Compostability of Treatment Sludge and Cattle Manure
In this study, the compostability of treatment sludge sourced from the food industry (TS) and cattle manure (CM) was investigated. For this purpose, sunflower stalks (SS) were added as a bulking agent and composting experiments were performed. Different mixtures (R1, R2, R3) were prepared in order to determine the individual and co-compostability of ...

The Use of Straw Pellets with the Addition of Crude Glycerin for the Intensification of Biogas Production during the Anaerobic Fermentation of Cow Manure [PDF]
Cow manure is a good substrate for producing biogas, since it already contains methanogens. Almost its only drawback is the low productivity of biogas output.

Soil chemical attributes under combinations of organic fertilizing and water salinity
The use of brackish water causes chemical changes in cultivated soils. It is therefore necessary to apply strategies that can minimize its negative impacts, such as the use of organic fertilizers.
