The shutdown will happen if 'two complaints are made concerning offensive odours emanating from the plant in any three-hour period', the agreement states. When that happens, the council will switch back to its old milliscreen system, which is less effective at treating the sewage."

Frankenswine: Pigs genetically modified not to smell | Mail Online: "It looks, sounds and, according to its creators, tastes like a normal pig.

But this is no ordinary farmyard animal. The specially-bred Yorkshire pig is the first of a new generation of ‘Frankenswine’ – genetically modified hogs designed to be cheaper and greener.

The creators of the GM superpig, nicknamed the Enviropig, say its manure contains less phosphorus than normal slurry and poses less risk to rivers, streams and lakes."
