Odors from livestock facilities have been identified as a significant point of conflict between producers and their surrounding neighbors.

While investigations have been made to identify and characterize odor and associated chemicals for the first two odor sources, very few studies have addressed odor from land-applied manure. Significant challenges exist in the characterization of odors from land-applied manure. These are specifically: 1) The odor emission and dispersion is highly dependent upon weather conditions, and 2) Collection...
