SWINE MANURE MANAGEMENT
1. Abstractions and runoff from fescue plots receiving poultry
litter and swine manure.

Abstract: This study was conducted to assess the effects of
animal manure application rate (218 vs. 435 kg nitrogen/ha),
rainfall intensity (50 vs. 100 mm/h), and interactions on initial
abstraction, runoff, total abstraction, and curve number for a
simulated storm occurring one day after application to plots
covered with "tall" fescue. Manure application rate had no
significant effects on the hydrologic parameters. The data were
then averaged across manure application rates and incorporated
with control plot data to determine the effects of manure
treatment (control, poultry litter, and swine manure), rainfall
intensity, and interaction on the four hydrologic parameters. No
differences in mean hydrologic parameter values between the
control and litter-treated plots were detected initial and total
abstractions for the swine manure-treated plots were only
approximately 50% of those observed from the control and poultry
litter-treated plots. Runoff from the swine manure-treated plots
was three times that observed for the control and poultry
litter-treated plots at the 50 mm/h rainfall intensity. Curve
number for the plots receiving swine manure was 15% greater than
that for the control and poultry litter-treated plots. The
short-term differences in hydrologic characteristics of the
swine manure-treated plots may be attributed to the addition of
water via the liquid manure and to soil surface sealing by fine
manure particles. Additional work was performed to determine
whether the application of the manures affected the hydrologic
parameters for longer (4 to 14 days) drying intervals between
application and first simulated storm. The results indicated that
when the manures were applied at 218 kg nitrogen/ha, hydrologic
parameters for the manure-treated plots were no different from
those for untreated plots for drying intervals of four days or
greater.

Abstract: Measurements of N loss from manures may reflect
differences in the types of manures and methodologies used.
This study's objective was to test the suitability of 0.32 M
H3BO3 and 0.9 M H2SO4 for trapping NH3 volatilized from liquid
hog manure (LHM) under various experimental conditions.
Samples of LHM were incubated for 15 d in containers with
aeration outlets positioned above, at the middle, or at the
bottom of the LHM. Lowering the position of the aeration outlet
increased both the pH of the LHM and the amount of NH3
volatilized. More NH3 was trapped in H2SO4 than H3BO3, and the
difference in trapping efficiency of the two acids increased with
their NH3 concentrations. Neither the amount of NH3 trapped
nor the exponential relationship between the NH4+
concentrations of two H3BO3 traps in series was influenced by
changing the bubble path length through the acid. Regression
analysis indicated that > 95% trapping efficiency was obtained
only when the NH3 concentration of H3BO3 was below 0.42 mg N
mL-1, much lower than the 0.9 mg N mL-1 reported to be the
limit for using H3BO3 in the Kjeldahl method. Even when using two
traps in series, H3BO3 appeared to trap less NH3 than H2SO4.
Amending LHM with sucrose lowered the pH of H3BO3 used to trap
volatilized NH3, thereby interfering with NH3 determination and
rendering H3BO3 unsuitable for determining NH3 volatilization.
Investigators who use H3BO3 to measure NH3, volatilization in
other systems must ensure that similar interferences do not
occur and that NH3.

Abstract: The results from a three-year study involving three
types of synthetic media for process intensification of anaerobic
digestion of swine waste are reported. The three media types
were a polyurethane foam, a woven nylon mesh and a polypropylene
felt. The physical durability of the different media for the
three six-month runs and the ability of each media type to retain
bacterial growth within the reactors are reported. Evaluation of
the three media types showed that the polyurethane foam material
was effective in retaining bacterial culture, but was subject to
physical degradation in a mixed reactor environment, and
approximately 98% of the original media was lost during the
study. The woven nylon mesh was extremely durable but its
bio-retentive characteristics were the lowest of the three types.
The polypropylene felt proved to be the best media material,
showing good physical durability (i.e., no breakdown or loss) and
excellent bio-retentive properties.

Abstract: The chemical composition of Spirulina maxima and
Phormidium sp. biomasses grown on pretreated and diluted swine
wastewater was determined Analyses were carried out on
lyophilized samples and compared with data from mineral media
(controls). Analyses of Phormidium grown on aeration-stabilized
wastewater (ASSW) were: protein (Nx 625) 62%, lipids 11%,
carbohydrates (calculated by difference) 16%. For Spirulina in
the same effluent, data were: protein 36%, lipids 6% and
carbohydrates 44%. No crude fiber was found in any of the
samples. The fatty acid profiles of both biomasses showed
important differences when compared to controls. The biomasses
contained all the essential amino acids. The Spirulina biomass
had a significantly higher content of pyridoxine, riboflavin and
pantothenic and nicotinic acids than Phormidium when grown on
ASSW, but in general the vitamin content of both biomasses was
practically the same as their respective controls. The results
suggest that Phormidium and Spirulina biomasses could be used as
dietary supplements in animal feed, but further studies are
needed to determine the nutritional value of the product.

