“…Compared with controls, dry matter in treatment with 1% sea urchin shell powder (T1) and 1% feed (T2) was increased up to 2 weeks and 1 week and then tended to decrease after 3 weeks and 2 weeks, respectively. This indicated that dry matter was influenced by using sea urchin shell powder and feed additives, indicating dry matter contents excreted by the birds depended on the dry matter digestibility in the diet (Bolani et al, 2010). According to NRC (1994), broiler chickens have a dry matter digestibility of about 85 to 90% in the feed.…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of sea urchin shell powder on nitrogen characteristics in poultry litter by assigning ninety 1-d-old male broiler chicks (Arbor Acres) to one of 3 treatments (control, 1% sea urchin shell powder, and 1% feed additives) in 3 replicates of 10 birds each. For all treatments, the overall dry matter contents were decreased (P < 0.05) as time increased, except for at 1 week. When compared with controls, the dietary sea urchin shell powder and feed additives for 0 and 3 weeks did influence their TN contents, but not for 1, 2 and 4 weeks. The treatments with sea urchin shell powder and feed additives had a significant (P < 0.05) influence on NH3-N in poultry litter compared with controls. However, at 4 weeks, no marked differences were observed in NH3-N contents among treatments. Treatments with 1% sea urchin shell powder might enhance the value of poultry litter as N fertilizer

“…In addition, high temperature was used in the granulation process. These phenomena promoted losses of ammonia from some N fractions (López-Mosquera et al, 2008), including uric acid, urea, and ammonium (Thomsen, 2004;Bolan et al, 2010;Miola et al, 2014). Consequently, less ammonia volatilization occurred following addition of poultry litter to the soil, due to the presence of more stable organic N fractions in the material (Brinson et al, 1994;López-Mosquera et al, 2008).…”

Quantification of ammonia volatilization after addition of animal residues and nitrogen (N) mineral fertilizers to the soil is important for N management in fertilization programs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding a urease inhibitor to N fertilizers to minimize ammonia losses following soil application. The experiment was carried out in a laboratory with samples of a Brazilian Oxisol containing 790 g kg -1 clay and 23 g kg -1 organic matter. Treatments consisted of addition of poultry litter (PL), organic mineral fertilizer (OMF) and urea to the soil, with and without the urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), plus a control with no fertilizer. We applied the fertilizers over the soil surface, with no soil incorporation, at a rate of 200 mg kg -1 N. Experimental units consisted of PVC tubes with a diameter of 0.15 m, containing 1.0 kg of soil (dry basis). Ammonia volatilization was measured for 56 days following fertilizer application to the soil using sponge discs impregnated with phosphoric acid and glycerin, which were fitted inside the tubes 0.15 m above the soil surface. Ammonia volatilization peaks varied according to the fertilizer, and most of them occurred in the first 15 days following application to the soil. Total ammonia volatilized from the soil treated with PL or OMF had no influence on the urease inhibitor, probably because the losses were small, attaining a maximum of 2.5 and 9 % of the total N applied, respectively. In the treatment that received urea, NBPT delayed the peak of volatilization by three weeks and decreased the loss of ammonia from 22 to 9 % of the N applied. Use of urease inhibitor does not always decrease ammonia volatilization, especially when mixed with fertilizers in which urea is not the only source of N.

“…Each treatment was composed of three replicate beds (1m x 2m × 2m) arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Basal fertilizer (NPK) application was done as recommended by the Department of Agriculture, Sri Lanka (Bolan et al 2010). Cattle and poultry manure were also applied as basal fertilizer.…”

“…These natural fertilizers contain relatively high concentrations of Zn, Se, Mn, Co, As and Fe (Bolan et al 2010). Consumption of heavy metal contaminated vegetables is one of the direct pathways of heavy metal entry to the food chain (Sharma et al 2009;Chen et al 2014).…”

Abstract. In this study, we investigated heavy metal uptake and the effects of Na 2 SiO 3 on heavy metal absorption by field grown Basella alba L (Basellaceae). The concentrations of Fe, Cr, Pb and Cd in the field soils were 29755.30 ± 292.02, 32.99 ± 0.97, 26.01 ± 1.02, 0.13 ± 0.004 µg/g, respectively. These concentrations are significantly below the maximum permissible limits reported by FAO/WHO. Although Fe, Cr, Pb and Cd were present in the soil, only Fe was absorbed by B. alba; the tissue concentrations of other heavy metals were below the detection limit. The distribution of Fe from soil to different plant parts was investigated by calculating transfer factors. Low transfer factors indicated low absorption and translocation of Fe from soil to plant tissue. We also investigated the effects of Na 2 SiO 3 on metal absorption by applying two different concentrations of Na 2 SiO 3 (Si-100 mg/L and Si-50 mg/L) alongside a control. There was a significant reduction of Fe absorption in B. alba treated with Si-100mg/L of Na 2 SiO 3 compared to that of plants treated with Si-50 mg/L of Na 2 SiO 3 and the control.
