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.

Effect of chemically amended litter on litter quality and broiler performance in winter [PDF]

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2016
ABSTRACTThe experiment was conducted to study the efficacy of different types of litter amendments on litter quality and broiler performance during winter (December–January). A total number of 180, day-old (Vencobb) broiler chicks were randomly assigned to three equal groups. One bearing control group and other two comprise litter amendments with alum (

Mixed-litter effects of fresh leaf semi-decomposed litter and fine root on soil enzyme activity and microbial community in an evergreen broadleaf karst forest in southwest China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Litter decomposition is the main process that affects nutrient cycling and carbon budgets in mixed forests. However, knowledge of the response of the soil microbial processes to the mixed-litter decomposition of fresh leaf, semi-decomposed leaf and fine ...

Variation in mass-loss rate of foliar litter in relation to climate and litter quality in Eurasian forests: differences among functional groups of litter

Silva Fennica, 2009
With a data set of litter decomposition collected by means of literature survey, our objectives are 1) to determine the differences in the variation in the first-year mass loss (%) of leaf litter with regard to climate and litter quality among ...

Nitrogen enrichment impacts on boreal litter decomposition are driven by changes in soil microbiota rather than litter quality

Scientific Reports, 2017
In nitrogen (N) limited boreal forests, N enrichment can impact litter decomposition by affecting litter quality and by changing the soil environment where litter decomposes.

Effects of common litter types and their physicochemical properties on the welfare of broilers [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2022
Background and Aim: In broiler production, the poor quality litter not only may lead to a deterioration of the welfare status but also negatively affect carcass quality, overall health and growth performance, which may result in economic losses.

The Influence of Different-Quality Litter Inputs on Soil Mineralization and Priming Effect in Subtropical Areas

Agronomy
The size and stability of the soil carbon pool depend on the balance between plant litter input and soil organic carbon mineralization. As an important source of soil organic carbon, litter input plays a key role in the decomposition of soil organic ...

Pedogenic Threshold in Acidity Explains Context-Dependent Tree Species Effects on Soil Carbon

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Despite the general agreement that maximizing carbon storage and its persistence in forest soils are top priorities in the context of climate change mitigation, our knowledge on how to steer soil organic carbon (SOC) through forest management remains ...
