Effects of Administration of Prebiotics Alone or in Combination with Probiotics on In Vitro Fermentation Kinetics, Malodor Compound Emission and Microbial Community Structure in Swine

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus amylovorus, L. plantarum, galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) and their synbiotic formulations on pH, volatile fatty acids (VFA), malodor, and microbial ecological profiles through a 24-h in vitro fermentation model. Inclusion of GOS alone and in synbiotic combination with either probiotic resulted in consistently lower pH and higher total gas volumes at 12 and 24 h of incubation. Notably, concentrations of odorous compounds (hydrogen sulfide, H2S and methyl mercaptan, CH3SH) in the total gas produced were significantly lower in these GOS-containing treatments relative to the controls and probiotic-only-treated groups. However, although ammonia showed an initial relative reduction at 12 h, concentrations did not differ among treatments at 24 h. Further, the GOS-containing treatments had remarkably higher total and individual VFAs, including acetate, propionate, and butyrate, relative to controls and the probiotic-only treatments. Analysis of microbial composition and diversity showed clustering of GOS-containing treatments away from the controls and probiotic-only treatments at 12 and 24 h of incubation. Our study suggests that GOS supplementation (alone or in combination with L. amylovorus or L. plantarum probiotic strains) has the potential to increase VFA production in the swine gut while lowering emissions of malodorous compounds, except ammonia, in their manure.

Health risks of odorous compounds during the whole process of municipal solid waste collection and treatment in China.

The high moisture content and perishable organic waste of municipal solid waste (MSW) in China have caused the severe odor nuisance to be one of the crucial reasons for resident complaints. Understanding the environmental risks of odorous compounds lays the foundations for resolving the problems. This study collected concentration data of 86 odorous compounds in five types of MSW processing facilities/equipment which can well represent the whole process of MSW stream, including waste bins and transfer stations for collection, compost plants and anaerobic digestion plants for utilization, and landfills for final disposal. The results revealed that the occupational health risks of odorants were not fully consistent with the compound concentrations and olfactory annoyance. Higher odorous compound concentrations and more severe olfactory annoyance can be found in the MSW utilization and disposal facilities, but the occupational carcinogenic risk (2.79×10-5-1.12×10-3) was non-negligible along the whole MSW stream. Aromatic hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons were crucial contributors to the carcinogenic risk of odorous compounds emission from these facilities. Particularly for estimating the adverse impact range of MSW facilities, the carcinogenic risk was the most critical factor, implying impact distance of ∼1.5km for MSW transfer station and ∼5km for landfill, and even higher for the regions (such as southwest China) with lower wind speed and higher atmospheric stability. In addition to current regulations, another 5 compounds (acetaldehyde, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, 1,2-dichloroethane, acrolein, and benzyl chloride) that displayed high carcinogenic risks were suggested to be concerned. This study provided insights for the policymakers regarding MSW odors management, especially underscoring the importance of considering the health risks of odorous compounds.

Seasonal dynamics of odor compounds concentration driven by phytoplankton succession in a subtropical drinking water reservoir, southeast China

Occurrences of odor compounds in drinking water reservoirs are considered as a nuisance by the water industry. Through the high-frequency monitoring of Tianmuhu Reservoir, a drinking water source for a city with a population of 700,000, we found that odor compounds seasonal dynamics were significantly related to phytoplankton succession, which was controlled by hydrometeorological process. 2-Methylisoborneol (2-MIB) was significantly related to Aphanizomenon sp. (r = 0.51). When the surface water temperature exceeded 12 ℃, 2-MIB concentration may exceed the odor threshold concentration. With the proliferation of Aphanizomenon sp. in spring, 2-MIB concentration reached 87.22 ng/L. After late spring heavy rain, 2-MIB concentration sharply decreased to 3.19 ng/L. As the temperature increased at the end of the rainy season, Aphanizomenon sp. biomass increased to 2.09 mg/L, and 2-MIB concentration increased to 40.16 ng/L. These results showed that the concentration of odor compounds in shallow layer varied greatly because odor compounds mainly originated from phytoplankton and were susceptible to short-term hydrometeorological processes. However, the concentrations of odor compounds in deep layer were relatively insensitive to short-term weather processes. This study will improve the understanding of seasonal changes in odor compounds at different depths, and provide useful information for reservoir managers to prevent odor problems.

The investigation of combined ventilation-biofilter systems using recycled treated wastewater on odor reduction efficiency.