Abstract: Food processing industries can cause serious
environmental problems. In particular, piggeries and milk/cheese
factories need improved treatment of their wastewater,
especially if land-spreading of wastes is not possible, limited
or forbidden. This paper reports on a study of a treatment plant
whose originality lies in the combination of two treatment
stages, the first anaerobic, the second aerobic. The technical
problems encountered during the installation of the digester and
the optimization of the working of the whole treatment plant
during 2 years are analysed and discussed. Besides a daily
monitoring of the anaerobic stage, complete measurements were
carried out on the treatment process in order to control the
steady state performance of the plant. The biogas produced is
used in a cheese factory and allows propane consumption to be
reduced by 26%. The anaerobic digestion of the slurry, followed
by a settling process, leads to changes in the nature of the
effluent entering the aerobic stage. In particular, the C/N
ratio would be unfavourable for the denitrification process,
without the cheese factory washing-water, which brings the
necessary organic carbon. The reduction in organic load achieved
by the digester (94% reduction of BOD and 74% of soluble COD)
allows sufficient concentrations to maintain a good aerobic
oxidation and a good nitrification process in the oxidation
ditch. Overall the whole treatment process achieves 98% COD
reduction, more than 99% BOD reduction and 93% N reduction.

Abstract: Application of fertilizer can degrade quality of
runoff, particularly during the first post-application,
runoff-producing storm. This experiment assessed and compared
runoff quality impacts of organic and inorganic fertilizer
application for a single simulated storm occurring seven days
following application. The organic fertilizers used were poultry
(Gallus gallus domesticus) litter, poultry manure, and swine (Sus
scrofa domesticus) manure. All fertilizers were applied at an
application rate of 217.6 kg N/ha. Simulated rainfall was applied
at 50 mm/h for an average duration of 0.8 h. Runoff samples were
collected, composited, and analyzed for nitrate N (NO3-N),
ammonia N (NH3-N), total Kjeldahl N (TKN), ortho-P (PO4-P),
total P (TP), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended
solids (TSS), fecal coliforms (FC), and fecal streptococci (FS).
Application of the fertilizers did not alter the hydrologic
characteristics of the receiving plots relative to the control
plots. Concentrations of fertilizer constituents were almost
always greater from treated than from control plots and were
usually much greater. Flow-weighted mean concentrations of
NH3-N, PO4-P, and TP were highest for the inorganic fertilizer
treatment (42.0, 26.6, and 27.9 mg/L respectively). Runoff COD
and TSS concentrations were greatest for the poultry litter
treatment. Concentrations of FC and FS were greater for
fertilized than for control plots with no differences among
fertilized plots, but FC concentrations for all treatments were
in excess of Arkansas' primary and secondary contact standards.
Mass losses of fertilizer constituents were low (< 3 kg/ha) and
were small proportions (< 3.

Abstract: The effects of various bulking agents were examined on
the efficiency of composting the fibrous solids obtained from
swine manure after a liquid/solids separation process. The
effects on the quality of the resulting composts were also
examined. The separated solids were either composted without
bulking agents, or mixed with different portions of peat moss
and/or sawdust. Aeration rates were also varied in different
experimental sets. A self-heating mode of operation was adopted.
The results indicated that the fibrous solids from a
liquid/solids separation process could be composted in small
reactors with or without the addition of bulking agents. The
composting masses reached thermophilic temperatures (45-70
degrees C) and met regulatory requirements with or without
aeration. Aeration rates of 0.04 to 0.08 1/min per kg volatile
matter and an intermittent mode of aeration are recommended for
the composting of separated swine manure. Based on measured
compost characteristics and composition, the finished composts
made from a manure/peat moss mixture had the best quality in
terms of moisture content, nitrogen content, carbon-to-nitrogen
ratio and colour of the product.

Abstract: Effective aerobic treatment of piggery slurry was
achieved in a continuous farm scale process sited at a small
piggery (2000 pigs). The plant design and the operating
conditions were based on data obtained from pilot-scale studies
with the aim of preventing or reducing odours from pig slurry at
a minimum cost. Raw slurry was separated before passing into the
main treatment vessel. Aeration was achieved by recirculating of
slurry (achieving jet mixing of the tank contents) through a
venturi where air was entrained. Aeration was controlled to
maintain redox potential between 100 and 200 mV E(h). Slurry was
added and withdrawn at hourly intervals, to provide nominal
residence times of 1, 2 and 4 days. The performance of the
aerobic treatment process in terms of COD reduction could be
predicted using data from laboratory and pilot-scale
experiments. Some allowance could be made for minor feed
fluctuations but a more comprehensive model will be necessary for
predictions where larger variations occur in operating
conditions. Assessments were made of odour quality using dynamic
dilution olfactometers for odour strength, and volatile fatty
acids (VFA) concentration as an indicator of odour offensiveness.
Results indicate that pilot- scale experiments may overestimate
by 10-20% what can be achieved with the farm-scale plant.
Nitrogen losses were greatest in the 4-day residence time trial
with 56% lost in the form of N2 gas following a
nitrification/denitrification process. Conversely, in the short
residence time trials, virtually all of the nitrogen was
conserved.

Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the persistence
of Giardia lamblia cysts in mixed septic tank effluent and swine
manure slurry and to correlate fluorescein diacetate-propidium
iodide staining of G. lamblia cysts with their morphology under
low-voltage scanning electron microscopy. Under field
conditions, G. lamblia cysts were degraded more rapidly in the
mixed waste than in the control Dulbecco's phosphate- buffered
saline (PBS). For total and viable cysts, the mixed waste had D
values (time for a 90% reduction in number of cysts) of 18.3 and
15.5 days, and the Dulbecco's PBS control had D values of 41.6
and 26.8 days. The rates of cyst degradation in septic tank
effluent and in Dulbecco's PBS were similar. Increasing the
proportion of swine manure slurry in the mixed waste favored
degradation of the parasite. These results indicate that the
mixed waste treatment was the predominant factor affecting the
cyst persistence and that it was swine manure slurry that played
the role of degrading the parasite. Visualization of viable and
nonviable Giardia cysts with low-voltage scanning electron
microscopy revealed an excellent correlation between the
viability of the cysts determined by fluorescein
diacetate-propidium iodide staining and their electron
microscopic morphology.

Abstract: The efficacy of the antigen-capture PCR (AC-PCR) method
for the detection of hepatitis A virus (HAV) in environmental
samples was demonstrated. HAV was captured from a seeded liquid
waste or a shellfish sample with homologous antibody and then
heat denatured and subjected to reverse transcription and the
PCR, all in the same tube. Subsequently, the AC-PCR products were
analyzed by oligonucleotide probe hybridization in solution,
agarose gel electrophoresis, and autoradiography. The AC-PCR
detected as little as 0.053 PFU of cell culture- adapted HAV
strain HM175/18f. The results of cDNA-RNA hybridization indicated
that the particle/ PFU ratio of this virus strain is
approximately 79:1. Therefore, the detection limit of the AC-PCR
was estimated to be four virus particles. No amplified products
were observed when poliovirus 1, coxsackievirus A9,
coxsackievirus B3, echovirus 6, reovirus 1, adenovirus type 40,
human rotavirus type 1, and bovine enterovirus type 2 were
tested, confirming the specificity of the assay. There were no
differences between the nucleotide sequences of AC-PCR products
of HAV strain HM175/18f and the sequences of wild-type HAV strain
HM175 derived from molecularly cloned cDNA. Of 121 waste and
shellfish samples tested by both plaque assays (PA) in cell
cultures and the AC-PCR, 81 (67%) were positive and 31 (26%) were
negative as determined by both methods, whereas 9 (7%) were
positive as determined by the AC-PCR and negative as determined
by the PA, and none were positive as determined by the PA and
negative as determined by the AC-PCR.

Abstract: Application of swine (Sus scrofa domesticus) manure can
lead to elevated runoff concentrations of organic matter and
nutrients. This experiment was conducted to assess the
influences of swine manure treatment (0 and 220 kg/ha nitrogen
applied) and drying interval (4, 7, and 14 days) between manure
application and first runoff event on quality of runoff from
fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) plots. Runoff was generated
from simulated rainfall (50 mm/h) and sampled at 0.08 h intervals
during runoff. Flow-weighted composite runoff samples from each
treatment and replication were analyzed for nitrate nitrogen
(NO3(-)N), ammonia nitrogen (NH3(-)N), total Kjeldahl nitrogen
(TKN), total phosphorus (TP), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and
total suspended solids (TSS). One set per treatment of the
noncomposited runoff samples was also analyzed. Runoff
concentrations of all manure constituents investigated were
higher for the manure-treated plots than for the untreated
plots. Runoff NO3(-)N increased with drying interval due to
nitrification, but concentrations of other manure constituents
were unaffected by drying interval. Amounts of constituents lost
from the plots in runoff were higher for the manure-treated plots
than for the untreated plots, but all (including NO3(-)N) losses
were found independent of drying interval. Analyses of the
noncomposited runoff samples revealed high variability in the
response of runoff quality to time after the beginning of runoff
for all parameters investigated. Data from the non-composited
samples did not lend itself to generalized descriptions of
changes with respect to time of runoff concentrations of manure
constituents.

