The localization and intensification of the poultry industry over the past 50 years have incidentally created a largely ignored environmental management crisis. As a result of these changes in poultry production, concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) produce far more waste than can be managed by land disposal within the regions where it is produced. As a result, alternative waste manag...

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the addition enzymes phytase and xylanase, isolated or associated, in liquid form after feed pelletization could improve energy utilization digestibility calcium phosphorus by broiler chickens. Three experiments were performed using 120 birds each, divided into five treatments with eight replicates per group (n = 3), identified as: experiment ...

A new simple and sensitive detection tube to detect hydrogen cyanide in the air has been developed. The detection tube is based on the reaction of hydrogen cyanide with 4-nitrobenzil to form a violet colored product. The reaction takes place on a carrier made of a composite material, which was prepared by pelletization of a mixture of microcrystalline cellulose and MgO. The detection tube can d...

In this article, we present cradle-to-gate life-cycle inventory (LCI) data for wood fuel pellets manufactured in the Southeast United States. We surveyed commercial pellet manufacturers in 2010, collecting annual production data for 2009. Weighted-average inputs to, and emissions from, the pelletization process were determined. The pellet making unit process was combined with existing LCI data ...