ObjectiveThe present study aimed to evaluate the performance of odor abatement by using two different ventilation-biofilter systems with recycled stablized swine wastewater.MethodsThe performance of odor removal efficiency was evaluated using two different ventilation-biofilter-recycled wastewater arrangements. A recirculating air-flow ventilation system connected to a vertical biofilter (M1) and a plug-flow ventilation system connected to a horizontal biofilter (M2) were installed. Water dripping over the surface of the biofilter was recycled at a flow rate of 0.83 L/h in summer and 0.58 L/h in winter to reduce odorous compounds and particulate matter (PM). The experiments were performed for 64 days with M1 and M2 to investigate how these two ventilation-biofilter systems influenced the reduction of odor compounds in the model houses. Odorous compounds, NH3 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were analyzed, and microclimatic variables such as temperature, humidity, and PM were monitored.ResultsAmmonia concentration inside M1 was about 41% higher on average than that in M2. PM and total suspended particles (TSPs) inside M1 were about 62.2% and 69.9%, respectively, higher than those in M2. TSPs in the model house were positively correlated with the concentration of NH3 and VOCs.ConclusionM2 emitted lower concentration of odorous compounds than M1. Moreover, M2 could maintain the optimum temperature condition for a swine house during the cooler season. The plug-flow ventilation–horizontal biofilter system could be used for pig houses to minimize air pollution produced by swine farming activities and maintain optimum microclimate conditions for pigs.

Taste and odor compounds associated with aquatic plants in Taihu Lake: distribution and producing potential.

The odor problem caused by the decay of aquatic plants is widespread in many freshwater lakes. In this study, the spatial distributions of seven taste and odor (T&O) compounds (dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, 2-methylisoborneol, geosmin, β-cyclocitral, and β-ionone) in the sediments and overlying water of the east of Taihu Lake were investigated. The effects of plant and physico-chemical parameters on the release of T&O compounds were also analyzed. The results showed that high concentrations of T&O compounds were detected in the area where Eichhornia crassipes was flourishing. Volatile organic sulfur compounds were not found in the water source area, which was not covered by aquatic plants. High plant biomass and aquiculture activities might increase the release of the taste and odor compounds. The correlation between the concentrations of odorous compounds and nutrients in the sediment was also analyzed. The production of odorants was positively correlated with the nitrogen, and they may migrate from sediment to overlying water. The result suggested that controlling the plant density and aquaculture activities could reduce the release of odorous compounds.

The use of biofiltration process to remove malodorous gases from the wastewater treatment plant

Odorous substances emitted to ambient air from wastewater treatment plants cause a serious nuisance to inhabitants in the direct vicinity of such emitters. The solutions currently used to remove malodorous gases in the Wastewater Treatment Plant in Belchatow do not fulfill their function properly. This article presents the test results of the composition and concentrations of odorous compounds emitted from the above- mentioned plant. In addition, the paper introduces the concept of eliminating substances by the biofiltration process. Due to the applied method, one can expect to reduce the odor by at least 90%.

Effect of Storage Period on the Changes of Odorous Compound Concentrations and Bacterial Ecology for Identifying the Cause of Odor Production from Pig Slurry.

Odor from buildings where pigs are housed is generated by anaerobic fermentation of undigested materials in pig slurry stored for several weeks in pit. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of storage period on the level of odorous compounds in pig slurry and on its bacterial community. A slurry sample (15 L) was taken from the pit of a finisher pig building and incubated in acryl chambers for six- weeks. Slurry for analysis was sampled every two-week. Levels of odorous compounds in the slurry sample were drastically changed after two weeks of storage period; levels of phenols and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were decreased (P<0.05), whereas indoles and branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs) were increased (P<0.05). Among dominant bacteria, Bacteroides and Porphyromonadacese_uc_g revealed a strong positive correlation with the levels of phenols and SCFAs. Populations of AC160630_g, Acholeplasmatales_uc_g, Mollicutes_uc_g and Cloacamonas_f_uc_g positively correlated with indole and BCFAs content. Taken together, levels of odorous compounds were increased after two weeks of storage, possibly because of changes in the predominant bacterial groups to those that use protein as a carbon source in the hypo-carbohydrate conditions.

