경운방법과 가축분뇨 시용이 옥수수의 생산성 및 질소의 용탈에 미치는 영향

Approximately 43 million tons of livestock manure (LM) are produced each year on Korean farms. LM can be utilized as a valuable resource and/or it can contaminate water by runoff and leaching through the soil, when LM has been thoughtlessly applied to the land and directly discharged into the water. This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of no-till system and LM application on dry matter (DM) yield of silage corn and -N concentration in leaching water of lysimeter installed in the experimental field. The treatments were replicated three times in split plot design. Main plots consisted of tillage systems, such as conventional tillage (CT) and no-tillage (NT). Sub plots consisted of the type of LM, such as chemical fertilizer (CF), composted cattle manure (CCM) and composted swine manure (CSM). The control plots were fertilized as commercial chemical fertilizer. DM yields of corn increased significantly in order to CF > CCM > CSM (p CCM > CSM. In addition, the root weight in CT was increased as comparing with that of corn in NT. However, there was no interaction effects of between type of LM and tillage system. -N concentration in leaching water of LM application was less than 10 ppm, but -N concentration in CF exceeded 10 ppm which is safety level of drinking water during summer time (rainfall season).

Applicability of near infrared spectroscopy as an alternative to acid detergent analysis for cattle and swine manure compost

Recently, acid detergent analysis has been reported to provide valid data to evaluate decomposition properties and to determine the available nitrogen (AVN) of organic materials, such as compost. However, this methodology requires complex procedures and creates considerable costs. As an alternative, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was evaluated as a simple method to determine acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL) and acid-detergent-soluble organic matter (ADSOM), in order to evaluate the decomposition properties of cattle and swine manure compost. To establish an easy and accurate method of estimating AVN in cattle and swine manure compost, the accuracies of direct estimations of AVN by NIRS in incubation experiments and indirect estimations by NIRS based on acid-detergent-soluble nitrogen (ADSN) or total nitrogen (TN) were examined. The reflectance spectra of freeze-dried and milled compost samples were determined using a scanning monochromator. Second derivative spectra and multiple regression analysis were used to develop calibration equations for each constituent. The calibration equations for ADF, ADL and ADSOM were “successful” according to commonly applied criteria. Acid-detergent-soluble nitrogen was found to be more suitable than TN for estimating AVN in cattle and swine manure compost. As the accuracies of the estimations of ADSN and TN by NIRS were comparable, the estimation of AVN based on ADSN as determined by NIRS was more accurate than that based on TN determined by NIRS. The direct prediction of AVN through NIRS was not as accurate as the estimation of AVN based on ADSN determined by NIRS. We conclude that NIRS is a practicable alternative to the time-consuming acid detergent analysis of cattle and swine compost, and that ADSN as determined by NIRS is useful for estimating AVN in the compost.

Analysis of the Structure of the Bacterial Community in the Livestock Manure-based Composting Process

: We investigated the structure of bacterial communities present in livestock manure-based composting processes and evaluated the bacterial succession during the composting processes. Compost samples were derived separately from swine manure, dairy manure and sewage sludge. The structure of the bacterial community was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) using universal eubacterial primers. The genus Bacillus and related genera were mainly detected following the thermophilic composting phase of swine and dairy manure composts, and the members of the phylum Bacteroidetes were mainly detected in the cattle manure waste-based and sewage sludge compost. We recovered and sequenced limited number of the bands; however, the PCR-DGGE analysis showed that predominant diversities during the composting processes were markedly changed. Although PCR-DGGE analysis revealed the presence of different phyla in the early stages of composting, the members of the phylum Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were observed to be one of the predominant phyla after the thermophilic phase.

House Fly (Musca domestica L.) (Diptera Muscidae) Development in Different Types of Manure

A B S T R A C T Animal production units with different management systems can be found along the Huasco Valley, Region of Atacama, Chile. These constitute sources of house flies (Musca domestica L.) and other vector fly species that cause damage to animals and nuisance problems in urban areas. In order to asses the importance of fly breeding sources, an experiment was carried out under laboratory conditions to evaluate different types of animal manure and composted swine manure. Time of larval development, larva mortality, pupa size, and weight and time of development to the adult stage were assessed. Results show that swine, poultry and calf manure produced a significantly higher number of adult flies, shorter life cycles and larger and heavier pupae. Cow, dog, goat and horse manure follow in effectiveness for fly production. Composted swine manure was totally ineffective for domestic fly development.

