The cover video describes different types of covers, their use, costs and effectiveness', management and operation considerations. An animal feeding operation employee discusses cover use, costs and management.
Biofilters and covers are two techniques that some livestock producers are using to manage odors and gas emissions from their operations. 
Covers reduce odor and gas emissions from manure storage units by creating a barrier between the odor source and air blowing by above the source. Impermeable covers can reduce emissions by 90 percent or more. Separate videos discuss their use, costs and expected benefits. for more see: http://www.extension.org/pages/67057/manure-covers-and-biofilters-for-managing-odor-and-air-emissions