Effect of horseradish, mushroom waste and almond hull on the concentrations of odorous compounds in swine manure for spreading on grassland in spring

The objective of the current study was to investigate the effect of odor reducing agents on the levels of pH, total carbon, total nitrogen, and odorous compounds [phenols, indoles, short chain fatty acid (SCFA), branched-chain fatty acid (BCFA), and ammonium nitrogen] of swine manure during the spring season (temperature around 20°C). Odor reducing agents included horseradish powder, mushroom waste powder, and almond hull powder. A manure sample (15 L) was taken from the pit under the pens of a swine feeding operation and incubated with 0.03% horseradish powder, 1% mushroom waste powder, and 1% almond hull powder, respectively, in acryl chambers for 14 days. Addition of almond hull powder showed the lowest pH (p < 0.05) and the highest level of total carbon (p < 0.05) among treatments of odor reducing agents. Although addition of odor reducing agents increased the level of phenols (p < 0.05), addition of almond hull powder decreased the level of indoles (p < 0.05). Levels of SCFA and BCFA were higher in almond hull powder than those in control (p < 0.05). Taken together, the results from our current study showed that odor reducing agents can be used for reducing the odor of swine manure by providing fermentable carbohydrates. At 20°C, however, the function of odor reducing agents might be decreased due to lower microbial activity.

In situ enclosure experiments on the occurrence, development and decline of black bloom and the dynamics of its associated taste and odor compounds

Black bloom has an offensive odor (caused by, e.g., dimethyl sulfide, DMS; dimethyl disulfide, DMDS; and dimethyl trisulfide, DMTS) and disastrous consequences for natural limnic ecosystems worldwide. However, research on black bloom and its taste and odor (T&O) compounds has been limited by the difficulty of predicting the time and location of black bloom events. Therefore, the occurrence, development and decline of black bloom and the dynamics of T&O compounds in each stage of black bloom were examined in Meiliang Bay, Lake Taihu, through an in situ enclosure (2.5m×2.5m) simulation experiment with various levels of cyanobacterial biomass (0gm−2, 1500gm−2, 7500gm−2 and 15,000gm−2, fresh weight). The principal odor-related substances and the physicochemical parameters were analyzed every two or three days. Black blooms occurred in the moderate (7500gm−2) and high (15,000gm−2) cyanobacterial biomass treatments concurrently on day 5 but did not occur in the low cyanobacterial biomass (1500gm−2) treatment or in the control group (0gm−2). Thus, black bloom could be induced by the decay of dense cyanobacterial populations under suitable meteorological and hydrographic conditions. As the extent of black bloom increased, the concentrations of nutrients (e.g., ammonium nitrogen and total phosphorus), odorous compounds, and total divalent anionic sulfur and the duration of low dissolved oxygen levels increased, whereas the pH decreased. In addition, linear regression analysis revealed that the concentrations of odorous compounds in the water column were significantly correlated with changes in certain physicochemical parameters (e.g., chlorophyll a, pH) and these changes were mainly induced by the breakdown of the cyanobacterial bloom. Overall, our study revealed that (i) the extent of black bloom (e.g., level of black water color, concentrations of offensive odor compounds and duration) is strongly influenced by cyanobacterial biomass; and (ii) extremely high concentrations of T&O compounds may originate from the decomposition of cyanobacteria.

대청호에서 Geosmin, 2-MIB의 시간적&amp;#x00B7;공간적 분포 특성

Abstract BACKGROUND: Contamination of source water by odorous compounds are one of the problems related to the water quality management, especially in Korea where surface water is used as drinking water. Geosmin (1, 10- trans -dimethyl- trans -9-decalol) and 2-MIB (2-methyl isoborneol : 1,2,7,7-tetramethyl-exo-bicycloheptan-2-ol) are commonly recognized earthy-musty odor compounds produced by algae causing serious problems to the drinking water purification facilities. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, spatial and temporal distribution of the odor compounds, geosmin and 2-MIB were investigated along with the development of phytoplankton in the Daechung reservoir from July 2012 to October 2013. CONCLUSION: Concentrations and frequencys of detection of both compounds increased from April to October which were related to cyanobacterial bloom periods. However, concentrations of odor compounds were not related to the number of cyanobacteria. Concentrations of both cyanobacteria and geosmin showed similar trends with depth. Pearson correlation analyses showed that geosmin concentration exhibited significant correlation with the count of

Impact of a microbial-mineral biopreparation on microbial community and deodorization of manures.