가축분뇨 시용이 총체 벼의 생산성, 사료가치 및 토양의 화학성에 미치는 영향

The experimental work was conducted to determine the growth characteristics and yield of whole crop rice (cv. Suwon 468 and cv. Chuchungbeo) and soil properties using various type of livestock manure application on rice paddy land for 3 years (). Compared Suwon 468 and Chuchungbeo, Suwon 468 has longer plant height and more DM yield than that of Chuchungbeo. Among livestock manure type, plant height was longer in order of liquid swine manure (LSM) > composted swine manure (CSM) > chemical fertilizer (CF) > composted cattle manure (CCM). Number of branch on Chuchungbeo had more than that of Suwon 468. Among livestock manure type, number of branch had more in order of LSM > CSM > CF > CCM. DM yield of whole crop rice (WCR) was affected by various types of livestock manure application and increased in order CSM > CCM

Effect of granular porous media on the composting of swine manure

This study investigated the feasibility of a bulking agent of granular porous media (GPM) for the composting of swine manure. Two lab-scale composting reactors were operated to evaluate the general performances and maturity parameters using GPM made of wastes from the Portland cement manufacturing processes as an alternative bulking agent. The overall volatile solid (VS) removal was 38.5% (dry basis). During the experiments, moisture content ranged between 41% and 53%, ensuring feasibility of microbial activity in composting. Cured compost showed proper maturity and low phytotoxicity, despite the slight decreases of CO2 production and VS removal at the second batch operation. Various physico-chemical parameters of the cured compost met the regulatory standards reported elsewhere. The pH, carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, ammonia nitrogen and soluble organic carbon (SOC) of the cured compost were significantly correlated to the germination index (GI) using the seeds of Chinese cabbage and lettuce, indicating the progressive biodegradation of phytotoxins as well as organic matter. Consequently, the results obtained in this study demonstrate that GPM could contribute to the environmentally friendly and economical composting of problematic swine manure as a recyclable bulking agent.

Development and Application of Real-Time PCR Assays for Quantification of erm Genes Conferring Resistance to Macrolides-Lincosamides-Streptogramin B in Livestock Manure and Manure Management Systems

Erythromycin and tylosin are commonly used in animal production, and such use is perceived to contribute to the overall antimicrobial resistance (AR) reservoirs. Quantitative measurements of this type of AR reservoir in microbial communities are required to understand AR ecology (e.g., emergence, persistence, and dissemination). We report here the development, validation, and use of six real-time PCR assays for quantifying six classes of erm genes (classes A through C, F, T, and X) that encode the major mechanism of resistance to macrolides-lincosamides-streptogramin B (MLS(B)). These real-time PCR assays were validated and used in quantifying the six erm classes in five types of samples, including those from bovine manure, swine manure, compost of swine manure, swine waste lagoons, and an Ekokan upflow biofilter system treating hog house effluents. The bovine manure samples were found to contain much smaller reservoirs of each of the six erm classes than the swine manure samples. Compared to the swine manure samples, the composted swine manure samples had substantially reduced erm gene abundances (by up to 7.3 logs), whereas the lagoon or the biofilter samples had similar erm gene abundances. These preliminary results suggest that the methods of manure storage and treatment probably have a substantial impact on the persistence and decline of MLS(B) resistance originating from food animals, thus likely affecting the dissemination of such resistance genes into the environment. The abundances of these erm genes appeared to be positively correlated with those of the tet genes determined previously among these samples. These real-time PCR assays provide a rapid, quantitative, and cultivation-independent measurement of six major classes of erm genes, which should be useful for ecological studies of AR.

Swine manure composting by means of experimental turning equipment

The purpose of research was to test the effectiveness of a prototype of a turning machine and to evaluate the feasability of a farm-scale composting process of the solid fraction of swine manure. A qualitative evaluation of the process and final product was made by monitoring the following parameters: process temperature, oxygen concentration inside the biomass, gaseous emissions (CH 4, CO 2, NH 3, N 2O), respiration index, humification index, total and volatile solids, carbon and nitrogen, pH and microbial load. The prototype proved to be very effective from a technical-operational point of view. The composting process exhibited a typical time-history, characterised by a thermophilic phase followed by a curing phase [Chiumenti, A., Chiumenti, R., Diaz, L.F., Savage, G.M., Eggerth, L.L., Goldstein, N., 2005. Modern Composting Technologies. BioCycle-JG Press, Emmaus, PA, USA]. Gas emissions from compost the windrow were more intense during the active phase of the process and showed a decreasing trend from the thermophilic to the curing phase. The final compost was characterized by good qualitative characteristics, a significant level of humification [Rossi, L., Piccinini, S., 1999. La qualità agronomica dei compost derivanti da liquami suinicoli. (Agronomic quality of swine manure compost). L’informatore Agrario 38, 29–31] and no odor emissions. This method of managing manure represents an effective, low cost approach that could be an interesting opportunity for swine farms.

