Food resource allocation patterns in lactating females in a long-term selection experiment for litter size in mice [PDF]

, 2002
Resource allocation patterns, as quantified by residual food intake (RFI), and the consequences for offspring development were investigated during lactation in 96 females of a mouse line selected for 104 generations for high litter size at birth (S-line)

RhizoSorb active ingredient reduces water‐extractable soil phosphorus following poultry litter applications

Agricultural & Environmental Letters
Manure applications can be a source of phosphorus (P) in runoff. This study evaluated whether RhizoSorb, a modified aluminum oxide soil amendment, could reduce water‐extractable P (WEP) in the 0‐ to 7.5‐cm soil depth after poultry litter applications ...

AN APPLICATION OF THE PHOSPHORUS CONSISTENT RULE FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE COST-EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF BROILER LITTER IN CROP PRODUCTION [PDF]

We calculated the profitability of using broiler litter as a source of plant nutrients using the phosphorus consistent litter application rule. The cost saving by using litter is 37% over the use of chemical fertilizer alone to meet the nutrient needs of
