Composting is a promising approach for managing organic materials such as livestock manure by converting them into valuable organic fertilizers. However, composting is also associated with the release of odorous gases, including ammonia (NH3), volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), volatile fatty acids (VFAs), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Previous studies have demonstrated that the use of soybean peroxidase (SBP) combined with calcium peroxide (CaO2) can effectively reduce odor emissions, including NH3 (14.622%) and skatole (4472.6%) during the storage of pig slurry in slurry pits. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of SBP combined with CaO2 in mitigating odor emissions during dairy manure composting. Three composting treatments were tested: a control (SBP residue), a split-dose of SBP+CaOapplication (Treatment 1), and a single-dose of SBP+CaO2 application (Treatment 2).

The results indicated that both treatment groups significantly reduced NH3 emissions compared to the control. Treatment 2, involving a single dose, achieved a 19.3% reduction in overall measured NH3 emissions, while Treatment 1, with a split dose, resulted in a 13.4% reduction (p<0.05). SBP likely decreases pH, thereby preventing NH3 volatilization, and may catalyze biochemical reactions that transform nitrogen compounds such as NH3. Additionally, both treatments significantly reduced phenol emissions, with reductions of 29.8% in Treatment 2 and 15.5% in Treatment 1 (p<0.05). The role of peroxidase in polymerizing phenolic compounds is known to reduce their volatility. No significant differences were observed in VSCs and VFAs, emissions across the treatments.

These findings suggest that SBP, particularly in combination with CaO2, effectively reduces NH3 and phenol emissions during dairy manure composting, offering a promising strategy for improving air quality in livestock manure management.
