Potential Odor Risk

1. Manure is handled as a ...

Slurry or liquid
Solid with limited dry organic matter (bedding) additions
Solid with substantial dry organic matter (bedding) additions

Corresponding magnitude of risk

 
Cleanliness of indoor confinement
Rate (by selecting the appropriate response) the cleanliness of your animal housing.

2. Cleanliness of animals.

Seldom cleaned
Cleaned occasionally
Cleaned frequently and thoroughly

Corresponding magnitude of risk

3. Manure and feed accumulation on floors and walkways.

Seldom cleaned
Cleaned occasionally
Cleaned frequently and thoroughly

Corresponding magnitude of risk

4. Manure buildup on the floor.

Seldom cleaned
Cleaned occasionally
Cleaned frequently and thoroughly

Corresponding magnitude of risk

5. Feed spillage (outdoors).

Seldom cleaned
Cleaned occasionally
Cleaned frequently and thoroughly

Corresponding magnitude of risk

6. Manure or contaminated water around outside of facility.

Seldom cleaned
Cleaned occasionally
Cleaned frequently and thoroughly

Corresponding magnitude of risk

7. Weed growth, debris, and accumulation around facility.

Seldom cleaned
Cleaned occasionally
Cleaned frequently and thoroughly

Corresponding magnitude of risk

 
Drainage around indoor confinement

8. Rate the drainage around your animal housing relative to that of other similar production facilities.

Not as clean as other facilities
At least as clean as typical facilities
As dry or drier than all other facilities

Corresponding magnitude of risk

9. Is manure controlled and collected?

Some manure regularly pools or accumulates in areas around the animal housing.
Some manure occasionally pools or accumulates in areas around the animal housing.
All manure is contained within housing and not allowed to collect around animal housing.

Corresponding magnitude of risk

10. Frequency of manure and waste feed removal?

Less than once per week
Manure is removed every two to seven days.
Manure is flushed or scraped from a facility at least once a day.
      OR
      Animals are heavily bedded to maintain dry conditions.

Corresponding magnitude of risk

11. Recharge water for filling shallow pits after they are emptied?

No recharge water is used after draining a pit.
Shallow pits are recharged with at least 4 inches of recycled lagoon or storage water.
Shallow pits are recharged with at least 4 inches of fresh water.

Corresponding magnitude of risk

12. Dust minimization in confined facilities?

Few efforts have been made to control dust.
Housing facilities use some "low-risk" dust control practices.
Three or more of the following are implemented:

• Diet contains significant amounts of fat or oil (e.g., 50 lb per ton or more added fat).
• Liquid feeding systems
• Drop tubes on all augers
• Housing sprayed with vegetable oil daily

Corresponding magnitude of risk