Residual Effects of Composted and Fresh Solid Swine (Sus scrofa L.) Manure on Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] Growth and Yield

Applying livestock manure to soil can enhance soil fertility and crop growth; however, little information is available on the residual effects of manure on crop growth. The objective of this study was to investigate the residual effect of fresh or composted hoop house swine manure on the growth and yield of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. During 2000 and 2001 near Boone, IA, research plots received applications of composted or fresh solid swine manure from hoop structures or one of four levels of urea (0, 60, 120, and 180 kg N ha−1) before planting maize (Zea mays L.). During the growing season following maize harvest, we evaluated the responses of soybean to the eight treatments applied the previous year. During both years, soybean plants from manure‐amended plots were significantly taller and had a thicker stem diameter than plants from the other plots. The manure‐treated plots produced 39% greater soybean leaf area than the control in 2001 and 11% greater leaf area than the urea‐amended plots in 2002. There was a 21 to 34% greater K concentration in soybean plants grown in the manure‐amended sites than in the other plots. Soybean grain yield was 0.2 to 0.5 Mg ha−1 greater in the manure‐treated plots than the control or urea‐fertilized plots. Responses to manure were unaffected by the time of application (fall or spring) or the form of manure (composted or fresh). We have shown that fresh and composted swine manure application before growing maize resulted in detectable, positive residual effects on soybean growth and yield.

Determination of Compost Respiration Rates Using Pressure Sensors

Compost stability is one of the most important criteria used to evaluate compost quality. Several of the most popular methods to quantify stability are based on measurements of aerobic respiration of oxygen to carbon dioxide. This study compared two closed-vessel respiration techniques. In both methods, the evolved CO2 was absorbed by sodium hydroxide (NaOH), leading to a pressure drop in the container. The conventional technique measures absorbed CO2 by titrating the NaOH trap, limiting measurement frequency by the need to manually remove and replace the trap. The pressure sensor method (PSM) uses a datalogger to record pressure differences in the vessel, allowing several observations each hour. Samples of bedded swine manure compost (n=125) were analyzed using both the PSM and the titration method (TM) during 48 h incubation at 30°C. Each compost sample was also analyzed for total solids, volatile solids (VS), pH and electrical conductivity. Respiration results obtained using the PSM were compared with those obtained using the TM, with each method run on split compost samples under the same environmental conditions. Respiration rates measured by PSM and TM were highly correlated (R2 = 0.92). Respiration rates ranged from 3.64 to 10.77 mg CO2-C gVS−1 d−1, varying with feedstock and the extent of prior composting. Decreases in volatile solids and/or increases in composting time resulted in decreases in the respiration rate, but the effect of pH and electrical conductivity was not clear. For the PSM, detailed time series data also allowed semi continuous observation of important changes in the respiration rate throughout the course of incubation. PSM is a sensitive and reliable method to quantify compost respiration and stability.

Effect of low initial C/N ratio on aerobic composting of swine manure with rice straw

Two pilot composting experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of low initial C/N ratio on the composting of swine manure with rice straw by measuring physical and chemical parameters. The results showed that the thermophilic duration of bin 1 and bin 2 was long enough to satisfy the sanitary standard, and swine manure could reach maturity. Bin 1 containing larger amount of swine manure and less amount of rice straw showed a higher nitrogen loss (8%), shorter thermophilic phase, and longer maturity time (about 2 weeks) than bin 2. However, economical analysis showed a lower initial C/N ratio (20) could reduce 172 kg rice straw per ton fresh swine manure than a higher C/N ratio (25), and more swine manure could also be treated. Therefore, a low initial C/N ratio (20) could be suggested in the composting of swine manure with rice straw.

