Abstract: In recent years, odor pollution caused by livestock and poultry feces had gradually become the focus of public concern. Generation and reduction of odors were a complex processes that involved a variety of bacterial species, and some microbes played a major role in the process. Therefore, it was the key to develop effective odor control techniques that understanded bacterial genera indigenous to livestock manure and their potential for odorous compound production. This paper reviewed the available information related to the types of bacteria in livestock manure, the main odorous compounds associated with different bacterial genera, and the new techniques used to control odor based on microbiological principles at home and abroad.

Key words: microbiology; livestock manure; odorous compound; odorous control techniques
