Abstract
The number of large-scale poultry and livestock projects that rely on intensive breeding methods has grown significantly. These projects generate various types of waste and unwanted by-products, such as chicken manure, wastewater from cleaning and purification processes, and dead poultry. If not properly managed, these by-products can become serious sources of environmental pollution. Therefore, it is essential to conduct environmental impact assessments prior to implementing such projects. These studies are now a key requirement for investment projects across various sectors, as they help evaluate potential environmental effects in advance and recommend appropriate measures to reduce negative impacts. This ensures both environmental protection and the success of the projects. In this context, the environmental impact of a table egg production project was examined by identifying the main operational characteristics and potential sources of pollution at each stage. Field analysis was carried out to assess the project’s environmental effects, and a solid waste treatment unit was proposed to process chicken manure. The study concluded with several recommendations, including the adoption of methods to reduce environmental harm by utilizing waste treatment systems, and turning waste into resources to protect and sustain natural ecosystems.