Effects of Aeration, Molasses, Kelp, Compost Type, And Carrot Juice on the Growth of Escherichia Coli in Compost Teas

Growth of a nonpathogenic E. coli strain (K12- MG1655, ATCC 700926) in aerated and nonaerated compost teas containing molasses, kelp and carrot juice was examined. Teas were prepared using four different compost types that had undetectable levels of indigenous E. coli. Three of the composts were produced by turn pile windrow composting method using dairy, swine and horse manure as feedstock, while the fourth, a vermicompost, was produced by feeding separated dairy solids to worms Eisenia feotida. Molasses and kelp enhanced the growth of E. coli in inoculated teas and the E. coli density was positively correlated with nutrient concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 8.0 g/L. Irrespective of the presence of molasses and kelp, E. coli was not detected in noninoculated teas. Even though E. coli is a facultative anaerobe, its growth was significantly higher in nonaerated teas than in aerated teas. Without aeration, dissolved oxygen in teas declined rapidly and fell below 0.1 mg/L within 20 h, whereas continuous aeration at 0.8 L/min maintained an aerobic condition (> 5 mg/L dissolved oxygen) in teas during the 48 h brewing period. The pH values of nonaerated teas were significantly lower than those of aerated teas and were always slightly acidic. E. coli growth in different compost types was significantly different. The density of E. coli was lowest in teas made with vermicompost and highest in teas made with swine manure compost. E. coli proliferations in both aerated and nonaerated swine manure compost teas were inhibited by carrot juice. Carrot juice lowered dissolved oxygen in aerated teas. The total bacterial densities in noninoculated compost teas were not reduced by carrot juice.

EFFECT OF CARBON TO NITROGEN RATIO ON THE COMPOSTING OF CASSAVA PULP WITH SWINE MANURE

This research investigated the composting process of cassava pulp and swine manure at various initial C/N ratios of 20/1, 30/1, and 40/1 and the effect of microbial activator, p.d.1, on composting process. Compost with an initial C/N ratio of 30/1 seeded with p.d.1 showed the highest maximum temperature (63.5°C), the lowest number of faecal coliform (2.87 Log10 MPN g-1), and the shortest time (around day 42) to reach maturity, suggesting a suitable initial C/N ratio.

Composting of high moisture content swine manure with corncob in a pilot-scale aerated static bin system

Pilot composting experiments of swine manure with corncob were conducted to evaluate the performance of the aerated static bin composting system. Effects of temperature control (60 and 70 °C) and moisture content (70% and 80%) were monitored on the composting by measuring physical and chemical indexes. The results showed that (1) the composting system could destroy pathogens, converted nitrogen from unstable ammonia to stable organic forms, and reduced the volume of waste; (2) significant difference of NH 4 + - N ( P 12 = 0.074), and ( NO 3 - + NO 2 - ) - N ( P 12 = 0.085) was found between the temperature control treatments; (3) anaerobic reaction in the treatment with 80% moisture content resulted in significant difference of pH ( P 23 = 0.006), total organic matter ( P 23 = 0.003), and germination index ( P 23 = 0.040) between 70% and 80%. Therefore, the optimum initial moisture content was less than 80% with the composting of swine manure and corncob by using the composting system.

Composted Swine Manure Effects on Germination and Early Growth of Crop and Weed Species Under Greenhouse Conditions1

Composted manure produced in deep-bedded hoop structures constitutes a source of nutrients and organic materials that can influence crop and weed emergence, growth, competitive interactions, and soil physical properties. The impact of composted swine manure on corn, soybean, winter wheat, velvetleaf, giant foxtail, and common waterhemp emergence and early growth were compared at compost rates of 0, 8, 16, or 24 Mg C/ha. Compost amendment had no effect on crop emergence but did reduce weed emergence. Inhibition of seedling emergence ranged between 15 and 57% for giant foxtail, 0 and 23% for velvetleaf, and 16 and 76% for common waterhemp. Soil amendment enhanced weed growth but not crop growth. A response surface regression analysis indicated that, while large-seeded crops have constant relative growth rates, small-seeded weed species increase their relative growth rates with compost amendment (P < 0.0001, r2 = 0.5252).Nomenclature: Common waterhemp, Amaranthus rudis Sauer #3 AMATA; corn, Zea mays L. ‘Pioneer 3563’; giant foxtail, Setaria faberi SETFA Herm.; soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr. ‘Pioneer 92B84’; velvetleaf, Abutilon theophrasti ABUTH Medicus; winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L. ‘Arapahoe’.Additional index words: Compost amendment, relative growth rate, germination inhibition, organic amendment, seedling emergence, soil quality.Abbreviations: EI%, percentage emergence inhibition; MTE, mean time of emergence; RGR, relative growth rate; VOA, volatile organic acids.

