Recognize the benefit of continuous anaerobic co-digestion of cow manure and sheep manure from the perspective of metabolic pathways as revealed by metatranscriptomics

Field experiments were carried out during the rainy seasons of 2008 and 2009 at the teaching and research farm of Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Lafia campus in the southern Guinea savanna agro-ecological zone of Nigeria to assess the effects of poultry manure, cow manure and sheep manure on the performance of sesame crop. Manure application was found to have significantly increased both yield and yield attributes of sesame compared with non application at all. Application of 2.5 t ha-1 of poultry manure produced the highest value for all the yield attributes measured. The seed yield per hectare in both years were also optimized with the application of 2.5 t ha-1 of poultry manure (1914.07 and 1933.20 kg ha-1 in 2008 and 2009 respectively) compared with any other applied rates of sheep and cow manure and is therefore recommended.

A field experiment was conducted at Abu-Ghrib during 2013- 2014 season to study the effect of harrowing systems on the decomposition and fermentation on organic matter(OM) when added and mixed with the soil under special technology, as well as its effect on the growth parameters and productivity of (Zea mays L. 5018). The experiment was laid out using factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) in split-split design with three replications in SCL bare soil with a percent of moisture ranged from 16 – 18 %. The main plots were designated to the two systems of harrowing (Rotary Harrowand Disc Harrow ). The sub main plots were specified for two organic matters ( Sheep manure ,cow manure ) . Data were statistically analyzed, and LSD was used to compare means at 0.05 levels. After 90 days, the obtained results indicated that there were significanteffects of harrowing systems on the rate of decomposition of organic matter and their effects on some soil and plant properties. The rotary harrows system showed significant increase in bulk density, and decrease in total porosity, average of mean weight diameter (MWD), total nitrogen, and height of plant. Under constant level of OM cow manure showed superiority on sheep manure and gave a significant increase in added nutrients, rate of decomposition of OM, improving soil properties and in turn on growth and productivity of Zea may L. 5018.

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of earthworm (Eisenia fetida andrei) castings derived from sheep, cow, or horse manures on the growth of poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima `Freedom Red'). Poinsettia cuttings were transplanted to 1-L (15-cm-diameter) plastic pots that were filled with castings:peat moss at 1:0, 1:3, 1:1, 3:1, or 0:1 by volume for each animal manure evaluated. Plants were fertilized using 200 ppm N from a 15-5-25 (N-P2O5-K2O) fertilizer applied with the irrigation water. Total bract area and growth index were greatest in those treatments consisting of 3:1 and 1:1 (castings:peat) from sheep and cow manures, 1:0 (castings:peat) from cow manure and for growth index only, 1:0 (castings:peat) from horse manure. For these two characteristics, 100% sheep manure castings and 100% peatmoss had the lowest values. The time to anthesis was least when poinsettias were grown in 3:1 or 1:1 castings:peat from sheep and cow manures and 1:3, 1:0, or 3:1 from sheep, cow, or horse manure respectively. Anthesis was most delayed when plants were grown in 100% castings from sheep manure.

Randomized Complete Block Design

The objective of this research was to study the effect of bokashi livestock on the growth and yield of tomatoes. The experiment was conducted in Bandar Lampung from October 2009 until February 2010. The experimental design was randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The treatments were: control; inorganic fertilizers at a recommended rate of (kg ha-1) 135 N, 75 P2O5, and 110 K2O (RR); chicken manure bokashi + RR; chicken manure bokashi + 50% RR; cow manure bokashi + RR; cow manure bokashi + 50% RR; sheep manure bokashi + RR; sheep manure bokashi + 50% RR; horse manure bokashi + RR; horse manure bokashi + 50% RR. Each bokashi treatment was applied at the rate of 20 ton ha-1. The result of experiment showed that chicken manure bokashi was the best among bokashi livestock. The application of 50% RR combined with chicken, cow, sheep or horse manure bokashi gave a higher yield than treatment with inorganic fertilizer at recommended rates. These results demostrated that the application of bokashi livestock could potentially reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers while maintaining higher yield.

Accelerated Degradation Test

In 1994, field trials were undertaken to evaluate the agronomic performance of a range of paper mulches in vegetable production. During the course of the experiments, the majority of the paper mulches tested degraded part way through the growing season. Before the next growing season, a range of Kraft papers differing in densities and compositions were subjected to an accelerated degradation test to determine which mulches would be suitable for use under Quebec field conditions. A mixture of equal parts black soil, sand, and manure (two parts sheep manure and one part liquid cow manure) was placed into trays of 26 x 52 cm. Experimental papers were cut into strips measuring 2.5 x l.5 cm and put into the trays such that half of the strips were covered with the mixture. The trays were placed in a growth cabinet (30C with a relative humidity of 50%). Three replicates of each treatment were sampled 3, 5, 7, 11, and 14 days after placement to determined the amount of degradation that had taken place. It was found that the length of time taken for degradation in the accelerated system was 3.7 times less than that of the field.

Steroid Conjugates

ABSTRACT Pregnenolone-sulphate (400 mg) was perfused through isolated dog livers. The following steroids were isolated in the perfusate: pregnenolone, progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, androst-5-ene-diol and the two steroid conjugates, i. e. pregnenolone-sulphate and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate. Two »free« steroids and one steroid conjugate could not be characterized. A tentative scheme for the metabolic pathways of pregnenolone-sulphate is presented.
