“Depending on the degree of intensification of livestock feeding, animal manures have
turned from a precious resource into a waste product.” Intensive confined livestock and …

Agro-products accumulate Cd from the soil and are the main source of Cd in humans. Their
use must therefore be minimized using effective strategies. Large soil beds containing low-to …

Mechanical separation of liquid animal manure can be an effective technique for production
of a liquid and a nutrient-rich solid fraction. The efficiency of separators depends on the …

Animal production has changed from subsistence to an industrial model, lowering
