Reduction of Odorous Sulfide and Phenolic Compounds in Pig Manure Through Diet Modification
Effect of a manure additive on ammonia emission from swine finishing buildings
The effect of a commercial manure additive (Alliance) on ammonia (NH3) emissions was evaluated in commercial 1000-head grow-finish swine buildings over a six-month period. The test was conducted in...
Ammonia Volatilization and Selected Soil Characteristics Following Application of Anaerobically Digested Pig Slurry
Ammonia volatilization occurs shortly following land application of pig slurry. Several slurry and soil characteristics modulate the intensity of this process, and their net effect on volatilization...
Removal of dimethyl disulfide and p-cresol from swine facility wastewater using constructed subsurface-flow wetlands
Anecdotal evidence suggests that constructed wetlands can remove odors from veal, dairy, and swine wastes (Murphy and George, 1997; McCaskey, 1995). However, the use of constructed wetlands as an...
Corn response to composting and time of application of solid swine manure
Swine production in hoop structures is a relatively new husbandry system in which a mixture of manure and bedding accumulates. This manure/bedding pack can be applied to crop fields directly from a...
