Jan 1, 2021 · However, the composting of livestock manure also has some disadvantages which could restrict the industrialization of composting technology, including the loss of nitrogen (N) during the composting process, the high bio-availability of heavy metals, the low humus of organic matter, the residue of antibiotics and the GHGs emissions [132, 133].
Jan 1, 2021 · Composting and anaerobic digestion techniques are widely used for manure recycling, but these have shown conflicting results in the removal of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes
Oct 25, 2020 · Soil health is the capacity of the soil to provide an environment for optimum growth and development of plants, while also ensuring the health of animals and humans. Animal manure has been used for centuries as a source of nutrients in agriculture. However, many other soil properties that contribute to soil health are affected when manure is applied. Bulk density, aggregate stability
May 31, 2015 · Fate of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance during Digestion and Composting: A Review. al., 2014). The presence of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in cattle manure and swine manure has also been well documented. For example, Chen et al. (2007) reported up to 3.69 and 5.00 to 9.22 log copies g-1 of erythromycin resistance
This study explored the effects of Bacillus subtilis at four levels (0, 0.5%, 1%, and 2% w/w compost) on the variations in ARGs, mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and the bacterial community during composting. The composting process had a greater impact on ARGs than Bacillus subtilis. The main ARG detected was sul1.
The presence of large amounts of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in livestock manures poses an impending, tough safety risk to ecosystems. To investigate more comprehensively the mechanisms of ARGs removal from industrial-scale composting of livestock manure based on biochar addition, we tracked .
Key words: dairy manure compost, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, antibiotic resistance genes, microbial community diversity INTRODUCTION China has become one of the major livestock- and poultry-producing countries in the world. Because of the large production scale, more than 4 billion tons of livestock and poultry manures are produced and dis-
Oct 15, 2023 · During composting, pH is a crucial indicator of microbial activity and population composition [51].The variation in pH values during composting is also shown in Fig. 1.At the start of the composting process (Day 0), the pH of BPA pile mixture was 4.3, known to be due to food waste acidification, which produces organic acids as well as some volatile acids of low-molecular-weight
May 10, 2022 · ♦ Animal manure composting. Windrow Turning Machine is widely used in kinds of poultry & livestock manure composting sites. In our previous research, we have posted 2 articles on its functions in Chicken Manure Composting and Pig Manure Windrow Composting! Besides that, windrow turners can also be used in horse manure/cow dung/bedding
Jul 1, 2020 · Compost is often used for the harmless treatment of livestock manure. Composting is a complex biochemical process that relies on the interaction of highly diverse microbial communities to convert
Mar 5, 2021 · Several studies have evaluated composting to remove hormones in manure. After a 76-day composting study, the total concentrations of steroid hormones in beef cattle manure were reduced by up to 87% (Bartelt-Hunt et al., 2013). A study on poultry manure reported that the levels of water-soluble E2β and testosterone decreased by 84% and 90%
Turning manure is essential to composting manure. Turning compost incorporates oxygen into the system, homogenizes the pile and breaks up clumps. Turning allows more contact of manure with microbes. Producers have various ways to turn the pile. The two most common for turning compost are with a windrow turner (Figure 7) or bucket tractor.
Sep 1, 2022 · Enhancing compost production with energy recovery systems will improve circularity levels of both small- and large-scale composting practices. Beside mathematical models, inoculation of compost with specific microorganisms is another approach to reduce the cycle time of composting.
Jul 27, 2023 · This study provides compelling evidence that the cow manure composting equipment proposed herein significantly enhances the efficiency of livestock manure composting while yielding high-quality organic fertilizer.
Aug 18, 2023 · The study describes the analysis of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria (ARB) abundance and the overall bacterial diversity of cattle farm soils that have been treated with animal manure compost. Our results showed that ARB abundance was greatest in fresh manure and significantly lower in composted manure.
