This study aimed to survey the chemical change and germination effect of anaerobic digestate after pH adjustment and aerobic treatment. The amount of ammonia (NH 3 ) in swine slurry anaerobic digestates (SS AD) of pH 7.0 and pH 6.5 were lower than that of un-adjusted anaerobic digestate. Especially, the anaerobic digestate with pH 6.5 had the lowest NH 3 generation. The amount of NH 4 -N has been gradually decreasing in the untreated anaerobic digestate, however, the anaerobic digestates with pH 7.0 and pH 6.5 showed no significant changes. In the germination tests with different methods, the germination index (GI) of anaerobic digestates with pH 7.0 and pH 6.5 was higher than that of un-adjusted anaerobic digestate. Thus, the pH adjustment will be useful to decrease the gas generation such as NH 3 , which causes the odor generated from anaerobic digestate.
