| Abstract | Modern agro-industrial production in Ukraine largely relies on the development of animal husbandry, the efficiency of which directly depends on the provision of high-quality feed. The compound feed industry, playing a key role in this process, simultaneously poses a number of environmental threats associated with the emission of pollutants, the generation of organic and inorganic waste, and the consumption of water and energy resources. The environmental impact of compound feed production facilities includes air pollution with dust, ammonia, and volatile organic compounds, as well as soil and water contamination due to unauthorized discharge of wastewater, formation of sludge, residues of grain raw materials, lubricants, and chemicals. This article is dedicated to the analysis of ecological aspects of compound feed production in Ukraine, highlighting the main sources of technogenic pressure on the environment, reviewing current regulatory documents in the field of environmental protection, assessing risks to ecosystems, and providing suggestions for minimizing negative impacts. Particular attention is paid to energy efficiency at enterprises, environmental monitoring, and implementation of sustainable development principles, including circular economy, recycling, bioconversion, and the transition to zero-waste technologies. The study analyzes the environmental policies of compound feed enterprises in various regions of Ukraine, identifies key issues in the implementation of environmental protection technologies, and presents recommendations for reducing environmental pressures through modernization of production processes, improvement of air and wastewater treatment systems, and increasing the efficiency of waste management. It is established that achieving environmental safety in compound feed production is possible only through a systematic approach that integrates environmental, economic, and technological solutions. | ||
