Abstract

The air inside and outside the farm buildings at 10 and 50 meterswas sampled for bacteriological and mycological examination.
The obtained results revealed the isolation of 111 strains of bacteria. The most common isolates detected were Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus faecalis.
The results of mycological examination revealed the isolation of 129 fungi belonging to 12 Genera. Aspergillus, Penicillium and Clado sporum were the most frequent isolates.
The dissemination of the airborne microbes from the inside to the outside of the farm buildings and the risk of the environmental pollution on animals and man were discussed.
