Introduction: Currently, the conversion of waste from industrial processes to compost through vermicompost has been considered both in terms of health, environmental pollution, and economy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of waste process of Halva Ardeh production on vermicompost quality. Materials and Methods: To determine the best combination of cow manure with Halva Arde...

Soil nutrient deficiency is a problem aftermath of reduction caused by metals and leaching due to low soil organic matter high input synthetic chemical fertilizers. The decline in the corn harvest index decrease fertility. Hence, local materials have urgently needed as Ultisol ameliorant. This study aims determine right combination chicken manure cow produce best increase plant height dry weigh...

Cow manure is an abundant residue and poses a problem regarding recycling. Intensive animal farming produces manure, which, if not properly managed, can contaminate nearby water bodies soils with nutrient excess. There are 1.9 billion cattle worldwide, calculated capacity to produce 7.6 tons per year. Feeding of these cows carried out mainly cellulosic material. Therefore, cow contains importan...

The National Phosphorus Project rainfall simulator was used to quantify overland flow and P transport from nine sites distributed throughout the watershed of a New York City Watershed Agriculture Program collaborating dairy farm. Observed concentrations of total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) were low (0.007-0.12 mg L(-1)) in flow from deciduous forest, extensively managed pasture, and hillside see...

Alfalfa hay utilization by dairy cattle has expanded in western dairy states. Alfalfa silage utilization has increased in the Midwest. Alfalfa haylage contains high levels of nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) due to protein breakdown during fermentation. Excessive levels of NPN in alfalfa silage diets require supplementation of protected protein sources to meet protein demands of high-producing cattle....
