“…Cost estimates for mitigation additives are relatively few and often limited to one or few target gases reported. The $1.45/marketed pig price estimate is within the range of $0.01 to $18.2 price estimates (Table S4) with an average additive cost of $4.28 ± $5.80 for manure additive treatment of odor, VOCs, NH 3 , and H 2 S (Balsari et al, 2006;Heber et al, 2000Heber et al, , 2001Moreno et al, 2010). With the average carcass weight of a hog from 2010 through 2015 (USDA-AMS, 2016) being 94.9 kg (209.3 lbs) and the average market price over the same period of $83.60/carcass hundredweight (Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, 2016), the estimated cost percentage equates to 0.8e16.6% for the range of treatment rates (2.28e45.7 kg/m 2 ) in this study.…”

Comprehensive control of odors, hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), ammonia (NH 3 ), and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with swine production is a critical need. A pilot-scale experiment was conducted to evaluate surface-applied soybean peroxidase (SBP) and calcium peroxide (CaO 2 ) as a manure additive to mitigate emissions of odorous volatile organic compounds (VOC) including dimethyl disulfide/methanethiol (DMDS/MT), dimethyl trisulfide, n-butyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, p-cresol, indole, and skatole. The secondary impact on emissions of NH 3 , H 2 S, and GHG was also measured. The SBP was tested at four treatments (2.28-45.7 kg/m 2 manure) with CaO 2 (4.2% by weight of SBP) over 137 days. Significant reductions in VOC emissions were observed: DMDS/MT (36.2%-84.7%), p-cresol (53.1%-89.5%), and skatole (63.2%-92.5%). There was a corresponding significant reduction in NH 3 (14.6%-67.6%), and significant increases in the greenhouse gases CH 4 (32.7%-232%) and CO 2 (20.8%-124%). The remaining emissions (including N 2 O) were not statistically different. At a cost relative to 0.8% of a marketed hog it appears that SBP/CaO 2 treatment could be a promising option at the lowest (2.28 kg/m 2 ) treatment rate for reducing odorous gas and NH 3 emissions at swine operations, and field-scale testing is warranted.

Abstract:Managing the environmental impacts associated with livestock production is a challenge for farmers, public and regulatory agencies. Sustainable solutions that take into account technical and socioeconomic factors are needed. For example, the comprehensive control of odors, ammonia (NH 3 ), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from swine production is a critical need. Stored manure is a major source of gaseous emissions. Mitigation technologies based on bio-based products such as biochar are of interest due to the potential benefits of nutrient cycling. The objective of this study was to test non-activated (non-functionalized) biochar for the mitigation of gaseous emissions from stored manure. Specifically, this included testing the effects of: (1) time; and (2) dosage of biochar application to the swine manure surface on gaseous emissions from deep-pit storage. The biochar surface application was tested with three treatments (1.14, 2.28 and 4.57 kg·m −2 manure) over a month. Significant reductions in emissions were observed for NH 3 (12.7-22.6% reduction as compared to the control). Concomitantly, significant increases in CH 4 emissions (22.1-24.5%) were measured. Changes to emissions of other target gases (including CO 2 , N 2 O, H 2 S, dimethyl disulfide/methanethiol, dimethyl trisulfide, n-butyric-, valeric-, and isovaleric acids, p-cresol, indole, and skatole) were not statistically significant. Biochar treatment could be a promising and comparably-priced option for reducing NH 3 emissions from stored swine manure.

“…Therefore, gas releases from different wastes and their characteristics can be better investigated under controlled laboratory conditions. Studies related to gas emissions from waste storage have mainly been focused on NH 3 from swine manure (Ni, 1999;Arogo et al, 2003;Gay et al, 2003;Sommer et al, 2007;Cortus et al, 2008), dairy manure (Patni and Jui, 1991;Sommer et al, 2007;Mathot et al, 2012), and layer manure (Ni et al, 2010); CO 2 from swine manure Moller et al, 2004;Sommer et al, 2007) and dairy manure (Mathot et al, 2012); and H 2 S from swine manure (Arogo et al, 2000;Clanton and Schmidt, 2000;Gay et al, 2003;Hoff et al, 2006; w a t e r r e s e a r c h 7 6 ( 2 0 1 5 ) 1 1 0 e1 1 9 Kim et al, 2007;Moreno et al, 2010) and dairy manure (Bicudo et al, 2003;Zhao et al, 2007). There are few studies about SO 2 emissions from waste storage in the literature.…”
