MD — Industry groups are criticizing a new report on the environmental impact
of waste from poultry operations.
The report released recently by the Pew Environment Group says chicken consumption has increased
sharply while the number of producers has dropped, concentrating production
onto fewer farms. And the group recommends capping the number of birds in large
operations if new methods aren’t found to deal with their waste.
