Simulated and measured effect of rectangular obstructions on carbon dioxide gas dispersion in a scaled swine building
January 1, 1995By S. J. Hoff
Gas dispersion from shallow manure storage pits was experimentally measured and mathematically modeled in a 1:6-scale ventilation chamber. The chamber represents a geometrically scaled model of a...
Edge-of-field losses of surface-applied animal manure
January 1, 1995
Poultry and swine production are important aspects of Arkansas agricultural economy. As these industries have grown, so have concderns regarding the proper utilization and disposal of the associated...
Estimated seepage losses from established swine waste lagoons in the lower coastal plain of North Carolina
January 1, 1995By Rodney L. Huffman
Eleven well-established, swine waste lagoon systems in the lower coastal plain of North Carolina were examined for evidence of seepage losses to the superficial aquifer. The sites were selected to...
A Simple Design and Operation for the Anaerobic Treatment of Highly Concentrated Swine Waste in the Tropics
January 1, 1995By P. Y. Yang
In order to develop a simple operation for an anaerobic treatment process for highly concentrated pig wastewater for small producers, a three-stage anaerobic treatment process was investigated. The...

A method to evaluate appropriate nipple drinker flow rates for pigs
January 1, 1995By Peter A. Phillips
A method was developed for measuring how different water flow rates from nipple drinkers affect the actual rates of water intake and spillage by pigs. A combination of video and electronic techniques...
Effects of swine lagoon effluent and commercial fertilizer applications on phosphorus status of an acid and alkaline soil
January 1, 1994By Ardeshir Adeli
Two separate field experiments were conducted in Brooksville, Mississippi to evaluate the effects of swine lagoon effluent relative to inorganic fertilizer at equivalent rates on phosphorus (P)...
Headspace analysis of malodorous compounds from swine wastewater under aerobic treatment
January 1, 1994By A. Chen
Static headspace sampling and gas chromatograph (GC) analyses were used to monitor the concentration of malodorous compounds (volatile fatty acids (VFA), phenol, p-cresol, indole, and skatole)...
Potential reduction of struvite formation from anaerobic swine lagoon effluent by treatment in constructed wetlands
January 1, 1994By Dennis M. Sievers
Effluents from both cells of a two-cell anaerobic lagoon system treating flushed swine waste from the University of Missouri Swine Farm were treated in parallel constructed wetlands - submerged flow...
Comparability of anaerobic swine lagoon effluent to commercial fertilizer on soil nutrient dynamics
January 1, 1994By A. Adeli
The effects of swine effluent relative to commercial fertilizer on nutrient dynamics in two soils were studied in Mississippi, USA. Swine effluent and commercial fertilizer were applied to...
A computer model for predicting ammonia release rates
January 1, 1994
A computer model for predicting ammonia release rates from manure pits in pig buildings is presented. The model couples ammonia diffusion and generation in the manure with ammonia release from the...
