economic and long-term use of cows is not possible without taking into account their exterior features and type of the constitution. The influence of the traits of the animals’ physique on the duration of their economic use was studied, and the main slaughter grades and standards minimum percentage of cows determined beaf cow culling were determined. We selected the criteria mainly caused the cattle removing from the herd: growth scale of score 4, sacral inclination – score 6, limb posture from rear and side views - score 5. The percentage of cattle culling with body condition score score ranged from 7 to 9 was determined.

“…Pneumonia can affect individual or groups and is frequently caused by a dangerous combination of pathogenic bacteria and environmental factors. Furthermore, several studies were illustrated that the main cause of acute bronchiolitis, emphysema, and right-sided heart failure in sheep was most likely due to a high quantity of sulphur dioxide in the air of industrial zone [29].…”

The present study aimed to investigate the impact of Kwashe Industrial Area (KIA) in Iraqi Kurdistan Region on sheep ecology. KIA contains around 220 industrial factories, from which are more than 50 private crude oil refineries. Each day, these factories release thousands of hazardous untreated industrial effluents and create two main drains that join together and descend both Sulaivany and Duban plains that are mainly used for wheat cultivation and sheep forging to reach Mosul dam. The study is well documented and spotted a great impact on 15000 sheep habitat and niche. The sacristy of water resources in this plain, particularly in summer forces sheep to drink this hazardous effluent to be transferred through food chain to human being, and many direct health cases are investigated in this study. Annually, ten of sheep were stunned in the heavy asphalt and dies. Emissions of a variety NOx, SOx, CO2, CO, H2S, and many other volatile organic compounds like methane causes the spread of respiratory illness among the sheep in this area. Majority of the children in the surrounding villages have developed asthma and respiratory illnesses.

“…Pet animals have been used to study cancer, lung disease, and brain abnormalities in relation to urban air pollution4,5 or indoor exposures 4,6. Other studies have investigated effects of toxic gases, dusts and endotoxins inside farm facilities on livestock health 7. We are not aware of any study of the association between ambient air pollution and animal mortality, except for some reports of pet and farm animal deaths during historic air pollution episodes 7–10.…”

We are not aware of any study of the association between ambient air pollution and animal mortality, except for some reports of pet and farm animal deaths during historic air pollution episodes 7–10. In the 1870s, death of cattle during a livestock show in England was associated with a dense industrial fog 8.…”
