Sanitary quality of broiler litter reused [PDF]
Engenharia Agrícola, 2015 ABSTRACT Considering the importance of the substrate to bedding in the poultry industry in Brazil, and the enormous pressure on environmental management as to the correct use and management of the waste generated by the production sector, this study aimed to analyze the effect of reuses of two types of litter on sanitary qualities and productive ...

Differences in leaf and root litter decomposition in tropical montane rainforests are mediated by soil microorganisms not by decomposer microarthropods [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Plant litter decomposition is a key process in carbon and nutrient cycling. Among the factors determining litter decomposition rates, the role of soil biota in the decomposition of different plant litter types and its modification by ...

Interacting Microbe and Litter Quality Controls on Litter Decomposition: A Modeling Analysis
PLoS ONE, 2014 The decomposition of plant litter in soil is a dynamic process during which substrate chemistry and microbial controls interact. We more clearly quantify these controls with a revised version of the Guild-based Decomposition Model (GDM) in which we used a reverse Michaelis-Menten approach to simulate short-term (112 days) decomposition of roots from ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Changes in nitrogen (N) deposition and litter mixtures have been shown to influence ecosystem processes such as litter decomposition. However, the interactive effects of litter mixing and N‐deposition on decomposition process in desert regions remain ...

Supplying Hydrogen Water to Ducks Did Not Influence Ammonia Content and Duck Litter Quality [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2022 Drinking hydrogen-rich water shows a remarkable antioxidant effect in preventive and therapeutic applications. However, there is no previous report and information on ammonia (NH3) production and duck litter quality when hydrogen water was supplied to ...

Deer slow down litter decomposition by reducing litter quality in a temperate forest [PDF]
Ecology, 2019 AbstractLitter decomposition is a key process that allows the recycling of nutrients within ecosystems. In temperate forests, the role of large herbivores in litter decomposition remains a subject of debate. To address this question, we used two litterbag experiments in a quasiexperimental situation resulting from the introduction of Sitka black‐tailed

Effect of Litter Treatment on Broiler Performance and Certain Litter Quality Parameters
Poultry Science, 1984 Litter-Aid, a product consisting primarily of ferrous sulfate but also containing propionic acid and magnesium and copper sulfate was incorporated into litter at three application rates (0, .73, and 1.46 kg/m2) to determine its effects on broiler chicken performance and various aspects of litter quality.

Grazing increases litter decomposition rate but decreases nitrogen release rate in an alpine meadow [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 Litter decomposition and N release are the key processes that strongly determine the nutrient cycling at the soil–plant interface; however, how these processes are affected by grazing or grazing exclusion in the alpine grassland ecosystems on the ...
