Biotesting of Volatile Organic Compounds from Quail Litter

The study investigated the effect of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by quail litter on various test organisms. Odors from litter are a significant problem, and their content, changes in VOC composition in dynamics and impact on biota are not well-studied. In biotesting, parameters such as cell viability and physiological characteristics were evaluated. Biotesting conducted on typical test objects revealed the hazard of VOCs to biota. The results are discussed in the context of VOC composition and public health safety.
