Sumario:Production of odors is a complex process. Many bacterial species are involved in the production of an extensive array of key odor compounds in stored pig slurry. Understanding of basic microbial communities and their role during storage periods is an essential way to control and prevent the odors generations. In this aspect, the pig slurry samples were taken directly from deep pits of finisher pig building every two weeks, their biochemical changes were analysed, and the indigenous bacterial communities that involve in offensive odor producing compounds were identified. The SCFA, BCFA, phenols, and indoles levels altered drastically in the slurry during storage periods. The COD, BOD, SS, P(2)O(5), TKN, and NH(4)-N were increased in the stored slurry. Bacterial ecology indicates Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla were dominantly found in pig slurry. Odorants produced in pig slurry were correlated with bacterial communities. Phenols, indoles, SCFA, and BCFA productions were positively correlated with bacteria species which comes under phyla of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. It seems that bacterial species under Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla play an important role in the offensive odor compounds production. Taken together, the prevention of these phyla bacterial growth and early discharge of pig slurry might reduce the offensive odor production.
