In no-tillage system the application of animal wastes is made on the soil surface, without incorporation. As such, a common practice is the application of the wastes on oat residues which vary in their C/N ratio, depending ...

Farm slurry management from storage and/or treatment is the main source of odors from swine production, which are determined by factors such as operational variations (organic loading), cleaning of facilities and animal ...

Background: Pig slurry can negatively impact on the environmental, animal, and human health. Knowing the relationship between the organic and inorganic loads, pathogens, and toxicity allows identifying the main parameters ...

The increase in the availability of nutrients to soil microorganisms, especially carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), through crop residues and animal slurries can increase dioxide carbon (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions ...

The use of animal-origin residues as a nutrient source without prior and proper investigations on their positive and negative impacts can affect the quality of agricultural soils and the environment into which they are ...

The application of pig slurry in agricultural soils can be an efficient form of nutrients cilcle and one of the best alternative for discard and minimizing his pollutant potential. However, the differences between his ...
