PMID: 38508009. DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120592. Abstract. Chicken manure (CM) can pose a serious threat to environmental and human health, and need to be managed properly. The compost can effectively treat CM. However, there is limited research on the heavy metals and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during compost CM.
Feb 21, 2024 · 1. The materials to be composted must be small. ½ to 1 ½ inches in diameter is the idea size. If you're used to putting large items in the compost, this method requires a little more preparation. 2. The Carbon to Nitrogen ratio must be correct. 30 parts Carbon to 1 part Nitrogen is the goal.
Nov 24, 2023 · The distribution of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) in environmental soil is greatly affected by livestock and poultry manure fertilization, the application of manure will lead to antibiotic residues and ARGs pollution, and increase the risk of environmental pollution and human health.
Alternate layers of chicken manure and carbon materials in the compost pile, ensuring a balanced decomposition process. Step 3: Moisture and Aeration. Keep the compost pile adequately moist by watering it periodically. Turning the pile with a garden fork promotes aeration and accelerates decomposition. Step 4: Temperature and Time.
The results showed that the co-composting system using 60% chicken manure and 40% pig manure significantly altered the microbial diversity and community structure. In addition, the complexity and tightness of its microbial community network structure reached the maximum, as did the strength of its cooperative and competitive microbial interactions.
Mar 7, 2024 · The Benefits of Chicken Manure. As a non-synthetic organic fertilizer, chicken manure has numerous benefits. Nutrients: It is a complete fertilizer that contains the macronutrients nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as important micronutrients such as calcium needed for healthy plant growth. Soil amendment: Chicken manure is more than
Apr 1, 2023 · In this study, contaminated chicken manure composting was conducted to reveal the bioaugmentation effect on tetracyclines residue and antibiotics resistance genes (ARGs). The bioaugmented composting removed most of the antibiotics in 7 days.
Jun 22, 2022 · One way to increase yields in agriculture using organic alternative is the introduction of manure-based composts into the soil. However, the use of such composts carries a risk of soil contamination with antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) from the gut and manure of the livestock. The contamination of the composts with heavy metals or antibiotics can increase this risk, while the
Mar 15, 2024 · Aerobic composting is the primary way to utilize animal manure. However, the frequently detected antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in manure pose high risks to both the environment and human health.
Jun 1, 2017 · However, the effects of BC on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during chicken manure composting are still unclear. This study investigated the effects on ARGs of adding different proportions of BC (0%, 5%, 10%, and 20% w/w) to chicken manure compost.
Jan 1, 2024 · In summary, our results showed that the FM treatment achieved 97% removal efficiency of ARGs and 96% reduction in the total abundance of MGEs during chicken manure composting. Firmicutes and Actinobacteriota might play an important role in the spread and harmful effects of ARGs.
Composting and utilizing compost are advantageous tools in nutrient management plans that, when managed properly, benefit crops and reduce the potential to pollute. Compost is a mixture of organic residues (manure, animal carcasses, straw, etc.) that have been piled, mixed and moistened to undergo thermophilic [high heat, 113 to 160 degrees
Jul 12, 2023 · Composting chicken manure improves soil health, thanks to its beneficial microorganisms and decomposition process. Using chicken manure as compost helps reduce pollution by preventing runoff and protecting waterways. By relying on chicken manure compost, you can reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers, promoting eco-friendly gardening
Aug 1, 2023 · ARGs transferred from pathogenic bacteria to thermophilic bacteria by HGT via MGEs. Transmission of ARGs during composting with different feedstocks (i.e., sheep manure (SM), chicken manure (CM) and mixed manure (MM, SM:CM = 3:1 ratio) was studied by metagenomic sequencing. 53 subtypes of ARGs for 22 types of antibiotics were identified as
