Alternative uses for co-products: harnessing the potential of valuable compounds from meat processing chains
(Elsevier BV, 2017-10-01)Opportunities for exploiting the inherent value of protein-rich meat processing co-products, in the context of increased global demand for protein and for sustainable processing systems, are discussed. While direct consumption ... -
Chemical amendment of pig slurry: control of runoff related risks due to episodic rainfall events up to 48 h after application
(Springer Nature, 2013-03-26)Losses of phosphorus (P) from soil and slurry during episodic rainfall events can contribute to eutrophication of surface water. However, chemical amendments have the potential to decrease P and suspended solids (SS) losses ... -
Evaluation of amendments to control phosphorus losses in runoff from dairy-soiled water
(Springer Nature, 2011-04-15)Amendments with the potential to reduce phosphorus (P) losses from agricultural grassland arising from the land application of dairy-soiled water (DSW) were investigated. Optimal application rates were studied, and associated ... -
Evaluation of amendments to control phosphorus losses in runoff from pig slurry applications to land
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-11-24)If spread in excess of crop requirements, incidental phosphorus (P) losses from agriculture can lead to eutrophication of receiving waters. The use of amendments in targeted areas may help reduce the possibility of surface ... -
Impact of chemically amended pig slurry on greenhouse gas emissions, soil properties and leachate
(Elsevier BV, 2013-10-01) -
Incidental phosphorus and nitrogen loss from grassland plots receiving chemically amended dairy cattle slurry
(Elsevier BV, 2012-12-01) -
Zeolite combined with alum and polyaluminum chloride mixed with agricultural slurries reduces carbon losses in runoff from grassed soil boxes
(American Society of Agronomy, 2016-01-01)Carbon (C) losses from agricultural soils to surface waters can migrate through water treatment plants and result in the formation of disinfection by-products, which are potentially harmful to human health. This study aimed ...
