Manure from livestock building, when not stored properly, causes environmental problems including odor and visual pollution. The manure supplied from animal barns should necessarily be stored for future use in closed manure storages, which are built according to standards. Manure storages should have enough capacity to store manure for certain days. Closed manure storage structure can be used to prevent environmental pollution caused by manure from animal farm. The study was conducted at animal farms in Adana, Mersin and Burdur province. The aim was to investigate effects of manure produced at the farms on environmental pollution. Farms were chosen employing aimed sampling method and 197 farms constituted the material of the study. Simple random sampling method was used to select farms in the questionnaire. Auxiliary sections of buildings at which solid and liquid manure were stored at farm surveyed were mostly neglected. It was determined in 80% of the farms; manure which is used as animal waste was stored outside. Results showed that animal manure caused odor and visual pollution. Additionally, it was concluded that animal manure was considered as a pollutant to surface and ground water as long as it is stored outside in a pile.
