Untreated pig farm effluents are hazardous as they can cause environmental problems. Pig farming pollution studies are rare in Malaysia as pork demand is not high compared to beef and poultry. Largest pig farming area in Seberang Perai Utara located in Kampung Selamat, Tasek Gelugor. Since 40 years ago, many villagers have complained about river pollution and the bad smell of Kampung Selamat. This study investigates the source of pollution in Sungai Kereh, showing pollution inventory comes from Kampung Selamat. The method used for this study is by using WQI and Effluent Discharge Standards issued by the Department of Environment Malaysia. This method mainly focused on the BOD, COD, DO, SS, NH3N and pH of the effluent and Sungai Kereh. Laboratory tests determined the parameters according to APHA standard methods. Parameter of temperature, pH and COD from all five pig farms’ effluent discharge comply with Standard B Effluent Discharge, but SS (P2 and P3), BOD (P3, P4 and P5) and NH3N (P3 and P4) exceeded the limits. Six points along Sungai Kereh are tested for parameter WQI. NH3N parameter is the worst as all the sampling points are classified as Class V. SK1 is the most polluted sampling point located upstream of Parit Cina. The high concentration may be from the food consumed by pigs and their faeces. The upstream of Sungai Kereh (Parit Cina) is badly polluted with WQI in Class IV and the WQI value improved to Class III downstream.