Abstract: Addition of piggery manure to soils over 5 yr (manured
soils) increased the amount of Cu extracted by EDTA and
diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) compared to selected
reference soils. DTPA-extractable Cu ranged from about 3 to 10 p
g Cu g-1 soil in the manured soils and from about 1 to 2
micrograms Cu g soil in the reference soils. Although the soil Cu
concentrations in the manured soils were many times smaller than
currently permitted, the increase in DTPA- or EDTA-extractable Cu
was correlated with a 10- to a 1000- fold increase in the number
of aerobic Cu-resistant bacteria. Although the Cu was mainly
concentrated in the plough layer (15 cm) of the manured soils,
Cu-resistant bacteria were also detected down to 110 cm soil
depth. In contrast, no such differences were found between the
total number of colony forming units, total microbial biomass or
the degree of Cu-resistance of fungi and anaerobic bacteria
between manured and reference soils. It is suggested that the
degree of Cu-resistance of the aerobic soil bacteria may provide
a sensitive measure of Cu bioavailability in soil. In general,
bacteria were more sensitive to Cu than fungi. All of the 42
Cu-resistant bacterial strains investigated were oxidase-positive
and 50% of the strains were pigmented. In contrast, only 20% of
the 37 Cu-sensitive bacterial strains investigated were
oxidase-positive and none were pigmented. Cu-resistant bacteria
exhibited more resistance to several antibiotics and heavy metals
than Cu-sensitive bacteria.

Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), ortho-phosphorus (PO4-P), total
phosphorus (TP), and total suspended solids (TSS) was reduced
significantly (p < 0.05) by fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)
VFS. The 3 and 21 m VFS removed 65 and 87% of incoming TKN, 71
and 99% of incoming NH3-N, 65 and 94% of incoming PO4-P, and 67
and 92% of the incoming TP, respectively. Effectiveness of VFS,
however, did not increase significantly beyond 3 m for TSS and
chemical oxygen demand and averaged 61 and 50%, respectively.
Mass transport of TKN, NH3-N, PO4-P, and TP was minimized at the
9 m VFS length. The VFS did not significantly reduce nitrate
nitrogen and fecal coliform from the incoming runoff.

Abstract: Quantities of nitrous oxide, N2O, an important
greenhouse gas, were found in the effluent gases from controlled
continuous aerobic treatment of pig slurry. Where
nitrifying-denitrifying conditions were encouraged (4-day
treatment time and aeration to a redox potential of -50 mV
Ecal), concentrations of this gas at times exceeded 1500 ppm and
accounted for 19% of the nitrogen lost from the slurry. Smaller
concentrations of the gas (170 ppm) were found during short
treatments (1.5 days) where nitrifying activity would not be
expected; partial nitrification is a possible explanation.
Quantities of nitric oxide (NO) (up to 100 ppm), and even small
amounts of NO2, were also found, suggesting these previously
unquantified nitrogen transformation routes in the traditional
nitrogen cycle exist in aerobic treatment processes.

Abstract: A laboratory study was conducted to determine the
effects of the continuous mesophilic anaerobic digestion of raw
pig manure in two types of enteropathogenic microorganisms,
bacterial and viral. Faecal coliforms (indigenous to pig manure)
and coliphage f2 (ATCC 15766 B1) were used as a model for some
indigenous enteropathogenic microorganisms. The study was
completed with laboratory survival experiments in lagoon
stabilization of raw pig manure, for both models. Experiments for
f2 survival in cell-free synthetic medium were also carried out.
The results show that the anaerobic digestion process is more
effective in eliminating viral than bacterial particles. Some
parameters related to the ultimate biogas yield and kinetics
were also determined. Lagoon stabilization of raw pig manure
provides a more suitable environment for the removal of faecal
coliforms than does anaerobic digestion. Finally, it was
concluded that volatile fatty acids appeared to be responsible
for the elimination of faecal coliforms. The agent that causes
f2 inactivation is not well identified, although in some cases it
could be NH3 that seems to act as a viricidal agent.

Abstract: Eleven well-established, swine waste lagoon systems in
the lower coastal plain of North Carolina were examined for
evidence of seepage losses to the superficial aquifer. The sites
were selected to represent three major soil systems in the areas
of North Carolina with the highest swine populations. Elevated
ammonium concentration was the strongest indicator of seepage.
Estimated seepage losses were small on 45% of the systems
studied. On the remaining sites, estimates of total nitrogen
export indicated moderate to severe seepage losses. Several of
these were near surface waters that probably served as discharge
points, minimizing the likelihood of extensive impact on
groundwater quality. No assessment was made of effect on the
receiving surface waters. There was no apparent relationship
between seepage loss rates and major soil system or style of
construction. Rather, the dominant factor appeared to be the soil
materials used in construction.

