Why is a pig smelly?

This smell is due to the amount of proteins that the pigs are eating and the microorganisms that are present in the manure. These microorganisms that are found in manure are anaerobic, meaning that they begin to work in the presence of air; they will break down and degrade the manure. This process is what causes the bad odour of the manure. The more protein that the animal is fed, the more microorganisms that will be present, causing more rancid smells.
