Hello,
This evening I was pitching out the straw bedding and the ammonia smell in the building was about unbearable. I was wondering if any of you guys knew of ny tricks to help the air quality improve. I change straw every third day and use a good shot of barn lime down on the cement before I bed down the new straw. I get them up and out every morning and evening and lock them out for about 15 or 20 minutes (depending upon the weather) to ensure that they have a chance to mess outside at least twice a day (feed and water is outdoors as well). The building is a older pitched roof building with 10 foot walls. It has been used for hogs since it was constructed in the 1930's. I have fed a few groups of winter hogs before and never had this much difficulty with air quality before. It has been been cold, but has been warming up since I last cleaned it out Sunday evening. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
