Relationship between Antibiotics in Water and Rates of Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Transfer
January 12, 2006By Randall Singer
There is growing concern about the fate of antibiotics and antibiotic residues in the environment. These compounds can potentially have selective effects on bacteria, thus amplifying the resistance...
Characteristics of solids, BOD5 and VFAs in liquid swine manure treated by short-term low-intensity aeration for long-term storage
January 1, 2006By JUN ZHU
A laboratory-scale experiment presents data that reveal the temporal characteristics of solids, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in the aerated liquid swine manure for...
Ammonia recovery from swine belt separated liquid
January 1, 2006By Sarah K. Liehr
An evaluation of the feasibility of ammonia stripping for ammonia recovery from waste liquid resulting from an in-house belt separation system is presented. The liquid stream produced is a ...
Ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions from two acidic soils of Nova Scotia fertilised with liquid hog manure mixed with or without dicyandiamide
January 1, 2006By M.S. Mkhabela Department of Engineering
Gaseous nitrogen (N) loss from field-applied manure in the form of ammonia (NH3) and nitrous oxide (N2O) has negative agronomic, environmental and health implications. This study was undertaken to...
Bioleaching of zinc and copper from anaerobically digested swine manure: Effect of sulfur levels and solids contents
January 1, 2006By Shihwu Sung
Anaerobically digested swine manure (ADSM) generally contains high concentrations of zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu). These metals levels exceed the land application regulations of municipal biosolids of...
Influence of tillage and liquid swine manure on productivity of a soybean-barley rotation and some properties of a fine sandy loam in Prince Edward Island
January 1, 2006By Carter MR
Interactions between tillage management for manure incorporation and rate of manure application may influence crop productivity and soil properties. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of...
Design and evaluation of a regenerating scrubber for reducing animal house emissions
January 1, 2006By Sanjay B. Shah
Animal houses can emit substantial quantities of air pollutants. Compared with other pollutants, ammonia is emitted from animal houses in relatively large quantities and can have adverse public...
Phosphorus fractions in manure from growing pigs receiving diets containing micronized peas and supplemental enzymes
January 1, 2006By O.O. Akinremi
Different livestock feeds manipulations have been reported to reduce the total P concentration in manure. Information on the influence of these dietary manipulation strategies on the forms of P in...
Alum Settling and Filtration Treatment of Liquid Swine Manure
January 1, 2006By Mohamed Gamal El-Din
A physical/chemical treatment train, which involved preliminary settling for 24 h followed by coagulation/flocculation of supernatant, and filtration, was applied to raw flushed swine manure in...
UV inactivation of bacteria in raw and pre-treated liquid swine manure
January 1, 2006By Environmental Engineering|P. SINGH Department of Civil
The study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation for inactivating coliform bacterial indicators in liquid swine manure samples using a laboratory-scale,...
