Treatment of animal and poultry waste to reduce odor

A process for treating animal and poultry wastes to reduce odors comprising:

• treating an amount of odor producing animal or poultry waste with a lactic acid bacteria medium, wherein:
• the odors reduced are offensive odors of ammonia, mercaptan, and hydrogen sulfide,
• the lactic acid bacteria are derived from leafy vegetables,
• the lactic acid bacteria medium is a liquid medium which is cultivated without sorting out bacteria derived from the leafy vegetables, and
• the treating is by spraying with the lactic acid bacteria medium containing a lactic acid bacteria concentration of at least 10×106 cfg/gram,
• wherein the spraying is at a rate of about 200 ml of the lactic acid bacteria medium per square meter, at least twice a week.