Abstract: Overland flow, on slopes of 5 and 11%, was used as a
means of treating wastewater effluent from the second cell of a
swine waste anaerobic lagoon system. Wastewater samples from
both surface runoff and soil percolate (depths of 0.3, 0.9, and
1.5 m) were collected and analyzed for TKN-N, NH4-N, ON-N,
NO3-N, pH, COD, K, EC, and TP-P. Using these data, along with the
hydraulic loading rates and quantitative runoff collection, mass
balances on the above parameters were calculated to determine the
surface treatment of the lagoon effluent. These mass balances
suggest that overland flow is an excellent treatment system for
liquid lagoon effluents with mass reductions of greater than 60%
for all parameters on both slopes, except NO3-N, which had an
approximate increase of 1.7 times on the 11% slope. Samples
collected from the three lysimeter depths (soil percolate)
suggest that NO3-N leaching from the plots may be a concern over
an extended period of use. The runoff from overland flow systems
of this type will require further treatment.

Abstract: Exogenous plasmid isolation was used to assess the
presence of mobilizing plasmids in several soils and activated
sludges. Triparental matings were performed with Escherichia
coli (a member of the gamma subgroup of the Proteobacteria) as
the donor of an IncQ plasmid (pMOL155, containing the heavy
metal resistance genes czc: Co(r), Zn(r), and Cd(r)), Alcaligenes
eutrophus (a member of the beta subgroup of the Proteobacteria)
as the recipient, and indigenous microorganisms from soil and
sludge samples as helper strains. We developed an assay to
assess the plasmid mobilization potential of a soil ecosystem on
the basis of the number of transconjugants obtained after
exogenous isolations. After inoculation into soil of several
concentrations of a helper strain (E. coli CM120 harboring IncP
[IncP1] mobilizing plasmid RP4), the log numbers of
transconjugants obtained from exogenous isolations with different
soil samples were a linear function of the log numbers of helper
strain CM120(RP4) present in the soils. Four soils were analyzed
for the presence of mobilizing elements, and mobilizing plasmids
were isolated from two of these soils. Several sludge samples
from different wastewater treatment plants yielded much higher
numbers of transconjugants than the soil samples, indicating
that higher numbers of mobilizing strains were present. The
mobilizing plasmids isolated from Gent-O sludge and one plasmid
isolated from Eislingen soil hybridized to the repP probe,
whereas the plasmids isolated from Essen soil did not hybridize
to a large number of rep probes (repFIC, repHI1, repHI2, repL/M,
repN, repP, repT, repU, repW, repX). This indicates that in

Abstract: A careful appraisal of piggery wastewaters should be
made mainly because of their high content of organic constituents
together with the nitrogen and stringent effluent limitations
involved. Specific emphasis should be given to the COD of the
wastewater as it contains, aside from a biodegradable portion, a
residual fraction which persists throughout the treatment
process. Experimental evaluations indicated that the effluent of
a laboratory-scale SBR contained significant amounts of
non-biodegradable COD. Since SBR was primarily operated to
achieve nitrification- denitrification, a method previously
developed for the assessment of the influent soluble inert COD,
S(I) was modified in a way to reflect the possible impact of the
nitrification and denitrification processes. The paper also
summarizes the performance of SBR with respect to its nitrogen
removal potential from piggery wastewaters.

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of

order to establish the extent of the correlation between: dry
matter (TS) and specific gravity (SG); TS and total Kjeldhal
nitrogen (TKN) and total phosphorus (Pt); SG and TKN and Pt. In
addition, two N-meters for field use were also used to estimate
the ammonium (NH4-H) content. All the variables (TS, SG, TKN,
Pt, NH4-N) show a high index of correlation for both the pig and
dairy cattle slurry and the linear relations applied proved
adequate in all cases. Though the precision of the equations is
not very high, the estimate for TKN and Pt content, obtained from
the relationship between the SG and these elements is
nevertheless acceptable for practical farm use of animal manure.

Abstract: The objective of the study was to evaluate the pressure
exerted by frozen manure caps on the walls of concrete manure
tanks. The research is aimed at improving design criteria for
concrete manure tanks for cold climates. Scale models were used
to determine the pressures exerted by ice caps resulting from
2% and 4% solids swine manures and to compare them to that
exerted by a fresh water ice cap. For typical Quebec
conditions, the highest mean ice pressure measured in laboratory
tests was equivalent to 72 +/- 13 kPa from liquid manure. The
circumferential stress was influenced by the liquid type but
not by the filling methods and was significantly lower for the
manure ice caps than for water ice. However, no significant
differences in stresses were attributable to the two levels of
solids content of the manures. This implies that the stress
differences observed between water and manure ice are mainly
due to the presence of urea which would have an effect on the
thermal expansion.

