Abstract

Recently, environmental problems due to livestock odor have emerged in Korea, and technologies to solve these problems are being developed. This study developed a livestock odor monitoring system using ICT technology and an ammonia sensor. This system consists of a sensor, communication equipment, server, database management system (DBMS), and user operating program. The requirements for each component were presented and applied to the system. The livestock odor monitoring system is divided into Livestock Odor Management System (LOMS) and Livestock Odor Control System (LOCS). LOMS comprises a sensor that can measure ammonia in livestock farms or treatment facilities and communication equipment that transmits and receives data. LOCS consists of a server that can receive data and a program to check real-time data. This system will be used for trend analysis using livestock odor data and to plan to reduce livestock odor in the future.

Highlights

With the development of large-scale intensive farms in the livestock industry, interest in odor emission has significantly increased [1,2,3]
The composition of the livestock odor monitoring system can be divided into the Livestock Odor Management System (LOMS) and the Livestock Odor Control System (LOCS)
The LOMS, ICT equipment for measuring livestock odor, mainly consists of the sensor, and communication equipment transmitted data to Atghrieculstuerer2v02e2r,.12T, xhFOeRLPOEERCRSEViIsEWa system that consists of monitoring data transmitted to a se6rvofe14r

Summary

Introduction

With the development of large-scale intensive farms in the livestock industry, interest in odor emission has significantly increased [1,2,3]. Livestock odors are characterized by lower concentrations, more complex structures, and more uneven distribution than industrial odors [5,6]. The livestock industry is limited and shrinking by the livestock odor due to increasing the awareness of a clean environment [7,8,9,10]. The characterization and monitoring technology for odor emission from livestock farms is still lacking. It is necessary to overcome the limitations of odor emission and promote the development of the livestock industry by monitoring the sources, types, and control in livestock farms [11]
