The project In a major breeding farm from Bergamo, Italy, Rota Guido Srl has installed two reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration plants that, coupled with a biogas plant ensure local livestock operations are efficient, sanitary and environmentally responsible. ...
High concentrations (300 ng/L) of androstenedione (A4) were identified in snowmelt runoff from fields fertilized with manure from livestock feeding operations in Wisconsin. In fishes, A4 is an active androgen and substrate for biosynthesis of functional androgens (e.g., testosterone and 11‐ketotestosterone) and estrogens (e.g., estradiol‐1713). ...