Abstract: Long-chain fatty acids in germination-inhibiting
animal-waste composts were identified by gas chromatography-mass
spectrometry as myristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic,
and linolenic acids. These acids were found at concentrations
greater than 0.25 mg (g dry compost)-1. The identified acids,
together with lauric acid, and five kinds of short- and
medium-chain fatty acid, were tested for their effects on the
germination process of sorghum seeds. The authentic long-chain
fatty acids, which were dissolved in a 1 : 9 (v/v) mixture of
methanol and distilled water at 40 mg liter-1, significantly
reduced the alpha-amylase activity, physiological water uptake,
and ATP content of the germinating seeds during the first 24 h
of imbibition, as well as the rate of germination of seeds. Among
the tested fatty acids, myristic and palmitic acids were the
most potent inhibitors of germination. The inhibitory effects of
long-chain fatty acids were stronger than those of the phenolic
acids. The short- and medium-chain fatty acids did not have any
significant germination-inhibitory effects at 40 mg liter-1. The
results indicate that the long-chain fatty acids are the
dominant inhibitors of germination in animal-waste composts, and
that the inhibition of the alpha- amylase activity in germinating
sorghum seeds is one aspect of the mode of action of these
long-chain fatty acids.

Abstract: The persistence of five animal viruses, representing
picorna-, rota-, parvo-, adeno-, and herpesviruses, and the
coliphage f2 was determined in the field by exposing the viruses
to different animal wastes and by adopting an established filter
sandwich technique. This technique allows us to copy the natural
state of viruses in the environment, where adsorption onto or
incorporation into suspended solids may prolong virus survival.
Using filter sandwiches either equipped with porous (15 nm in
diameter) or poreless polycarbonate (PC) membranes, it was
possible to differentiate between overall virus inactivation and
the effect of virucidal agents that act through poreless PC
membranes. Depending on ambient temperature, pH, and type of
animal waste, values for time, in days, required for a 90%
reduction of virus titer varied widely, ranging from less than 1
week for herpesvirus to more than 6 months for rotavirus. Virus
inactivation progressed substantially faster in liquid cattle
manure, a mixture of urine and water (pH > 8.0), than in
semiliquid wastes that consisted of mixtures of feces, urine,
water, and bedding materials (pH < 8.0). Hitherto unidentified
virucidal agents that permeate poreless PC membranes contributed
substantially to the overall inactivation. On the other hand,
substances that protect rotavirus and possibly other viruses from
inactivation may be present in animal wastes. Together, the
study showed that viruses contained in manure may persist for
prolonged periods of time if stored under nonaerated conditions.
At times of land application, this may lead to environmental
contamination with pathogens.

111. Inactivation of poliovirus type 1 in mixed human and

Abstract: The persistence of poliovirus type 1 (PO1) in mixed
septic tank effluent and swine manure slurry was determined, and
the antiviral effects of several bacterial cultures isolated
from swine manure slurry were demonstrated. In two field
experiments, PO1 was consistently inactivated more rapidly in
the mixed waste than in the control Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered
saline (D-PBS). D values (time [in days] for a 90% reduction of
virus titer) were 18.7 and 29.9 for the mixed waste and 56.5 and
51.8 for the D-PBS control, respectively. The virus inactivation
in the mixed waste was temperature dependent. A comparison of
PO1 inactivation in raw mixed waste, autoclaved mixed waste, and
bacterium- free filtrate of raw mixed waste at the same pH and
temperatures provided an initial demonstration that the virus
inactivation in the mixed waste is related, at least in part, to
microbial activity. At 25 degrees C, the D value was 6.8 for the
mixed waste, 11.2 for the autoclaved mixed waste, and 10.5 for
the bacterium-free filtrate of raw mixed waste. At 37 degrees C,
D values were 1.3, 3.9, and 3.1 for these three suspending media,
respectively. Three bacterial isolates which had shown antiviral
effects in a screening test each caused virus inactivation in
autoclaved mixed waste, in which the effect of other
microorganisms was excluded. Inhibition of PO1 inactivation by
protease inhibitors suggests that the virus inactivation in the
mixed waste was due in part to proteolytic enzymes produced by
bacteria in the waste.

