In this study, the main odorous substances were selected for each swine facility by investigating the concentration and occurrence characteristics of odorous substances according to farm facilities. The objective was to find a solution to manage odor effectively in swine farms. Samples collected from the boundary site, manure storage, fan, and indoor the swine building were analyzed for concentration, odor activity value (OAV), and odor contribution. As a result, there was a difference in the concentration of odorous substances as well as the tendency of OAV in each swine facility. Also, the main substances of odor in the farms were similar, but odor contribution differed from facility to facility. Therefore, it is considered that the odor management efficiency will be improved only if the proper odor reduction method is applied according to the types of main odorous substances in swine facilities.

As of 2014, 26.4% of the total regulated odor emission facilities are occupied by livestock facilities. The odor of pigs is 10.9 OU·m3 / min per pig, which generates 15-50 times higher odor than other livestock. It is also a major cause of livestock odor complaint. Livestock odor substance is mixed 169 kinds of ingredients, 30 of which can be detected as odor. It contains sulfur, volatile fatty acids, phenols and indoles, ammonia and volatile amines. In particular, odorous substances of phenols and indole derivatives not included in domestic designated odor substances have high odor contribution and are not well decomposed. Therefore, it is known that despite the use of the odor reducing agent having a high removal rate of ammonia and the like, the residue is long and causes continuous discomfort. The odor problem using physical and chemical methods can not be solved because it can not solve the fundamental problem if the animal odor is not decomposed or removed. In the anaerobic environment, the bacteria present in the manure may produce volatile organic compounds, which are the cause of the odor, and the odor may be generated, and some microorganisms decomposing the odor substances may reduce the odor. B. subtillis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, L. acidophillus, Enterococcus faecium, L. plantarum, B.coagulans, B. fermentum, B. thuringiensis, B. licheniormis, B. subtillis, Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus acidophllus, L. fermentum, L. lactis, L. plantarum, L. casei, L. brevis, Streptococcus faecium, Clostridium butyricum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus niger, A. oryzae, and photosynthetic bacteria are used as odor-reducing microorganisms.

This study aimed to estimate the odor emission rate from swine nursery facilities (naturally and mechanically ventilated) using probability distribution. Odor occurrence trends in the study facilities were very different; odor concentration and gas flow had a lognormal distribution. Monte Carlo simulation was used to carry out the uncertainty analysis. Odor emission rate was found to range from 18.05 OU/sec (10th percentile) to 621.88 OU/ sec (90th percentile), and odor emission rate per head ranged from 0.02 OU/sec · head (10th percentile) to 0.64 OU/ sec · head (90th percentile).

In this study, swine and cattle farms located in Jeollanam-do were selected to analyze and evaluate the components of odorants in livestock facilities. In addition, a preliminary survey of the literature was conducted to establish a sampling and analysis method for phenol and indoles which are major components of odor emissions from livestock facilities, yet are not regulated by the laws. To establish a sampling and analysis method for phenol and indoles, Tedlar bag and Tenax-TA sorbent tube was used as background concentration of blank sample and samples according to the elapsed time. The results obtained indicate the GC/MS analysis with Tenax-TA sorbent tube sampling was an effective method for measuring the compounds of phenol and indoles. In the swine facility, the rankings of the odorants in order, from highest to lowest, were ammonia, sulfuric compounds, phenol/indoles, volatile fatty acids. The main odorants were hydrogen sulfide (41.3%) and 4-methylphenol (p-cresol, 13.9%). In the swine slurry storage, hydrogen sulfide (33.7%), ammonia (18.8%), and 3-methylindole (skatole, 15.7%) were the main odorants, and hydrogen sulfide (31%) and i-valeric acid (32.4%) were the main odorants in the cattle farms.

This study was carried out to prepare for the basic data to properly treat the swine manure targeting 19 pig farms in Daejung-eup in Jeju Island. Swine breeding facility can be classified largely as scraper piggery, slurry piggery and recirculating piggery based on their types. Generation flux source unit and generated source unit for each swine breeding facility have been calculated. The average generated flux source unit for the scrapper piggery was 4.57 L/d, for the slurry piggery 3.27 L/d, and for the recirculating type 2.57 L/d. The generation source units for the scraper piggery were 37,796.3 mg/L of BOD5, 25,853.0 mg/L of CODMn, 39,843.8 mg/L of SS, 28,390.5 mg/L of T-N, and 890.1 mg/L of T-P; for the slurry piggery 45,974.2 mg/L of BOD5, 29,582.4 mg/L of CODMn, 69,190.6 mg/L of SS, 29,210.4 mg/L of T-N, and 1,370.6 mg/ L of T-P; and for the recirculating piggery 32,953.9 mg/L of BOD5, 21,698.4 mg/L of CODMn, 46,816.5 mg/L of SS, 19,464.3 mg/L of T-N, and 979.2 mg/L of T-P. In summary, the average generation flux source unit of the swine manure from 19 pig farms of Daejung-eup in Jeju Island was 3.47 L/d, and the average generation source unit of the manure was 38,908.1 mg/L of BOD5, 25,711.3 mg/L of CODMn, 51,950.3 mg/L of SS, 25,688.4 mg/L of T-N, and 1,080.0 mg/L of T-P.
