      technologies or strategies to accomplish the purposes provided in
      section 266.42.
         b.  The university shall evaluate technologies or strategies

      which demonstrate promise to accomplish the purposes provided in
      section 266.42.  The technologies and strategies may include but are
      not limited to the following:
         (1)  The adaption and use of modeling to locate livestock
      operations associated with keeping livestock in addition to swine,
      and to locate livestock operations utilizing odor mitigation devices,
      techniques, or strategies.
         (2)  The installation, maintenance, and use of odor mitigating
      devices, techniques, or strategies.
         (3)  The use of topical treatments applied to manure originating
      with livestock operations keeping chickens and turkeys.
         2.  Nothing in this section restricts the university from
      conducting its evaluation at livestock operations, including as
      provided in section 266.43.  A livestock producer who is classified
      as a habitual violator pursuant to section 459.604 or a chronic
      violator pursuant to section 657.11 shall not participate in a basic
      or applied research project under this section unless the livestock
      producer contributes one hundred percent of the total costs of
      conducting the project.
