Diurnal and seasonal variations of odor emissions from broiler and cage-layer barns in the Canadian Prairies
2020
Huang, Dandan | Guo, Huiqing
Odor concentrations (OC) and emissions (OE) were measured for a commercial broiler barn and a cage-layer barn in a cold region (the Canadian Prairies). Seasonal OC and OE profiles were plotted by monthly measurements over the course of a year from March 2015 to February 2016, and diurnal profiles were generated by 2-day measurements in cold, mild, and warm seasons, respectively. Seasonal OC and OE varied for both barns; OC was higher in the cold season, but OE was higher in the mild and warm seasons. The broiler barn had higher annual average OC (718 OU m⁻³) but slightly lower annual average OE (127 OU s⁻¹ AU⁻¹; AU is per 500 kg of body mass) than the layer barn (574 OU m⁻³ and 140 OU s⁻¹ AU⁻¹). For the layer barn, OC and OE were reduced by 31% and 33% in the cold season and by 30% and 26% in the mild season after manure removal compared with before manure removal. Statistical results showed increased outdoor temperature and ventilation rate (VR) were associated with decreased OC but increased OE for both barns. Finally, both single linear and multi-linear regression models of OE were developed.
