H₂S Control for Animal Housing Systems with Liquid Manure

Gases generated in livestock housing facilities can exit the facility and make their way to downwind neighbors. Even systems that utilize external manure storage will have some manure within the housing itself, which may lead to gaseous emissions. Strategies to decrease hydrogen sulfide emissions from animal housing focus primarily on reducing the formation and movement of sulfur compounds. Five practices used to control hydrogen sulfide emission from livestock housing are discussed below.

• Filtration and Biofiltration
• Impermeable Barriers
• Oil Sprinking
• Landscaping
• Diet Manipulation
