January 1, 1999By Jiayang Cheng
Nitrogen and phosphorus removal from swine lagoon liquid by growing Lemna minor 8627, a promising duckweed identified in previous studies, was investigated under in vitro and field conditions. The...
Field evaluation of a wet pad scrubber for controlling dust and odor emissions
January 1, 1999
An evaporative cooling pad system was installed upwind of exhaust fans and downwind of pigs in a tunnel ventilated finishing building to determine effectiveness in reducing dust, ammonia, and odours....
Persistence of zoonotic pathogens in surface soil treated with different rates of liquid pig manure
January 1, 1999By Sagar M. Goyal
Zoonotic pathogens found in land-applied livestock manure may persist in the soil and be transported by runoff into surface waters, contributing to degradation of water quality. Manure management...
Land application of animal manure and phosphorus cycling in soil
January 1, 1999
Repeated land application of animal manure at rates to satisfy N requirements for crops may increase soil P to levels that cause environmental concern. Biochemical and microbiological parameters are...

Pork Fat and Lipid Metabolism
November 1, 1998By Pramod Khosla
If pork is to become the “meat of choice” by the year 2000, the consumer needs to be convinced of pork’s superiority, or at least its similarity with poultry (specifically chicken), in terms of it being an effective component of a “heart-healthy” diet.
