Abstract:
... In this study, the microbial mechanism of reducing methanogenesis during membrane-covered aerobic composting from solid dairy manure was investigated. An industrial-scale experiment was carried out to compare a static composting group (SC) and a forced aeration composting group (AC) with a semipermeable membrane-covered composting group (MC + AC). The results showed that the semipermeable membrane ...

Abstract:
... This study aimed to investigate the changes of swine and dairy manure characteristics during a long-term storage (150–180 days) under 4 °C, 20 °C, and 37 °C, sealed and unsealed conditions. Water extractable phosphorus (WEP) of both manures rapidly increased during the first 15–30 days and then decreased. At the end of the storage, the WEP reduction was 90%±3% and 71%±5% of the initial concentrati ...

Abstract:
... The present study evaluated if enteric bacteria or antibiotic resistance genes carried in fecal amendments contaminate the hay at harvest, representing a potential route of exposure to ruminants that consume the hay. In the field experiments, dairy manure was applied to a hay field for three successive growing seasons, and biosolids were applied to a hay field for one growing season. Various enter ...

Abstract:
... Variability of dairy process wastewater (PWW) nitrogen (PWW‐N) content makes precise fertilizing of forage challenging. Our objective was to improve measurement accuracy of PWW‐N. We characterized PWW‐N and quantified its variability using over 1,000 PWW samples from 91 lagoons on commercial California dairies. We used statistical modeling and stochastic simulations to compare the accuracy of vari ...

Abstract:
... Antibiotic resistance is an emerging risk for human and animal health, and mitigating the risk requires an improved understanding of various sources of risks and identifying the level of threats for each source. Many antibiotics are currently used against pathogens for treating infections in animals and humans, and it is considered that antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) acquired by pathogens may ...

The aims of this study were to assess the large-scale extraction and recovery of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) biosynthesized by mixed microbial consortia (MMC) that was fed fermented dairy manure at the pilot level using green solvents (ethanol, cyclohexanone (CYC), and dimethyl carbonate (DMC)). The reflux extraction procedure with CYC for 3 h at 130 °C and DMC for 4 h at 9 ...

Abstract:
... Rapid composting by black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) may be insufficient to maturation and humification of composting and further composting is necessary. The purpose of this study was to explore cornstalk addition on toxic metals (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd), toxic metals resistance bacterial (TMRB) destiny and their relationship with physicochemical factors during BSFL manure composting. High-throughput s ...

Abstract:
... In this study, the response of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), mobile gene elements (intI1), and human bacterial pathogens (HBPs) to addition of manure biochar (1–10 g/L) was studied in anaerobic digestion (AD) at 20–55 °C for treating dairy manure. Twelve ARGs comprising five tetracycline resistance genes, two sulfonamide resistance genes, two macrolide resistance genes, three β-lactam antibi ...

Abstract:
... Additives, such as iron oxides, have been used in anaerobic digestion (AD) to promote direct interspecies electron transfer and to boost methane yield. However, the function of additives in the AD of antibiotic-contaminated organic wastes remained unclear. In this study, the effects of ferric hydroxide and (semi) conductive iron oxides, namely hematite and magnetite, on the AD of oxytetracycline ( ...

Abstract:
... The combined application of manure/slurry and synthetic fertilizer (SF) might be a solution to decrease transport and application costs involving those by-products as well as enable access to them in regions where availability is low. Moreover, their joint application can potentially reduce environmental pollution, enlarge the manure benefits to more areas, and enhance the SF efficiency. However, ...

Abstract:
... Conversion of digestate into biochar-based catalysts is an effective strategy for disposal and resource utilization. The active sites on biochar correlated with reactive species formation in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system directly. Clarifying the structure-performance relationship of digestate derived biochar in PMS system was essential for decomposition of contaminants. Herein, dairy manure diges ...
... Herein, feedstock (pinewood, rice straw, and dairy manure) and pyrolysis temperature (300, 500, and 700 °C) were selected as the influencing factors of properties of biochar (BC) to identify the contribution of biochar's matrix on Cr(VI) removal by BC-supported sulfidated zero-valent iron (S-ZVI/BC). Results showed that higher temperature was more conducible to improve the electrochemical properti ...
... Bioaugmentation is an attractive method to improve methane production (MP) in the anaerobic digestion (AD) process. In this study, to tackle the ammonia inhibition problem, a long-term (operating over 6 months) acclimatized consortia and a well-constructed consortia were selected as the bioaugmentation consortia for sequencing batch AD reactors fed with dairy manure and pig manure under mesophilic ...

Abstract:
... Agricultural communities of New Mexico regularly redistribute manure nutrients from dairies to nearby croplands to fulfill agronomic nutrient needs and protect water quality. Yet competition for water resources can result in land use change that affects these cooperative manure transfers. Focusing on three clusters of New Mexico dairy farms and their surrounding lands (three manuresheds), we calcu ...
... Minimizing slurry phosphorus (P) losses in runoff requires careful management in the context of both soil P surpluses and changing patterns in rainfall. Increasing the time interval between slurry application and the first rainstorm event is known to reduce P loss in runoff although the risk period for elevated P concentrations in runoff can extend for weeks. This study investigated the impact of ...
... The present study aims to monitor and assess the occurrence of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) in animal manure, compost, and fertilized soil, originating from different large-scale feedlots. The corresponding concentrations of 39 types of VAs in 8 large-scale feedlots of pig, dairy cow, and poultry were sampled in different seasons and analyzed using LC–MS. The results indicated that 17 types, 16 ty ...

Abstract:
... The development of sustainable application practices, which do not demand incorporation into the soil, is necessary to encourage slurry use in conservation agriculture (CA). Incorporation is the most common practice to reduce nitrogen losses from the applied slurry. However, in CA, soil disturbance must be avoided. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate strategies to reduce gaseous emissions f ...

Abstract:
... During co-digestion of dairy manure and off-farm organic waste in farm anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) systems, the process’s conversion of biodegradable organics to biogas reduces the volumetric mass (or mass-volume) of the effluent discharged compared to the mass-volume fed. In this study, we present three methods for estimating the mass-flow difference between influent and effluent due to convers ...

Abstract:
... Animal manures allow nutrients recycling in cropping systems, while contributing to the fulfillment of environmental standards. Pasture irrigation with animal manures has been fostered for Costa Rican dairy farms over the last 15 yr. A lack of information and training regarding irrigation and management of animal manures has led to the implementation of diverse methods by producers, but those have ...
