Fate and transport of E. coli in soil and subsurface settings: Swine Waste Management within the context of TMDL’s
February 4, 2004By Ronald F. Turco|Sylvie Brouder
The development of manure application recommendations has not taken into account the survival, movement and biotic interactions of bacteria in agricultural soils, and in fact may enhance survival of...

PCV-2 viral DNA(s) are Infectious for Gnotobiotic Swine
January 23, 2004By Steven Krakowka
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) infection is now recognized to be a common subclinical infection of swine of all ages. Disease expression as postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) is...
Establishing Effects of application of Swine Manure on Crop Leaf Damage to Growing Crops
January 12, 2004By Charles Shapiro
Swine manure from a below barn storage facility was applied to growing corn
and soybeans to determine phytotoxic effects. The manure had an electrical
conductivity of around 20 mmhos/cm and was...

Well-Being of Early Weaned Piglets During Transport: Assessment of Seasonal Effects on Performance
January 5, 2004By Nora J. Lewis|Robert J. Berry
Impact of transport: Behavior during transport provides us with indicators of the immediate problems faced by piglets during transport and the coping strategies of the piglets. We can look at each...
Synthetic covers for emissions control from earthen embanked swine lagoons – part II: Negative pressure lagoon cover
January 1, 2004
One of the significant odor sources on swine farms is manure storage. This study investigated reducing odor and gas emissions from a 29- x 39-m anaerobic swine lagoon by capturing gases beneath a...
Conversion of Hog Manure to Diesel Fuel
January 1, 2004By Alfred Tiller
The process defined in objective one above needs further elucidation to
clarify any misunderstandings that might occur. During the past few years we
discovered that ag-waste, particularly animal...
Emissions of N2O and CH4 during the composting of liquid swine manure
January 1, 2004By C. Wagner-Riddle
Composted organic wastes have been shown to reduce emissions of N2O and CH4, but little is known about the release of these gases during the composting process. This research examined the emissions...
Yield and nutrient export of grain corn fertilized with raw and treated liquid swine manure
January 1, 2004By M.H. Chantigny
Treatment of liquid swine manure (LSM) is an option to improve nutrient management. Mineral fertilizer, raw LSM, and LSM treated by anaerobic digestion, flocculation, filtration, or natural...
Effects of operating temperature and supplemental nutrients in a pilot-scale agricultural biofilter
January 1, 2004By O.G. Clark
In this study, the objective was to determine if different operating temperatures and/or the addition of supplemental inorganic nutrients affected the odour removal capacity of two pilot-scale,...
Nutrition and feed management strategies to reduce nutrient excretions and odors from swine manure
January 1, 2004By A. L. Sutton
Manipulation of the pig's diet to reduce nutrient excretions and odors is feasible and practical. Avoiding excessive dietary protein, using high quality protein sources, and feeding low protein,...
