Minimising Odour From Piggeries
20 Pages
Author(s): Robyn Tucker, FSA Consulting
All piggeries produce some odour. This becomes an issue if it causes nuisance for neighbours. People vary in their tolerance of odour. The factors contributing determining whether odour becomes a nuisance include:
Frequency of occurrence
Intensity or strength
Duration of exposure
Offensiveness, or character, of odour
Location of potential receptors (e.g. houses, towns) in relation to the piggery.
Understanding and managing odour sources and taking these FIDOL factors into account, is crucial in preventing odour nuisance. This booklet provides practical guidance on preventing odour nuisance from conventional, deep litter and outdoor piggeries.
