Effects of the Odor Abatement System in a Naturally Ventilated Growing Finishing Pig House

자연환기식 육성.비육돈사의 악취탈취장치 적용효과

Ammonia gas is one of the malodorous gases from swine production facilities, such as manure storage tank, manure fermentation facilities, and livestock houses, etc. Ammonia gas from swine house is being emitted at relatively low concentrations throughout the year. Therefore, livestock facilities were continuously ventilated to supply fresh air for respiration of the animals internal the livestock facilities. The swine facilities need very high ventilation rate to control the inside environmental conditions. The deodorization system of the livestock facilities must be developed considering the ventilation rates. The odor abatement system was installed in order to improve the internal environment of the naturally ventilated growing-finishing pig house. The system which distributes the deodorized air into inner space of the swine house by using plastic duct was installed. Since the internal environment, effected by the operation of the odor abatement system, is monitored by closing the winch curtain installed on the side wall of the pig house, the experiment was practiced at the season when the internal environment becomes aggravated, winter. The effects on the improvement in the internal environment of swine house by operating the odor abatement system are as follows ; 1. By re-distributing the air which was deodorized by the odor abatement system installed in the pig house, the result showed that the concentration of ammonia gas is decreased approximately 33.3% compared with that before operating odor abatement system. 2. The effect on the pig house's ammonia gas reduction was found that the ventilation rate was less than $0.5m^3$/min head. The effect of the operation of the odor abatement system showed to be scarce when the ventilation rate increases because of the influx of external fresh air makes the quantity of diluted air more than those of the odor abatement system. 3. The perishment rate of the pigs which were brooded until slaughtering decreased about 3.8% by operating the odor abatement system in the growing-finishing pig house. Also, after operating the odor abatement system, the stinging of the eyes, suspension dust, etc were decreased when going into swine house for management.

자연환기식 육성 비육돈사의 내부 사육환경을 개선하고자 돈사내부에 악취탈취장치를 설치하였다. 악취탈취장치에서 탈취한 공기는 덕트를 이용하여 돈사내부에 분배되도록 하였다. 악취탈취장치의 가동에 따른 내부의 환경은 돈사의 측벽에 설치된 윈치커튼을 닫아 관리하기 때문에 내부의 환경이 열악해지는 겨울철에 실시하였다. 악취탈취장치를 가동하면서 분석한 돈사의 내부환경 개선효과는 다음과 같다. 1. 돈사내부에 설치한 악취탈취장치에서 탈취된 후 배출된 공기를 돈사내부에 재분배함으로써 악취탈취장치 가동전보다 돈사내부의 암모니아 가스 농도를 약 33.3% 줄일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 돈사의 암모니아 가스 저감효과는 돈사의 환기율이 $0.5m^3/m$ 두 이하인 경우에 나타났으며, 환기율이 많아지면 외부의 신선한 공기의 유입에 의해 희석되는 양이 악취탈취 장치에서 배출된 공기량보다 많아 악취탈취 장치 가동에 의한 내부 환경개선 효과는 작은 것으로 나타났다. 3. 육성 비육돈사에 악취탈취장치를 가동하면서 돼지를 입식하여 출하 때까지 사육한 결과 악취탈취장치 설치전과 비교하여 돼지의 폐사율이 약 3.8% 줄어들었으며, 탈취장치 가동후 돈사내부에 관리를 위해 들어갈 때 눈 따가움, 부유먼지 등이 크게 줄어든 것으로 나타났다.
