J Environ Qual 34:774-81. 2005..Based on the total greenhouse gas budget, PG addition reduced greenhouse gas emissions (CO(2)-C equivalent) during composting of livestock manure by at least 58%, primarily due to reduced CH(4) emission... - Influence of canola and sunflower diet amendments on cattle feedlot manureXiying Hao
AAFC Lethbridge Research Centre, 5403 1st Ave South, Lethbridge, AB, Canada T1J 4B1
J Environ Qual 34:1439-45. 2005..To better manage N nutrient cycles and reduce NH3 related odor problems, feed and manure pH should be one of the factors to consider when determining feed mix rations... - Sorption of atmospheric ammonia by soil and perennial grass downwind from two large cattle feedlotsXiying Hao
Agricultural and Agri Food Canada, Lethbridge Research Center, 5403 1st Ave S, Lethbridge, Alberta, T1J 4B1, Canada
J Environ Qual 35:1960-5. 2006..Our results suggest that atmospheric NH3 from livestock operations can contribute N to local soil and vegetation, and may need to be considered when determining fertilizer rates and assessing environmental impact... - Fresh, stockpiled, and composted beef cattle feedlot manure: nutrient levels and mass balance estimates in Alberta and ManitobaFrancis J Larney
Agriculture and Agri Food Canada, Research Centre, 5403 1st Avenue South, Lethbridge, AB, Canada T1J 4B1

Agriculture and Agri Food Canada Lethbridge Research Centre, 5403 1st Ave S, Lethbridge, AB, T1J 4B1 Canada
J Environ Qual 36:1914-9. 2007..The final CM compost had higher (p < 0.05) total N, total C, and mineral N content (NO3*+ NO2* + NH4+) than did CK compost and therefore has greater agronomic value as a fertilizer... - Veterinary antimicrobials in feedlot manure: dissipation during composting and effects on composting processesAllan J Cessna
Agriculture and Agri Food Canada, Saskatoon, SK, Canada
J Environ Qual 40:188-98. 2011..The study shows that while composting leads to dissipation of antimicrobials, the microbially driven composting process may be inhibited by their presence... - Real-time quantification of mcrA, pmoA for methanogen, methanotroph estimations during compostingRanjana Sharma
Agriculture and Agri Food Research Centre, 5403 1st Ave S, Lethbridge, AB, Canada T1J 481
J Environ Qual 40:199-205. 2011..Our results indicate that mcrA and pmoA copy numbers vary during composting and that methanogen and methanotroph populations need to be examined in conjunction with net CH4 emissions from open-windrow composting of cattle feedlot manure... - A review of composting as a management alternative for beef cattle feedlot manure in southern Alberta, CanadaFrancis J Larney
Environmental Health Program, Agriculture and Agri Food Canada, Research Centre, Lethbridge, Alta, Canada
Bioresour Technol 98:3221-7. 2007..The quality of commercially-produced composts at southern Alberta feedlots has been examined as has the mineralization rates of soil-applied composts. This paper reviews results from our feedlot manure composting research program...
