Description

The ability to control odours from agricultural waste storage has always been a problem for the agricultural industry. This update summarizes findings of a series of five projects to develop effective odour controlling coverings for hog manure lagoons. Studies were conducted on the effectiveness of supported and unsupported covers, with emphasis on cover durability, straw type, odour reduction period, and management problems. In the final project, several straw types were used in full scale tests on lagoons.
