An environmental nuisance: odor concentrated and transported by dust.
Intensive swine production generates odorous emissions which flow from the buildings housing the animals. High ventilation rates bring in fresh air, remove heat and moisture and enhance pork productivity. Numerous compounds contribute to the uniquely offensive odors from swine facilities, including fatty acids, amines, aromatics and sulfur compounds. Dust particles, which originate predominantl...
متن کاملFunctional classification of swine manure management systems based on effluent and gas emission characteristics.
Gaseous emissions from swine (Sus scrofa) manure storage systems represent a concern to air quality due to the potential effects of hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, methane, and volatile organic compounds on environmental quality and human health. The lack of knowledge concerning functional aspects of swine manure management systems has been a major obstacle in the development and optimization of emi...
متن کاملVegetative Buffers for Swine Odor Mitigation - Wind Tunnel Evaluation of Air Flow Dynamics
Description: One of the most significant and persistent environmental concerns regarding swine production is odor transport from animal feeding operations and manure storage facilities. Odor constituents include ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and various volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which may exist as individual gaseous compounds or adsorbed onto particulates (Zahn et al., 1997; Trabue et al....
متن کاملWST 50.4 ODOUR03-025 corr
Wastes generated from the production of cattle and swine in confined facilities create the potential for surface and groundwater pollution, emission of greenhouse gases, transmission of pathogens to food and water sources, and odor. It is our hypothesis that something which inhibits microbial fermentation in livestock wastes will be beneficial to solving some of the environmental problems. Our ...
متن کاملThe effect of feeding high fat diet to beef cattle on manure composition and gaseous emission from a feedlot pen surface
BACKGROUND Dietary manipulation is a common practice to mitigate gaseous emission from livestock production facilities, and the variation of fat level in the diet has shown great influence on ruminal volatile fatty acids (VFA) and enteric methane generation. The changes in dietary fat levels influence rumen chemistry that could modify manure nutrient composition along with odor and gaseous emis...