The aim of this study was to determine the number of bacteria in poultry, cattle and swine manure in order to perform hygienization and deodorization using a microbial-mineral biopreparation. The highest number of bacteria was recorded in laying hens manure (5.1×10(10) cfu/g). It was noted that bacteria: coliforms, E. coli, Clostridium, Enterococcus number was reduced (1-2 log) after the biopreparation application. The investigated odorous compound concentrations were reduced with 34-78% efficiency, depending on the type of manure and odorant. All odorous compounds were efficiently reduced only in the case of laying hen manure.

초지환원용 비육돈 슬러리의 계절에 따른 휘발성유기물과 휘발성지방산 농도 분석연구

비육돈사의 슬러리에 함유된 악취물질의 농도를 계절별로 비교하여 초지 및 농경지에 살포되는 분뇨의 악취강도를 예측하고자 수행되었다. 1. 비육돈사의 슬러리에 함유된 휘발성유기물의 계절별 농도 비교 페놀류 중 p-크레졸 농도는 봄, 여름 및 가을에 차이가 없었지만, 페놀, 인돌 및 스카톨 농도는 여름과 가을에 비해 봄에 높았다 (p<0.05). 돼지 슬러리의 경우 p-크레졸과 스카톨이 악취강도에 큰 영향을 주기 때문에 계절에 따른 휘발성유기물의 악취강도 차이는 크지 않을 것으로 판단된다. 2. 비육돈사의 슬러리에 함유된 휘발성지방산의 계절별 농도 비교 휘발성지방산의 경우 악취강도가 높지 않은 단쇄지방산의 농도는 봄철이 여름과 가을보다 높았으나 (p<0.05), 악취강도가 상대적으로 높은 이성체지방산의 농도는 계절별로 숫자적인 차이는 보였지만 통계적인 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05). 계절에 따라 휘발성지방산이 악취강도에 미치는 영향은 높지 않을 것으로 판단된다. 결과적으로 봄철에 악취물질의 농도가 더 높은 것은 온도, 환기 및 돈사내부로 유입되는 물의 양에 의한 것으로 추정되며, 여름철은 슬러리에서 생성되는 악취농도 보다 환기에 의해 휘산되는 양이 많아서 슬러리의 악취농도가 감소되거나 증가되지 않았을 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합하면 비육돈사의 슬러리를 초지 또는 농경지에 살포하였을 때 계절에 의한 악취강도의 차이는 크지 않을 것으로 기대된다. The objective of this study is to investigate the changes in levels of odorous compounds in pig slurry during different seasons. Slurry from pens of finishing pigs was sampled every 4-wk and concentration of odorous compounds was analyzed. There was no difference in the range of phenols level (123 to 156 ppm) during spring (April to May), summer (July to August) and fall (October to November). The concentration of indoles was higher (P<0.05) during spring (14.3 ppm) than summer and fall (5.4~7.6 ppm). Level of BCFA ranging from 727 to 1,194 ppm was not different at any season. Among SCFA, there was no difference in propionic acid during any season but levels of acetic acid and butyric acid were highest (P<0.05) during spring season. Concentration of odorous compounds in pig slurry was highest during spring season. Interestingly, it tended to be lower during summer season compare to fall. This result might be due to relatively lower ventilation rate in order to maintain a constant temperature during spring season. Further study will be necessary to determine the relationship between the concentration of odorous compounds and ventilation system.

Characterization of odorous compounds (VOC and carbonyl compounds) in the ambient air of Yeosu and Gwangyang, large industrial areas of South Korea.

Odorous compounds play an important role in air pollution in industrial areas and the residential areas surrounding them. This study measured the odorous volatile organic compounds (VOC) and carbonyl compounds at Yeosu and Gwangyang, two large industrial areas of South Korea, during four seasons of 2008-2009. Along with these two cities, the same odorous compounds were measured at Suncheon, which was selected as a control site. The concentrations of VOC and carbonyl compounds that were listed as odorous air pollutants by the Ministry of Environment of South Korea are discussed. Benzene and formaldehyde were included in the target analytes because of their carcinogenic nature. Most researchers only examined the concentration of odorous compounds in ambient air but the present study evaluated the odor intensity, which is a new parameter that will help better understand the precise odor perceived by people. This paper describes the seasonal variations and spatial distribution of the above-mentioned odorous compounds at the specified sites. Pearson correlation coefficients between the odorous compounds and other air pollutants, such as ozone, CO, SO2, NO2, and PM10, and meteorological conditions, such as temperature and wind speed, provide the source information of odorous VOC and carbonyl compounds.

