Odors from livestock facilities are an issue
of concern for many communities and livestock producers. People don't like
unpleasant smell from something when they derive no direct benefit or have
no control, especially when it comes to livestock manure. Since, rural
development is continuing and the livestock industry is economically important,
it is essential for North Carolina and its communities to find adequate
solutions to the odor problem. Only after we have a thorough understanding
of the problem can we hope to find acceptable solutions.
