  abstract = {This study was done to investigate the effects of varying dietary protein levels (DPLs) and season on fecal microbes and odorous compounds in growing and finishing pigs. Thirty-six Landrace pigs were blocked based on their body weight and within each block assigned to one of the three dietary treatments (3 replicates (pens) per treatment). The DPLs used in the growing stage were 142.7, 155.4 and 174.9 gkg-1 while in the finishing stage were 97.3, 106.3 and 116.9 gkg-1, respectively following a 3 x 3 factorial arrangement. In the growing stage, DPL and season did not alter the population of fecal aerobic bacteria, Salmonella spp, E. coli, other Gram-negative bacteria, total enterobactericiae and fungi. However, fecal coliform count increased significantly from 2.67 x 103 to 6.3 x 106 Colony Forming Unit (CFU)/g (p},
