Risk of weed seed and seedling emergence from poultry litter

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
In areas surrounding large poultry industries, poultry litter is often an alternative nitrogen fertilizer for crop production. However, farmers who have not used poultry litter in the past have concerns regarding potential weed seed contamination.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Metagenomic and culture‐based insights into host and plasmid contexts of high‐risk ARGs in poultry farm environments

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Shotgun metagenomics and culture‐based isolate genomics revealed position‐associated high‐risk antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) signals across poultry manure piles and surrounding soils. Culture‐confirmed Enterobacteriaceae and IncHI2A‐related blaNDM‐5 plasmid backgrounds further highlight priority host‐ARG‐plasmid contexts for farm antimicrobial ...

Emission of Carbon Dioxide Influenced by Different Water Levels from Soil Incubated Organic Residues

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
We studied the influence of different organic residues and water levels on decomposition rate and carbon sequestration in soil. Organic residues (rice straw, rice root, cow dung, and poultry litter) including control were tested under moistened and ...

myo‐Inositol's role in laying hens’ active gastrointestinal microbiota: a strain comparison

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND myo‐Inositol (MI) is a cyclitol involved in cellular metabolism and phytate degradation, yet its influence on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiota of laying hens remains poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of graded dietary MI supplementation on the active GIT microbial communities of two commercial laying ...

Antimicrobial resistant gene prevalence in soils due to animal manure deposition and long-term pasture management [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
The persistence of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) genes in the soil-environment is a concern, yet practices that mitigate AMR are poorly understood, especially in grasslands.

Overview of the re‐evaluation of trace elements as nutritional feed additives in the European Union: characterization, safety, and efficacy

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The re‐evaluation of feed additives in the European Union was outlined in the Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The primary objectives were to ensure safety and verify efficacy, as well as to update authorizations and phase out unsafe additives or those in which the industry expressed no interest.

Effect of Alum and Liquid Alum on pH, EC, Moisture, Ammonium and Soluble Phosphorus Contents in Poultry Litter During Short Term: a Laboratory Experiment

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2009
Aluminum sulfate (alum, [Al2 (SO4)3. 14H2O]) additions to poultry litter can be used effectively as litter amendments, which can lead to greatly reduce ammonia emissions and phosphorus solubility in the poultry industry.

Sentipensar [Feel‐Thinking] Cultivates Collective Scientific Sensemaking and Worldbuilding Within and Beyond Ecological Despair

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Educating youth about environmental and climate justice is crucial in realizing a sustainable and flourishing future. Yet this can be challenging given the intense eco‐emotions youth experience and express while learning about these consequential realities and their implications.
