Nutritive value of timothy fertilized with chloride or chloride-containing liquid swine manure
Chloride fertilization of timothy (Phleum pratense L.) decreases forage dietary cation-anion difference to an acceptable value [(
Pork Checkoff Research
Research is at the heart of the National Pork Board’s mission and is funded by your Pork Checkoff dollars. Research is administered in all areas of pork production, processing, and human nutrition to develop a higher quality and more profitable product in the competitive meat protein market.

Odor carrying characteristics of dust from swine facilities
Odour nuisance has become a major problem in the pig industry. Foul-smelling dust plays a major role in the spreading of odour. Gas chromatography equipped with a flame ionization detector has...

Quantifying Volatile Organic Compound Interaction With Particulate Matter For The Development Of Odor Transport Models
A laboratory study of an aerated lagoon bio-blanket for swine manure odor control
The effectiveness of an aerated, submerged bio-blanket for controlling the release of odorous and volatile compounds from pig manure storage lagoons was examined. Hydrogen peroxide was used as an...
Odor and gas reduction from sprinkling soybean oil in a pig nursery
Daily sprinkling of very small amounts of vegetable (soyabean) oil inside a pig nursery facility reduced the odour, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and total dust levels of the air inside the barn and in the...
Reduction of nutrients and odor in swine manure with sequencing batch treatment and intermittent aeration
A pilot plant with capacity to treat up to 1.5 msuperscript 3/day was installed in August 1997 at D & B Swine Farm in Halifax County, North Carolina, USA. The system was composed of a...
Biological Control of Hog Waste Odor through Stimulated Microbial Fe(III) Reduction
Odor control and disposal of swine waste have inhibited expansion of swine production facilities throughout the United States. Swine waste odor is associated primarily with high concentrations of...
Minimizing Cost while Safely Composting Swine Mortality in Roofed and Unroofed Compost Systems – An Evaluation of Type and Amount of Amendments on the Compost Process
Proper disposal of carcasses occurring due to mortality in animal production is necessary for protection of the environment and prevention of the spread of disease organisms. Mortality disposal laws...
Upflow biological aerated filters for the treatment of flushed swine manure
A pilot plant with capacity to treat up to 8 m3/day of supernate from settled flushed swine wastes was monitored for 12 months. The main system is composed of two upflow aerated biofilters connected...
Soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics following application of pig slurry for the 19th consecutive year. I. Carbon dioxide fluxes and microbial biomass carbon
Agricultural soils often receive annual applications of manure for long periods. The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of 19 consecutive years of pig (Sus scrofa) slurry (PS)...
