/*
Many manure storage pits have been constructed
without providing for ventilation of the pit, particularly
in buildings constructed several years ago when pit
storage was first popular
A non-ventilated pit results in a build-up of harmful,
caustic gases, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen
sulfide, methane, ammonia and mercaptans
Hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide are heavier
than air and, as the level of pit waste rises closer to
the slats, the gases are forced closer to the animals
Results of inhaling these gases may be deep, fast
breathing from CO 2 . Hydrogen sulfide is one of the
most toxic gases to animals and humans associated
with liquid manure storage. This gas can cause
severe Irritation to the eyes and respiratory system
and sometimes can result in death.
