Shifts in manure phosphorus (P) chemical forms and pool sizes induced by water treatment residuals and industrial mineral by-products are largely undefined. We conducted a manure P fractionation study to determine mechanisms of reduction of dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) in poultry manure upon mineral by-product additions. The effects of composting on the P immobilization efficacy of the b...

Organic source of nutrient has effect on soil physico-chemical properties, growth and yield cabbage. To determine the organic nutrients physio-chemical cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata). Field experiment was conducted acidic sandy loam Horticulture farm at Agriculture Forestry University (AFU), Rampur, Chitwan, from 5th December 2020 to 26th March 2021.The laid out in Randomized Complet...

An experiment was conducted on “Influence of Organic Manure and Inorganic Fertilizer Soil Health, Growth Yield Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) var. Gomati.” during kharif season 2022-23 at the research farm Department soil science agricultural chemistry, NAINI, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The design applied RBD having three levels poultry-manure @ 0%,50 % 100% h-1 NPK 0, 50and 100%. variety cowpea Gomati ...

Natural and synthetic steroidal hormones can be carried to agricultural soil through fertilization with municipal biosolids, livestock manure, or poultry manure. The persistence and pathways of dissipation of [4-(14)C]-testosterone and of [4-(14)C]-17beta-estradiol in organic-amended soils were investigated using laboratory microcosms. Testosterone dissipation was investigated over a range of a...

Reliable estimation of nutrient concentrations is required to manage animal manure for protecting waters while sustaining crop production. This study was conducted to investigate sample variability and reliable nutrient analysis for several manure types and handling systems. Serial samples were collected from dairy, swine, and broiler poultry operations while manure was being loaded onto hauler...

Feed represents the greatest single expenditure associated with poultry production. nutritional research in poultry has therefore centred on issues related to identifying barriers to effective digestion and utilization of nutrients, and on approaches for improving feed utilization. Poultry nutritionists have increasingly combined their expertise with that of specialists in other biological scie...

Concern over nonpoint-source phosphorus (P) losses from agricultural lands to surface waters has resulted in scrutiny of factors affecting P loss potential. A rainfall simulation study was conducted to quantify the effects of alternative P sources (dairy manure, poultry manure, swine slurry, and diammonium phosphate), application methods, and initial soil P concentrations on runoff P losses fro...

Ammonia (NH3) emissions from animal manure are a significant environmental and public concern. Despite the numerous studies regarding NH3 emissions from manure, few of them have considered microbial nitrification approaches, especially fungal nitrification. In this study, a filamentous fungus was isolated from chicken manure and was used for nitrification. The species was Paecilomyces variotii ...

In this study, the effect of diet food (soybeans, egg yolk and chicken manure) on biomass weight and body composition (the amount of protein, fat, moisture and ash) Chironomid larvae were examined. For this purpose, 2.5 grams of food per Coconut considered in the period, with three replicates and Chironomid larvae during the period of 15 days in plastic pans were kept in nutrition. The results ...

Mechanistic, predictive equations for phosphorus (P) transport in runoff from manure-applied fields constitute a critical knowledge gap for developing nonpoint-source pollution models. We derived two simple equations to describe the P release from animal manure during a rainfall event-one based on first-order P desorption kinetics and one based on second-order kinetics. The manure characteristi...
