an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of chemical amendments and reused litter on broiler performances, immune response and skin quality. five hundred and seventy six (576) day old broiler chickens were randomly allocated to 3x2 factorial design experiment. three amendments treatment included control (no chemical addition), alunminum sulfate and zeolite; two types of litter were ne...

chemical stabilization of heavy metals is one of the soil remediation methods based on the application amendments to reduce mobility of heavy metals. a laboratory study was conducted to investigate the influence of different kinds of amendments on cadmium (cd) stabilization in a cd-spiked soil. the amendments were municipal solid waste compost (mswc), coal fly ash (cfa), rice husk biochars prep...

the purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of litter chemical amendments on litter quality, broiler performance and carcass lesions (breast blisters, foot pad lesions and hock burns). in a 2×4 factorial experiment with 576 commercial broiler chicks (arian), the effect of two types of litter materials and three amendments were investigated using a completely randomized design with ...

sewage effluent is the carrier of huge amounts of n (0.09 to 0.16%), p (0.023 to 0.029 %), and k (0.11 to 0.18%) and as well as it is rich in organic carbon (3.27%). transfer of the toxic trace metal (pb) from the contaminated site can be seized out from the food chain through application of feso4.7h2o and caso4 in a larger area. the efficacy of the toxic metal immobilization through an applica...

Poultry litter is a valuable nutrient source for crop production. Successful management to reduce ammonia and its harmful side-effects on poultry and the environment can be aided by the use of litter amendments. In this study, three acidifiers, two biological treatments, one chemical urease inhibitor and two adsorber amendments were added to poultry litter. Chemical, physical and microbiologica...

Rangelands are very diverse, and they spread from low vegetation desert areas to those with more rainfall and more cover In saline and desert areas, there are many restrictions on vegetation establishment, hence the use of amendments. The study area is located south of Nazarabad city in Alborz province, Iran. In this study, different amendments, such as mineral biochar, arbuscular mycorrhiza fu...

Sodic soils have low organic carbon content, microbial load and their activities which were the biological indicators of soil health. Soil organic carbon is the kay factor which derives the soil functions. A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different amendments and micronutrient mixture on soil biological properties. Gypsum+GM, DSW (distillery spent wash) and GLM (Glyricidi...

Revegetation efforts generally have failed to establish substantial cover on bentonite mine spoil, but certain amendments have shown promise for improving spoil as a plant growth medium. These growthpromoting improvements were at least partially the result of effects of these amendments on spoil chemistry. We undertook this study to determine the effects of selected amendments (gypsum, fertiliz...
