8 additives (Bio Charge, Roebic Deod., Pit Boss, Shac, BIO-409, MS-4, Pit Shop’, Deo Odorase) have been tested during a nine month period on commercial scale in 8 farms in order to determine the impact of such additives on odour and ammonia reductions. Each of the 8 farms was paired with another identical production facility where no additive was used to be able to estimate the reduction obtained. A sampling procedure has been developed. Air sampling was realized in each building and olfactometry tests with a panel were performed within 24 hours. Ammonia and manure (analysis done: pH, total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) samplings were also realized. Pit Additive Reports give information on the testing site, the product application procedure, the product cost and the results obtained. For all 8 products tested, the cost of manure treatment was less than 0,95 CAN$ per hog produced. The results show a wide variability in the results for each products and also between the different farms used as control.
\nProducts are difficult to compare between them as the testing sites were different, resulting in different conditions. The odour level and ammonia concentration were very variable between the control farm so an important odour reduction (in percentage) in a farm that had high odour emissions could be less important in another farm where odor were less of a problem (du to building design or management). No repetition of the testing has been done. Considering all these elements, this experiment don’t help in choosing one product over another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
