“…Hydrogen sulfide is a primary odorant measured in animal housing facilities, particularly swine (Hansen, Adamsen, Pedersen, & Feilberg, 2012;Kim et al, 2008;Ni et al, 2002). However, hydrogen sulfide from open lot beef feedlots is not as well established.…”

Feedlot Gas chromatographyOdour VOC A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pen location, moisture, and temperature on emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from surface materials obtained from feedlot pens where beef cattle were fed a diet containing 30% wet distillers grain plus solubles. Surface materials were collected from the feed trough (bunk), drainage, and raised areas (mounds) within three feedlot pens. The surface materials were mixed with water to represent dry, wet, or saturated conditions and then incubated at temperatures of 5, 15, 25 and 35 C. A wind tunnel and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer were used to collect and quantify emissions of eight volatile fatty acids (VFAs), five aromatics and two sulfur-containing compounds. Pen location significantly (P < 0.05) affected measurements of 10 of the VOC with the largest values occurring for materials collected near the mound area. The largest VFA and aromatic emissions resulted for the dry moisture condition while wet and saturated conditions produced the largest sulfide emissions.Temperature affected emission of each VOC except indole, with values generally increasing as temperature increased. Odour activity value (OAV), which was the ratio of measured concentration of a single compound normalised to the odour threshold for that compound, was calculated for each compound. Four VFAs contributed 7.5% of the total OAV but only one aromatic, 4-methylphenol, was a major contributor to total OAV at 2.5%.In comparison, sulfide compounds contributed 87.3% of the total OAV. This research shows VOC emissions are affected by pen location, moisture condition, and temperature.Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of IAgrE.

“…This could be explained by two factors. Firstly, in many cases pig buildings with natural ventilation have higher ventilation rates than those that are mechanically ventilated (Kim et al, 2008b), which can partially explain the lower PM concentrations found in the present study. The results from previous studies were mostly obtained in mechanically ventilated pig barns.…”

Particulate matter (PM) pollution from pig farms is of increasing environmental concern due to the rapid development of intensively managed pig farms worldwide. However, information on this topic is scarce in China to date. Therefore a two-year study to monitor the dynamics of total suspended particles (TSP) and particulate matter with diameter less than 10 µm (PM 10 ) and their soluble ions was conducted at an industrial pig farm near Beijing. In total, two fattening pig houses were sampled during three fattening periods from 2010 to 2011. Daily mean indoor TSP and PM 10 concentrations were 1.85 and 0.63 mg m -3 on average.

“…Electronic dust collector installed in this air clear has a limit to reduce only the particulate contaminants. Generally the levels of NH 3 and H 2 S, which generally cause odor problem, are much higher in pig building than other public buildings (Kim et al, 2008). Therefore, it is considered that supplementary device, i.e.…”
