When pig slurry is spread on nearby land the smell is vile, the house stinks, clothes smell, my family complain of headaches & the putrid smell catches in your throat. is it right the smell can be so bad, the previous framer used to spread cow slurry but never caused any adverse effects, the pig slurry smell seems to linger for alot longer & makes it very difficult working environment.
