Pig houses provide a highly aggressive environment to concrete structures. The chemical aggressiveness generated by pig manure may cause wear, loss in strength and premature damage to floors, leading to animal hoof diseases. ...

The use of pig manure, especially of the deep-bedding manure, is not so often in the winter cover crops, preceding the summer commercial plantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the carbon and nitrogen dynamics ...

Guinea pig is one of the most common livestock in rural communities of the Andes. The aim of this research was to study the anaerobic digestion of guinea pig manure in low-cost unheated tubular digesters at high altitude. ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the anaerobic co-digestion of pig manure associated with increasing doses of crude glycerine, adopting different periods of hydraulic retention time (HRT). A completely ...

The treatment of pig manure can be performed by anaerobic digestion to diminish the organic matter content and produce biogas, and the resulting digestate has to be subsequently treated for the removal of nitrogenous ...

The managedment of the pig manure, in the slurry or solid form (deep bedding), and how it is applied to the soil, in the surface or incorporated, must affect the dynamics of the C and the N in the soil. The objectives of ...
