Air treatment technologies in pig farms. Life cycle assessment of dry and wet scrubbers in Northern Italy and Northeastern Spain
(Elsevier, 2024-02-24)
Over the years, different solutions were developed and tested to reduce the emissions of ammonia and particulate matter from the livestock facilities. The environmental performances of these solutions ...
Ammonium and Phosphate Recovery in a Three Chambered Microbial Electrolysis Cell: Towards Obtaining Struvite from Livestock Manure
(MDPI, 2021-10-27)
Ammonia and phosphate, which are present in large quantities in waste streams such as livestock manure, are key compounds in fertilization activities. Their recovery will help close natural cycles and ...
The potential of a combination of pungent spices as a novel supplement in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) diets to aid in the strategic use of fish oil in aquafeeds: a holistic perspective
(Frontiers, 2023-09-25)
This work studied the potential of a combination of pungent spices (capsicum, black pepper, ginger, and cinnamaldehyde) to be used as a supplement in diets of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata; 44.1 ± ...
Black Fungi and Hydrocarbons: An Environmental Survey for Alkylbenzene Assimilation
(MDPI, 2021-05-07)
Environmental pollution with alkylbenzene hydrocarbons such as toluene is a recurring phenomenon. Their toxicity and harmful effect on people and the environment drive the search for sustainable removal ...
Transfer of manure as fertilizer from livestock farms to crop fields: The case of Catalonia
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)
Intensive livestock production might have a negative environmental impact, by producing large amounts of animal manure, which, if not properly managed, can contaminate nearby water bodies with nutrient ...
Gut eukaryotic communities in pigs: diversity, composition and host genetics contribution
(BMC, 2020-05-07)
Background
The pig gut microbiome harbors thousands of species of archaea, bacteria, viruses and eukaryotes such as protists and fungi. However, since the majority of published studies have been focused ...
Critical analysis of life cycle inventory datasets for organic crop production systems
(Springer, 2022-04-20)
Purpose
Organic agriculture (OA) has gained widespread popularity due to its view as a more sustainable method of farming. Yet OA and conventional agriculture (CA) can be found to have similar or varying ...
LC‐IMPACT: A regionalized life cycle damage assessment method
(Wiley, 2020-05-31)
Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) is a lively field of research, and data and models are continuously improved in terms of impact pathways covered, reliability, and spatial detail. However, many of ...
Modeling the Impact of Salinity Variations on Aquatic Environments: Including Negative and Positive Effects in Life Cycle Assessment
(American Chemical Society, 2022-01-05)
Salinity is changing in aquatic systems due to anthropogenic activities (like irrigation or dam management) and climate change. Although there are studies on the effects of salinity variations on ...
Effect of organic fertilisation on soil phosphatase activity, phosphorus availability and forage yield in mountain permanent meadows
(Elsevier, 2024-04-08)
Grassland management aims to ensure sufficient yield, forage quality and biodiversity. Robust knowledge supports sustainable management practices. In South Tyrol (NE Italy), we studied the effect of ...
