Forced ammonia stripping from livestock wastewater: the influence of some physico-chemical parameters of the wastewater
In highly alkaline aqueous solutions (pH >10), the main form of dissolved ammoniacal nitrogen is the unionized free ammonia. Free ammonia, being a gaseous molecule, is easily stripped out from the solution. Increasing wastewater pH is frequently used to force ammonia removal. Herein, the effect of the variation of some physico-chemical characteristics of liquid cattle wastewater on ammonia ...

Raw materials for animal feed pellet mill:
The raw materials used in an animal feed pellet mill can include corn/maize, alfalfa, wheat bran, grass, rice, beans, and oil cake, among others. In some cases, larger-sized raw materials may need to be pulverized using a hammer mill before they can be processed. Additionally, protein or other nutrients can be added to the raw powder to enhance the nutritional content of the animal feed ...

The History of Pig Farrowing Pens
Evidence for the domestication of sus scrofa domesticus - or in common parlance, the “domestic pig” - extends back over 10 thousand years ago, though the first examples of pig farrowing pens only appeared in the early 19th century. Some of the earliest examples come from the United Kingdom, where in 1807 “Mr. Pattinson’s Pig Cases” were promoted to produce healthier ...

Agricultural Manure Drying Machine for Cows
Manure drying machines are utilized in agricultural settings to remove moisture from wet manure. The drying process breaks down manure, kills bacteria and creates pathogen-free bedding. The drying process also cuts down on storing and disposing of bulk manure and the costs associated with both activities. Dried Manure Solids (DMS) can be used as bedding for the dairy industry. A lactating ...

The use of sewage sludge compost for improving reedbeds performance
In a wastewater of medium strength, about 75 % of the suspended solids and 40 % of the filterable solids are organic in nature. The parameter used for measuring the strength and the quantity of the organic substances in the wastewater is the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) (Aggelakis and Tchobanoglous, 1995; Tchobanoglous and Burton, 1991). Degradable organic matter in wastewater, whether soluble ...