Descriptor: pig-slurry; capsicum-annuum; lactuca-sativa;

Abstract: The influence of pig slurry applications on the
nutrient composition of three horticultural crops (pepper, tomato
and lettuce) grown on two calcareous soils under irrigated
conditions was studied. The optimum dose of pig slurry for
nitrogen nutrition of the crops was found to be 100 m3 ha-1 and
was independent of the number of previous applications. Soil
characteristics had a great influence on the amount of phosphorus
taken up by the plants. This is due to the large amount of
phosphorus added in the slurry which remained in the soil in a
plant-available form. As the number of applications increased,
the amount of slurry required to satisfy the phosphorus
requirement of the crops decreased. Amounts of slurry within
100-150 m3 ha-1 were required for adequate potassium plant
nutrition. However, soil characteristics, particularly the amount
of clay and thus its exchange capacity, had a significant
influence on the plant potassium uptake.

Abstract: The development of groups of 3, 6 or 12 individuals of
the earthworm Eisenia andrei fed with fresh solid pig manure was
studied in 1 litre vol. The resulting populations were described
in numbers and biomasses by cocoon production, different size
classes and fertility stage during a period of 230 days. The
total number of clitellate worms and cocoon production reached
their summit after ca 175 days, with worms from the F1
generation becoming clitellate for a period of <60 days, which is
a very short period compared to a clitellate period of at least
150 days for the parental generation. Cocoon production and net
recruitment had nearly ceased at the end of the period. The group
of 12 individuals initially showed a more restrained development
than the smaller groups as the F1 generation peak was much more
pronounced than the F2 generation peak was. The growth of the
total number of worms in the largest group was evolving lineary,
while the less dense groups were growing more unrestrained,
sigmoidally. All of the monitored groups of worms in the limited
volume seemed to approach a high constant density with a
homogeneous population composed of nonfertile worms > 100 mg,
originating from both smaller slow-growing worms and degenerating
clitellate worms. The relative growth was related to time in an
exponential decreasing way and the conversion ratio was
decreasing from 10 to 4% during the growth period. At the peak
of the first generation the worms were ingesting about their own
weight every day, but soon they were only ingesting their own
weight once every week.

Abstract: Two odor evaluation methods were tested during a
12-week dynamic experiment on the effects of a commercial
additive on swine manure in anaerobic storage. One method was a
rating method which combined many of the best features of past
research methods. The other method was a ranking method which
was designed to limit the effects of odor fatigue. Manure was
collected daily from growing-finishing pigs and added to barrels
at a rate corresponding to the volume of manure that would fall
on the barrel area in a typical swine pit. Odors were analyzed
weekly by human sniffers and detector tubes were used to measure
ammonia, amines, and hydrogen sulfide. The manure was also
analyzed for total solids content. Results showed that the
magnitude estimation rating method could distinguish between odor
levels when there was a significant difference in odor levels.
The ranking method distinguished a difference between the highest
treatment level and untreated manure which may indicate that it
is a more precise method but was of limited use on its own
because it did not give the magnitude of the difference.

Abstract: Changes in amounts of macro- (N, P, K) and
micro-nutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) were determined in two
calcareous sods amended over an eight-month period with pig
slurry applications ranging from 0 to 500 m3/ha, and planted in
containers with green pepper (Capsicum annuum). Total N and
exchangeable K increased after slurry applications of 300 m3/ha
or more, and available P increased after the smallest
application rate (100 m3/ha). Maximum crop nutrient uptakes of
41, 40 and 91% for N, P and K occurred with the smallest dose of
slurry. Large losses of N, ranging from 27 to 74% (mean 55%) of
N added to soil, occurred with all slurry treatments. From 41 to
71% (mean 55%) of the total P added in pig slurry was fixed in
nonassimilable forms. Most of the K from the pig slurry was
available to the plants. Most of the micro-nutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn
and Cu) from the slurry were immobilized in the soil, probably
because of the high pH and the small amounts of organic matter
in both the slurries and soils tested.

Abstract: A reduction in the emission of malodorous gases from
liquid hog manure (LHM) would represent an advantage for LHM use
in agricultural systems. Procedures for the reduction of
disagreeable odors during storage of LHM (Sus scrofa domesticus)
were studied in the laboratory. Sphagnum peat moss (Sphagnum
moss species), 1.5 M H2SO4, 1.7 M H3PO4, monocalcium phosphate
monohydrate (MCPM), elemental S, CaCO3, and CaO were used to
reduce odors. Amended and nonamended LHM was incubated with and
without aeration for periods ranging from 2 to 720 h at 23 +/-
0.4 degrees C. Odor measurements of emitted air were carried out
using a sensory panel. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
(GC-MS) was used to identify specific odor-producing compounds.
The GC-MS analysis revealed that added Sphagnum moss (SM)
prevented the release of 1,2-ethanediamine, N-methyl methanamine,
3-methyl 2-butanamine, methyl hydrazine, ethanethioic acid, and
methanethiol from LHM. Aeration as a treatment, in general,
resulted in a greater reduction of odor presence and
offensiveness than nonaeration. In nonaerated LHM treatments, SM
at levels of 4 or 8% (w/w) or a combined treatment of 2% CaCO3
plus 1% SM resulted in a significant reduction in odor presence
and offensiveness. Little odor reduction was observed with H2SO4,
H3PO4, MCPM, and CaO, and no odor reduction was found with
elemental S.

