Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is essential for environmental balance because animals release CO₂ and then plants uptake it for photosynthesis. The aim of this study is to identify the concentration of CO₂ and microorganism population in cattle farming and to determine the relationship between these two variables. Aeroqual 500 series sensor was used to determine CO₂ concentration, while DRF e-MAS was used to detect microorganisms. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the possible bacteria found in the microorganism population, and catalase tests were performed to determine this. Results showed E. Coli to be present in the microorganism population. Based on the correlation analysis, there was no relationship between CO₂ and the microorganism population in the cattle farm.
