Due to the recent restrictions on breeding distance, it has been difficult to create new livestock industries or refurbish livestock farms. However, livestock farmers who try to reduce the odor need to relax the restrictions on breeding distance. Therefore, in this study, we carried out a survey on the restriction of breeding distance according to the Local Government Ordinance and the present situation of the odor reduction facilities used in the livestock farmers. As a result of the survey, the recommendation on the enactment and revision of the Local Government Breeding Ordinance (Plan) contained the contents of when installing and managing facilities that can reduce odors, it is possible to relax the limits of the length of new or increased or refurbished buildings' but, 151 local governments did not establish the mitigating provisions according to the recommendation's comments. However, according to the results of a survey on odor reduction facilities, each facility has a odor reduction effect, including 53.9 percent for bio-curtain, 34.9 percent for mist spraying facilities, 79.9 percent for pit recharge systems and 40 percent for scrubber (deodorization towers). Therefore, it is necessary to re-establish the criteria for restrictions of breeding distance of each animal by reflecting the mitigation conditions of the installation of the odor reduction facilities through the identification of the effect of the odor reduction facilities.