Abstract: Liquid hog manure (Sus scrofa domesticus) is in common
use as a fertilizer or a soil conditioner in agricultural
production. Liquid hog manure (LHM) suffers from N loss through
volatilization of ammonia (NH3), however. Reduction of NH3 loss
from 4% total solids LHM was studied using added Sphagnum peat
moss (Sphagnum fuscum peat), sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid,
monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM), elemental S, and
calcium carbonate. Cumulative losses of NH3-N ranged between 0
and 711 mg N kg-1 LHM applied. Elemental Sulfur and calcium
carbonate (CaCO3) treatments induced greater NH3 losses compared
with the nonamended LHM, whereas acidic treatments including
Sphagnum peat moss (SM) reduced NH3 losses by at least 74.6%.
Volatilization of NH3 from LHM increased as the pH of amended
LHM treatment increased. The relationships between cumulative (15
d) NH3 volatilized and initial pH of amended LHM varied,
depending on the amendment. The nutrient values of amended LHM
stored for 25 d under continuous aeration were assessed on two
soils mapped as Chicot (fine loamy, mixed, nonacid, mesic Typic
Hapludoll) and Uplands (coarse loamy, mixed, nonacid, Typic
Haplorthod) from eastern Canada. Treatment of LHM with SM at
greater than 1% (w/w) reduced NH3 volatilization. Added CaCO3
increased NH3 loss. In general, amendments did not reduce
effectiveness of LHM-N for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) growth. An
exception was the 1% SM + 2% CaCO3 amendment that reduced plant
growth.

Abstract: Two laboratory scale, anaerobic baffled reactors (one

and 62%, respectively, with maximum methane production of 0.45
and 0.50 L/g VS added at a loading of 4 g VS/L.d. The baffled
chambers did an excellent job of trapping the small diameter,
methane containing particles of proteins, cellulose,
hemicellulose and lipids. Solids retention times of 22 and 25
days were achieved with a corresponding hydraulic retention of 15
days.

Abstract: The persistence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) was
determined both in mixtures of septic tank effluent (STE) with
dairy cattle manure slurry (DCMS) and in mixtures of STE with
swine manure slurry (SMS). HAV was consistently inactivated more
rapidly in the two types of mixed wastes than in STE alone or in
the control Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). At 5
degrees C, the D values (time, in days, for a 90% reduction of
virus titer) were 34.6 for the mixed STE and DCMS, 48.5 for the
mixed STE and SMS, 58.5 for STE, and 217.4 for the Dulbecco's
PBS control. At 22 degrees C, the D values were 23.0, 17.1, 35.1,
and 90.1 for the four suspension media, respectively. A
comparison of HAV inactivation in mixed wastes subjected to
different treatments at the same pH and temperatures showed that
the virus inactivation in the mixed wastes was related, at least
in part, to microbial activity. In mixed STE and DCMS, the D
values at 25 degrees C were 8.3 for raw mixed wastes, 15.1 for
autoclaved mixed wastes, and 9.6 for bacterium-free filtrate of
raw mixed wastes; D values at 37 degrees C were 6.8, 10.1, and
7.0 for these three suspension media, respectively. In mixed STE
and SMS, the D values at 25 degrees C were 8.1 for raw mixed
wastes, 14.3 for autoclaved mixed wastes, and 9.1 for
bacterium-free filtrate of raw mixed wastes; the D values at 37
degrees C were 6.8, 9.4, and 6.9 for the three suspensions,
respectively.

Abstract: A rainfall simulator was used on repacked Waukegan silt
loam and Hubbard loamy sand soil columns to determine the
combined effect of rainfall and livestock waste application on
infiltration and runoff. Dairy and swine waste slurries were
either surface-applied or incorporated. Livestock waste
application noticeably reduced the amount of runoff during a
series of artificial rainfall events for all cases with the
exception of swine waste incorporated into the silt loam soil.
Loamy sand exhibited short-term plugging when both wastes were
surface-applied with no incorporation. Surface-application of
dairy waste on the silt loam soil apparently prevented formation
of a surface seal and improved the infiltration capacity. of the
soil. Less surface-scaling in waste-applied columns may be
attributed to increased organic matter on the surface of the
soil that aided aggregate stability. Also. the waste particles
protected the surface from the energy of the impacting raindrops.
