Comparing the Survival of Salmonella in Soils Amended with Pecan Shells and Poultry Manure

Journal of Food Protection
Pecan shells have antimicrobial properties but are generally viewed as a waste product that is often discarded. Poultry manure is often used as a soil amendment but has been shown to promote the survival of foodborne pathogens in the soil.

Combustion Characteristics of Swine Manure, Poultry Manure and Mixtures [PDF]

Applied Chemistry for Engineering, 2013
In this work, the combustive properties of the swine manure, poultry manure, and mixtures based on the resource recycling-energy were investigated. After the specimens were dried to a constant weight by dry oven, combustive properties were tested by the cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1). It was found that the peak effective heat of combustion (PEHC) in the

SUBSTITUTION OF FERTILISER WITH POULTRY MANURE: IS THIS ECONOMICALLY VIABLE? [PDF]

Agrekon, 2004
Rapid expansion of the KwaZulu-Natal poultry industry has resulted in poultry manure and litter production that in certain areas exceeds the potential for use in crop production. If land application exceeds crop requirements, manure production may result in environmental damage.

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 ...

Laboratory and greenhouse assessment of plant availability of organic N in animal manure [PDF]

, 2009
Laboratory data (thermal fractionation, pepsin extraction, C:No ratio) of dung and manure were mutually compared and contrasted with plant-availability of organic N (No) as found in a greenhouse experiment according to the double-pot technique. Two types

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...