발효탄수화물 첨가 비육돈사료가 초지환원용 슬러리의 악취물질 농도에 미치는 영향

양돈 사료에 발효탄수화물을 첨가하여 돼지의 슬러리에서 악취물질의 농도를 평가하였다. VFA 분석결과, 분뇨의 SCFA 농도는 대조구, 땅콩껍질, 아몬드피 및 골든화이버구에서 각각 1,893, 1,591, 1,433 및 1,319 ppm으로 대조구에서 가장 높았고(p<0.05), 아몬드피와 골든파이버 구에서 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). VFA의 구성을 살펴보면 SCFA 중에서 아세트산의 비율이 가장 높으며, 다음으로 프로피온산, 부티르산, BCFA 순으로 낮았다. BCFA의 농도는 대조구, 땅콩껍질, 아몬드피 및 골든화이버 구에서 각각 98, 92, 78 및 74 ppm으로 대조구에서 가장 높았고(p<0.05), 골든화이버 구에서 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). VOC 분석결과, 분뇨의 페놀류 농도는 대조구, 땅콩껍질, 아몬드피 및 골든화이버 구에서 각각 97.3, 47.0, 54.3 및 33.3 ppm으로 골든화이버 구에서 가장 낮았으며, 대조구에서 가장 높았다(p<0.05). 그리고 p-크레졸 농도가 페놀류 농도의 93~96%를 차지하였다. 인돌류 농도는 대조구, 땅콩껍질, 아몬드피 및 골든화이버 구에서 각각 1.8, 1.3, 1.2 및 1.0 ppm으로 발효탄수화물 처리구간에 차이가 없었으며(p>0.05), 대조구에서 가장 높았다(p<0.05). <TEX>${NH_4}^+$</TEX>-N의 농도는 대조구, 땅콩껍질, 아몬드피 및 골든화이버 구에서 각각 1,395, 995, 995 및 836 ppm으로 대조구에서 가장 높았으며, 골든화이버 구에서 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). 가축의 장내 또는 슬러리에서 발효과정 동안 미생물이 성장을 위해 필요로 하는 에너지가 제한요소로 작용되면, 미생물은 단백질을 에너지원으로 이용하기 때문에 많은 아미노산이 분해되어 악취물질이 증가 될 수 있다. 따라서 다른 처리구에 비하여 골든화이버 구에서 VOC의 농도가 가장 낮은 것은 골든화이버의 높은 NDF 함량으로(Getachew et al., 2004) 단백질 발효보다 탄수화물 발효가 활발하게 일어나 악취물질의 농도가 낮았다고 판단된다. This study investigates the effect of fermentable carbohydrate on the concentration of odorous compounds in pig slurry. Four types of pig diet were studied: control, peanut hull (crude fiber 29.87, NDF 44.02%), golden fiber (crude fiber 48.77, NDF 65.88%), and almond hull (crude fiber 44.30, NDF 64.44%). Pigs (average BW 37.0 kg) were fed diets that met the Korean Feeding Standard (2012) and their excreta samples were collected from the slurry pits. Levels of volatile organic compounds (phenols and indoles) and volatile fatty acids were analyzed by gas chromatography. Phenol level was the lowest (p<0.05) in golden fiber (33.26 ppm) group and the highest in control (97.29 ppm). The concentration of indoles in the peanut hull (1.27 ppm), almond hull (1.20 ppm), and golden fiber (1.02 ppm) groups was lower (p < 0.05) than that of control (1.79 ppm). Levels of short chain fatty acid (SCFA) were lower (p < 0.05) in golden fiber (1,319 ppm) and almond hull (1,433 ppm) groups than in control (1,893 ppm). Concentration of branched chain fatty acid (BCFA) in the golden fiber group (74 ppm) was lower (p < 0.05) than that of control (98 ppm). Taken together, the concentration levels of phenols, indoles, and VFAs decreased on addition of peanut hull, golden fiber or almond hull to the diet, suggesting that fermentable carbohydrate may contribute to reducing odorous compounds in pig slurry.

