Ingenious microorganisms used in pig and poultry farming for odor control are beneficial microbes specially applied to break down animal waste and eliminate foul-smelling gases in a natural and sustainable way.
In livestock farms, bad odor mainly comes from the decomposition of manure and urine, which release gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Microorganisms such as Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are considered ingenious because they efficiently convert these waste materials into simpler, less harmful substances. Instead of allowing harmful bacteria to produce offensive smells, these beneficial microbes dominate the environment and suppress odor-causing organisms.
These microorganisms are applied by spraying on floors, mixing with bedding, or adding to animal feed.
