This fact sheet features vegetable oil sprinkling as a management practice to address emissions, odor and dust coming from animal housing. The principal behind vegetable oil sprinkling is that oil is sprayed into the air causing the dust particles to stick to oil droplets and other dust particles, thereby settling to the floor.

This fact sheet is part of the Air Management Practices Assessment Tool (AMPAT) developed at Iowa State University and funded by the National Pork Board. Additional resources can be found on the AMPAT web site.
