Effect of liquid swine manure rate, incorporation, and timing of rainfall on phosphorus loss with surface runoff
January 1, 2002By B.L. Allen and A.P. Mallarino
Excessive manure phosphorous (P) application increases risk of P loss from fields. This study assessed total runoff P (TPR), bioavailable P (BAP), and dissolved reactive P (DRP) concentrations and...
Stratification of solids, nitrogen and phosphorus in swine manure in deep pits under slatted floors
January 1, 2002
Manure slurries stored in pits under slatted floors of both finishing and nursery barns were sampled at four different depths to study stratifications of total solids (TS) and nutrients (nitrogen and...
Characterizing ammonia emissions from swine farms in eastern north carolina: Part 1-conventional lagoon and spray technology for waste treatment
January 1, 2002By Aneja Viney P.
Ammonia (NH3) fluxes from waste treatment lagoons and barns at two conventional swine farms in eastern North Carolina were measured. The waste treatment lagoon data were analyzed to elucidate the...
Retention of nitrogen and phosphorous from liquid swine and poultry manures using highly characterized peats
January 1, 2002
This paper reports on research designed to test the hypothesis that differences in peat composition will cause differences in amounts of N and P retained during contact with liquid swine manure (LSM)...
Antibiotic-resistant enterococci and fecal indicators in surface water and groundwater impacted by a concentrated swine feeding operation
January 1, 2002By A.R. Sapkota
BACKGROUND: The nontherapeutic use of antibiotics in swine feed can select for antibiotic resistance in swine enteric bacteria. Leaking swine waste storage pits and the land-application of swine...
Protocol Development for Measurement of Trace Gases Associated with Manure Storage and Odor
December 31, 2001By Wendy Powers
Quantification of odorous compounds associated with livestock odors has been difficult
in the past due to sensitivity limitations of available instrumentation. Advances in
instrumentation have helped...
