I can, at last, complete my resume.
Purdue Students Sniff Poop for Cash
Purdue University students are making some extra cash through a project that might turn some of their
classmates’ stomachs — by sniffing livestock excrement. Students earn $30 per session as they take
whiffs of a variety of smells collected from barns filled with hogs, cows and chickens for odor research
being conducted by Albert Heber, a Purdue professor of agricultural and biological engineering.
“Typically they’re farm smells — manure, farm waste, hay. The only thing that is good is that we are not
smelling it for a long time. It’s just a sniff,” said civil engineering graduate student Anuj Sharma.
The students’ work provides Heber with data for his ongoing research on ways to improve methods for
estimating a given livestock farming operation’s odor emissions.