Effects of composted swine manure on weed seedbank

Deep-bedded hoop structures where pigs are raised on a thick layer of crop residues represent a promising swine production system that allows recycling of farm waste products. A field study was conducted to evaluate the impact of swine compost on weed seedbank abundance, seed persistence, and seedling emergence. Experiments were conducted from 1998 to 2001 in a chisel plow corn–soybean–winter wheat rotation. In the fall of 1998, and before compost application, weed seedbank abundance, species composition, and viability were characterized. Annual weed seed inputs attributed to compost were assessed between 1998 and 2000 and seedbanks were characterized again in the fall of 2001. Giant foxtail, common lambsquarters, common waterhemp, and Pennsylvania smartweed comprised 99.5 and 80.7% of seeds detected in the seedbank and compost, respectively. Between 1 � 1 and 169 � 48 weed seeds m � 2 of soil surface

Changes in the N Recovery Process from 15N-Labeled Swine Manure Compost and Rice Bran in Direct-Seeded Rice by Simultaneous Application of Cattle Manure Compost

The N recovery from 15N-labeled swine manure compost and rice bran with or without simultaneous application of unlabeled cattle manure compost was examined in a paddy field with direct-seeded rice during a 1-year period (1 crop season). In all the 15N-labeled materials including (15NH4)2SO4, the processes of N recovery from the 15N materials by rice plants were different between the plots with and without application of cattle manure compost. At the tillering stage, the N recovery rates from the 15N materials in the plots with application of cattle manure compost were significantly lower than those in the plots without application of cattle manure compost. These recovery rates, however, became close and no significant differences were observed at the maturity stage. Thus, simultaneous application of cattle manure compost could impede the N recovery from swine manure compost, rice bran as well as (NH4)2SO4.

경사도와 분뇨의 처리 형태가 옥수수 생산성과 양분의 유실에 미치는 영향

본 연구는 가축분뇨의 양분 유실량을 조사하기 위하여 옥수수 재배시 비료의 종류(화학비료, 돈분퇴비 및 우분액비)와 경사도(<TEX>$0\%\;9\%\;18\%$</TEX>)를 달리 했을 때 옥수수의 생산성과 유실수중의 N과 P의 함량을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 옥수수의 건물수량은 경사도와 비례하여 감소하였고, 비료의 종류에 따라서는 우분액비, 화학비료, 돈분퇴비의 순으로 높았으며, N 함량은 화학비료, 우분액비, 돈분퇴비의 순으로 증가되었지만, 경사도에 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 옥수수에 의한 N 생산량은 경사도의 증가와 비례하여 감소하였고 우분액비가 돈분퇴비 시용시보다 2배 이상 많았다. 또한, 가축분뇨의 종류와 경사도별 유실수중의 년중 평균 무기태 N 함량은 서로간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았고, <TEX>$NO_3$</TEX> -N 함량의 변화는 경사도와 비례하여 높게 나타났으며, <TEX>$NO_3$</TEX>-N의 함량은 결코 8ppm <TEX>$NH_4$</TEX>-N과 <TEX>$PO_4$</TEX>-P의 함량은 1 ppm을 초과하지 않았다. This study carried out to investigate the effects of the types of animal manure and the dogies of the slope on productivity of com and the runoff of nitrogen and phosphorus in corn cultivation soil. Main plots were consisted of the degrees of slope, such as <TEX>$0\%\;9\%$</TEX> and <TEX>$18\%$</TEX> and the subplots on consisted of the types of animal manure, such as chemical fertilizer (CF), compost of swine manure fermented with sawdust (CSMFS), and cattle slurry (CS). Erosion was constructed with 0.33 m width, 3 m length and 0.4 m height. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. Dry matter(DM) yield of corn decreased by an enhancement of the degrees of slope DM yield reveals that there is an increase in order CS > CF > CSMFS. 2. Nitrogen contents of the whole corn reveals that there is an increase in order CF>CS>CSMFS. However, nitrogen content was not affected by the degrees of slope. 3. Nitrogen yields (NY) of com decreased by an enhancement of the degrees of slope. NY of CS increased more than 2.0 fold as compared CSMFS. 4. Mineral nitrogen content in the runoff during the experiment was hardly influenced by both the degrees of slope and the types of animal manure. 5. <TEX>$NO_3$</TEX> - N in the runoff during the experiment increased by an enhancement of the degrees of slope. 6. In the degrees of slope used in this experiment, <TEX>$NH_4$</TEX>-N and <TEX>$PO_4$</TEX>-P content in runoff was lower than 8 ug / ul and 1 ug/ul, respectively.
