A protocol was developed and tested to evaluate commercial manure additives in pig finishing barns. The ammonia and manure were analysed for fertilizer value. Air samples, collected at regular intervals in a consistent manner, were analysed for odour threshold with a triangular force choice olfactometer. This approach allows a direct comparison of treated and untreated facilities to be made simultaneously under the conditions in which the additives would be used.
