Methane emissions from dairy cow and swine manure slurries stored at 10 degrees C and 15 degrees C
Livestock waste represents a potentially important source of methane (CH4) emissions, but little experimental data are available on CH4 production from manure stored on farms. The objective of this...
Ammonia, volatile fatty acids, phenolics, and odor offensiveness in manure from growing pigs fed diets reduced in protein concentration
The objective of this study was to investigate whether reducing dietary CP concentration decreases faecal VFA, manure ammonia (NH3) emission and odour, and urinary phenolic metabolites. Six barrows...
Odor, total reduced sulfur, and ammonia emissions from animal housing facilities and manure storage units in Minnesota
The quantification of odor, total reduced sulfur (TRS), and ammonia (NH3) emissions from animal housing facilities and manure storage units is essential for the development and implementation of...
Solids separation coupled with batch-aeration treatment for odor control from liquid swine manure
Previous studies on solids/liquid (S-L) separation for odour control from swine manure indicated that the practice might not technically be feasible because of the complexity of removing the fine...
Role of Rhodobacter sp. strain PS9, a purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacterium isolated from an anaerobic swine waste lagoon, in odor remediation
Temporal pigmentation changes resulting from the development of a purple color in anaerobic swine waste lagoons were investigated during a 4-year period. The major purple photosynthetic bacterium...

Characterization of VOCs and particulates from swine finishing facilities and relationship of these compounds to human health
Development of methods to measure dust (PM10) and ammonia emissions from Minnesota pig facilities
The concentration and emission rate for ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, particulate matter or dust under 10 microns in diameter (PM10), and odor were measured in a representative deep-bedded hoop pig...
