Public Concern Over Agricultural Odors Is Nothing To Sniff At…

Feedlots:
In recent years, feedlots, also known as concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), have become prominent in agricultural law as 44 of the 50 states have regulations that deal directly or indirectly with odors from CAFOs.  Nuisance lawsuits can threaten the survival of feedlot operations and livestock producers can control the evolution of odorous compounds with the correct ratio of AG-ODOR Orange Juice in their spray system operations.

Rendering plants (i.e.-slaughter-houses):
According to the National Renderers Association, the rendering industry recycles approximately 36 billion pounds of inedible animal by-products each year that produces malodors. This has prompted communities located near rendering plants to call for more stringent odor control measures. AG-ODOR Orange Juice is the odor-masking agent that eliminates this problem.

Poultry farms:
Livestock and poultry producers are becoming concerned about the odors that are generated from their operations including; manure storage systems, deep pits in pig barns, earthen basins on dairy farms, and solid manure packs in poultry barns.  The impact of odors on their neighbors and on their own family and employees is forcing some producers to consider odor-control technologies; AG-ODOR Orange Juice is an ideal solution.

Swine facilities:
Odor nuisance has become a major problem in the swine industry. As swine facilities become larger and more odoriferous, local economies, property values and community dynamics are often adversely affected. Foul-smelling dust plays a major role in the spreading of odor and AG-Odor Orange Juice is rapidly becoming recognized as an effective solution.

Sludge-ponds:
Environmental wastewater problems occur in many municipalities and AG-ODOR Orange Juice is one of the new technologies used to regulate this livestock operational problem.  Animals are housed in raised facilities where their waste is transferred to a sludge-pond that creates odors in the barn and surrounding communities.  The waste of the sludge-pond is sucked dry and transported via agricultural tankers with pneumatic sprayers that spray the sludge on field crops. AO Orange juice can be mixed right in the sludge or the spray tanks to eliminate the odor.
