Annoying odors emitted from livestock production sites can be an issue for both neighbors and producers, and can lead to nuisance lawsuits and community complaints. One way to minimize such conflicts is to provide the industry with recommendations of odor setback distances. While national/local level setback laws may exist, these distance rules may sometimes be unfair to neighbors or a producer. Hence, development and refinement of scientifically-founded odor setback models, such as the Purdue Odor Setback Model, is ongoing.
