Description: To improve cohabitation and reduce apprehension in the municipalities, future buildings in swine production should be designed and built for generating less odors and harmful and pollutants gases than old buildings. However, a misunderstanding of the influence of housing design on odor emissions and a high variability in emission values were revealed by the review conducted by Godbout et al. (2012). In addition to these gaps, studies often provide poor precise description of buildings. For establishing a representative emission value and contributing to the design of new generation buildings, this project aims to evaluate the hypothesis that increasing the percentage of slatted floor significantly reduces odor and gas (NH3, CH4 and N2O) emissions. Tests are being carried out during the writing of this abstract, however, paper will present the detailed results. Mainly, the paper presents first an update of the information from an exhaustive review of the recent studies, and second, the results of a preliminary comparison study. For this study, odor and gas emissions from a fully slatted floor barn are compared to 1/3 slatted floor (2/3 solid floor barn). Emissions will be calculated and analysed in order to compare both floor types and to develop a simplified and economical method for emission measurement in further tests in other 12 barns. Results of this second stage will be available in future publications. The whole set of results will make possible to determine the type of floor emitting less odors and thus facilitate acceptance of construction or renovation projects of swine producers.
