Effect of Zeolite Spreading Frequency on Litter Base to Housing Quality of Broiler

open access: yesAnimal Production: Indonesian Journal of Animal Production, 2005
The research was aimed to investigate the application of zeolite spreading frequency in related to control housing quality.  In this study, three aspects of quality were observed namely housing temperature, litter temperature and litter humidity.

Non-additive effects of water availability and litter quality on decomposition of litter mixtures [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology, 2015
Non-additive (synergistic or antagonistic) effect, a common phenomenon for the decomposition of mixed litter in nature, is usually regulated by litter quality and environmental factors. In this study, we investigated decomposition rates and nutrient (C, N, and P) dynamics in response to water availability in six litter treatments using plant material ...

Low-protein diets with balanced amino acids reduce nitrogen excretion and foot pad dermatitis without affecting the growth performance and meat quality of free-range yellow broilers

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2018
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of crude protein (CP) levels on growth performance, carcase quality, meat quality, immune indices, litter and faeces quality, as well as welfare quality, in free-range yellow broilers using balanced ...

Comparison of the Coleoptera communities in leaf litter and rotten wood in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The community within extremely decayed downed coarse woody debris, here referred to as decay class V (CWD5), has never been systematically sampled. The presumption has been that rotten wood is eventually overrun by surrounding soil and litter inhabitants.
