Odour Control Techniques

Many farmers are interested in finding ways of controlling odour on their farms. Reducing odour associated with hog farming will be instrumental to the success of our industry. Ontario Pork and other organizations worldwide are searching for ways to reduce odour. Sorting through the enormous amount of information is quite daunting. Ontario Pork and others in the red meat sector in collaboration with The Prairie Swine Center Inc. in Saskatchewan produced an Environmental Issues Resource Centre database. Much of the information in this article can be found on this database. I have also summarized information from the National Pork Producers Council, Odour Solutions Committee.
