Pilot-Scale Bio-Augmented Aerobic Composting of Excavated Foot-And-Mouth Disease Carcasses

Abstract: Abstract:In the present work, we tested the validity of using novel, bio-augmented, aerobic composting with carcass-degrading microorganisms for the ex situ stabilization of carcasses at pilot scale with previously poorly decomposed carcasses excavated from a 3-year old burial site. The significantly decreased chemical oxygen demand (COD, 160,000 mg/kg to 40,000 mg/kg) and inorganic nitrogen species (total nitrogen, 5000 mg/kg to 2000 mg/kg) indicated effective bio-stabilization of carcasses by bio-augmented c… Show more

“…The mortalities were composted for 230 days and a temperature of 55°C was achieved by day 7 and remained above it for 70 days in all locations inside the bins. Kim et al (2017) composted excavated mortalities from a 3-year old foot-and-mouth disease burial site in South Korea. The quantitative characterization of potentially pathogenic bacteria using the next-generation sequencing (NGS) showed that the burialcomposting sequential system can be used to reduce the microbial risk to human health.…”

“…This widespread carcass burial raised environmental concerns. In Japan, invasion of the disease into a high-density area led to difficulties in finding suitable burial sites, which resulted in delays in disease eradication efforts and required the Japanese government to implement a vaccinateto-kill method (Flory and Peer, 2017;Kim et al, 2017). During an outbreak, being ready to properly manage the infected animals is essential to prevent the spread of the disease.…”

“…Penyiapan sampel terutama daging sangat mempengaruhi hasil dari uji RT-PCR, sehingga perlu dievaluasi untuk memberikan hasil yang optimal. Beberapa penelitian menggunakan mortar dan pestle untuk menghaluskan sampel yang diuji (Wekesa et al 2015;Shahiduzzaman et al 2016;Kim et al 2017), namun demikian mortar dan pestle yang digunakan harus diganti dan disterilisasi setiap melakukan penyiapan sampel untuk menghindari kontaminasi dan penyebaran virus PMK, sehingga prosedur ini membutuhkan waktu yang lebih lama. Berbeda dengan mortar dan pestle, micropestle, merupakan penghalus sampel jaringan yang terbuat dari plastik dan biasanya terdapat dalam kit ekstraksi yang disertakan dalam prosedur ekstraksi sampel organ atau jaringan.…”

“…Hasil uji menunjukkan bahwa daging yang digunakan negatif PMK dengan uji RT-PCR sehingga daging tersebut dapat digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Penyiapan sampel pada pengujian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan mortar dan pestle sesuai dengan prosedur yang digunakan dalam penelitian sebelumnya (Wekesa et al 2015;Shahiduzzaman et al 2016;Kim et al 2017).…”
