I think this will probably be one of the biggest challenges for this project. Bovine excrement and odour are very briefly mentioned in the article, but not nearly in enough detail.
While the dairy machinery itself is usually well cleaned after every milking, and the milk itself will be tested for bacteria counts, the areas surrounding a dairy are almost always very, very difficult to keep clean. Even with regularly cleaned dairy machinery, the heady aroma mix of sloppy faeces, urine and dried milk will be pervasive.
I'm personally not bothered by it, having worked on a dairy for several seasons, but I can imagine that not everyone will be quite as comfortable in that environment.
