Effect of tillage and rainfall on transport of manure-applied cryptosporidium parvum oocysts through soil
Received for publication September 30, 2008. Most waterborne outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis have been attributed to agricultural sources due to the high prevalence of Cryptosporidium oocysts in animal wastes and manure spreading on farmlands. No-till, an effective conservation practice, often results in soil having higher water infiltration and percolation rates than conventional tillage. We ...

A small plant with great success - case study
The farm-based biogas plant operated by the Wienken family in Augustenfeld (near Löningen) is the first plant of its size built by bwe. Originally, the farm's operator had planned to install a straw heating element. However, since the input materials are available on the farm itself in their entirety, the decision to implement a biogas plant designed by bwe was obvious. One decisive aspect ...

Enhancing nutrient cycling by coupling cover crops with manure injection
Coupling winter small grain cover crops (CC) with liquid manure injection may increase manure nutrient capture. The objectives of this research were to quantify manure injection effects using target swine (Sus scrofa) manure N rates of 112, 224, and 336 kg N ha–1 on CC plant density, fall and spring shoot biomass, N, P, and K uptake and subsequent corn (Zea mays L.) yield. A winter rye (Secale ...

Why Invest in A Manure Separator On Your Farms?
Manure separation is a process that involves dividing raw livestock manure into its solid and liquid components. This separation is typically achieved through mechanical means, such as using specialized equipment like screw press manure separators or sloped screen separators. The process is essential in modern agricultural practices as it allows farmers to manage manure more effectively, extract ...

Nitrogen immobilization and mineralization kinetics of cattle, hog, and Turkey manure applied to soil
Nitrogen mineralization and immobilization following manure application are critical processes influencing plant N supply and offsite N losses. We conducted laboratory experiments to examine the influence of these two processes in addition to N oxide gas production on N availability for 180 d following manure addition. A Tara loam (fine-silty, mixed, superactive, frigid Aquic Hapludoll) and a ...

Transport of lincomycin to surface and ground water from manure-amended cropland
Livestock manure containing antimicrobials becomes a possible source of these compounds to surface and ground waters when applied to cropland as a nutrient source. The potential for transport of the veterinary antimicrobial lincomycin to surface waters via surface runoff and to leach to ground water was assessed by monitoring manure-amended soil, simulated rainfall runoff, snowmelt runoff, and ...

Zonejection: Conservation tillage manure nutrient delivery system
Manure application in minimum till (MT) systems is a challenge worthy of attention because residue cover is a keystone for environmental protection. To develop a system combining zone tillage and manure application into one operation (zonejection), two experiments were conducted. In Exp. 1, liquid swine manure (LSM) was applied in fall or spring for two site years (A, B). In Exp. 2, LSM was ...

Evaluation of Phosphorus source coefficients as predictors of runoff Phosphorus concentrations
Received for publication December 27, 2007. Many states have adopted a P site index (PSI) as a risk assessment tool to determine when P-based nutrient management is required for a given agricultural field. Some PSIs use a weighting factor, the phosphorus source coefficient (PSC), to account for differences in P solubility between organic P sources. Information relating to appropriate values of ...

Huxley hutterite brethren colony case study
A. Farm Description Barn Type: 80 stall free stall barn with saw dust on floor. Manure Handling: Barn houses 80 cows over 8 pits, each 7 feet deep and 12 feet wide. Manure is stored under the slatted floor for 6 months and then agitated and pumped out. B. The Problems: As the pits are pumped ammonia levels rise significantly resulting in problems for barn staff – specifically burning eyes ...

Efficient Manure Separation: Screw Press vs. Slope Screen Separator
In the realm of agricultural and livestock farming, the responsible management of manure is of paramount importance. Manure, a valuable resource rich in organic matter and nutrients, can be a double-edged sword for farmers. On one hand, it serves as a potent natural fertilizer; on the other, its mismanagement can lead to environmental issues. To address this challenge, farmers have turned to ...

Formation and emissions of ammonia and greenhouse gases from stored and composted solid animal manure
Beside other branches of industry, agriculture is an important source of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and the most important source of ammonia (NH3). In spite of several investigations concerning ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions during storage and composting of liquid and solid animal manure, the real extent of these emissions is still unknown. This is mainly because of the ...
