Abstract:
International collaboration links two research groups at
ISU and at the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences
that have a long-term goal of mitigating livestock odor.
Drs. Koziel and Hoff lead the Atmospheric Air Quality
Laboratory, the Olfactometry Laboratory, and the Air
Dispersion Laboratories.
The main
focus of these laboratories is the research of air
emissions of odor, gases, and particulates related to
swine production in particular. These three laboratories
support several USDA-National Research Initiative-funded
projects in Air Quality related to livestock operations.
Drs. Hisamitsu and Petersen lead world-class air quality
research related to swine operations in Denmark. In
particular, Dr. Hisamitsu leads a research team studying
swine odor via the combination of chemical and
olfactometry analysis. Dr. Petersen leads a research
group focused on (a) modeling of swine odor and gaseous
emissions, (b) manure management, and (3) odor and
gaseous emissions abatement. These areas are
complementary with the research focus of Drs. Koziel and
Hoff at ISU.