슬러리 환경개선물질이 초지환원용 양돈 슬러리의 악취물질 농도에 미치는 효과

본 연구는 양돈 슬러리의 악취물질 감소에 효과가 있는 것으로 확인된 물질의 효능을 비교분석하기 위하여 수행되었다. 페놀류 농도는 고추냉이와 아몬드피 구에서 낮았고, 인돌류 농도는 아몬드피 구에서 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). 따라서 슬러리에 아몬드피를 첨가하면 VOC 농도가 감소되었다. SCFA 농도는 팽이버섯폐배지와 아몬드피 구에서 높았고, BCFA 농도는 대조구에 비해 다른 모든 처리구에서 낮았다(p<0.05). 또한 슬러리의 pH는 팽이버섯폐배지와 아몬드피 구에서 낮았다(p<0.05). 따라서 팽이버섯폐배지 또는 아몬드피를 슬러리에 첨가하면 SCFA 농도는 증가되고 BCFA 농도는 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. This study investigated the effect of slurry additives on reducing the concentration of odorous compounds. Slurry treatments included control, horseradish, spent mushroom, and almond hull (n = 4 each group). Odorous compounds including volatile organic compounds (VOCs phenols and indoles) and volatile fatty acids (VFAs short chain FA, SCFA, and branched chain FA, BCFA) were analyzed. Pigs of 85~120 kg body weight were fed diets formulated to meet the Korean Feeding Standard (2012) and their excretion was sampled from slurry pits. VOCs decreased (p<0.05) in horseradish, spent mushroom, and almond hull, compared to the control. SCFA was lower (p<0.05) in the horseradish group and BCFA was lower (p<0.05) in all three treatment groups compared to the control. Taken together, the tested additives are effective in reducing odorous compounds in pig slurry, indicating that the use of spent mushroom and almond hull can not only recycle the agri-byproduct but also reduce the impact of odors on surrounding communities.

양돈 슬러리에 첨가된 악취저감물질 수준별 휘발성 지방산과 휘발성 유기화합물 농도 비교

This study was to investigate the effect of addition levels of odor reducing contents on reducing the concentration of odorous compounds. Slurry treatments included three levels mixture of horseradish powder (HP), mushroom waste (MW) and probiotics powder (PP), and non-treatment control (n=4 each group). Levels of odorous compounds were measured from the liquid slurry incubated in room temperature (<TEX>$20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$</TEX>) for 2 wk in chamber whose structure is similar to slurry pit. Concentration of phenols and indoles was lower (p<0.05) in level 1, which was mixed HP 0.01%, MW 0.4% and PP 0.004% (98.69, 1.87 ppm) compared to control. Short chain fatty acid (SCFA) and branched chain fatty acid (BCFA) was lowest (p<0.05) level 1 (6,557, 1675 ppm). Taken together, lower level are effective in reducing odorous compounds in pig slurry.

양돈 슬러리에 첨가된 발효탄수화물의 종류별 악취물질 농도 비교

Slurry treatments included peanut shell, palm golden fiber, almond hull, which was added 2% of the amount of slurry, and non-treatment control(n=4 each group). Levels of odorous compounds were measured from the liquid slurry incubated in 20for 2 wk in chamber whose structure is similar to slurry pit. Concentration of phenols and indoles was higher(p<0.05) in control(48.4, 4.0ppm) compared to almond hull (31.5, 1.4ppm) or palm golden fiber(29.1, 1.6 ppm) group. Short chain fatty acid(SCFA) level was lowest(p<0.05) in control(2,121ppm) but highest in peanut shell group(3,640ppm). Branched chain fatty acid(BCFA) concentration was highest(p<0.05) in peanut shell(296ppm), but lowest in almond hull(90ppm). Taken together, concentration of odorous compounds was decreased by addition of almond hull in pig slurry by which crude fiber and non-digestible fiber(NDF) may act as a carbon source.

This study was performed to analyse the concentration of odorous compounds in the piggeries. Piggeries for different types of pigs include piglets, growing pigs, gestating and lactating sows. Slurry from these piggeries was sampled every month for chemical analysis. Short chain fatty acid (SCFA) was 9,862 ppm (piglet), 8,410 ppm (growing pigs), 6,791 ppm (fattening pigs), 3,508 ppm (lactating sows) and 1,687 ppm (gestating sows). Branched chain fatty acid (BCFA) was 1,634 ppm (piglet), 1,206 ppm (growing pigs), 868 ppm (fattening pigs), 493 ppm (lactating sows) and 185 ppm (gestating sows). Concentration of phenols was 209 ppm (piglet), 166 ppm (growing pigs), 127 ppm (fattening pigs), 85 ppm (lactating sows) and 36 ppm (gestating sows). Indoles was 18 ppm (piglet), 14 ppm (growing pigs), 8 ppm (fattening pigs), 6 ppm (lactating sows) and 4 ppm (gestating sows). Altogether, concentration of odorous compounds was decreased as pigs got aged.
