The present study was conducted in the Division of Livestock Production and Management, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry (SKUAST- Kashmir) to analyze the odour and fly score cards while composting of poultry farm waste during winter and summer seasons during the year 2016 (January-March for winter trail and May-July for summer trail) under the agro climatic conditions of Kashmir Valley. The duration of each trail was 3 months. The odour and fly score card evaluation was done at every 15 days interval (stage) till the end of the trial (three months). The odour score varied between 6.25 (90^th day) and 6.75 (75^th day) during winter and 6.00 (45^th day) and 6.75 (90^th day) during summer seasons. Similarly fly score card of composting process recorded was 6.25 (60^th day) and 6.75 (45^th) was recorded during winter and 6.00 (60^th) and 6.60 (90^th day) during summer season. Season had no significant (P<0.05) effect on the odour/score cards. It was concluded that satisfactory results of odour and fly scores were observed while composting of poultry farm waste.
