Study on Fate and Transport of Salinomycin Sodium in Sandy Soil| Chapter 8 | Recent Progress in Plant and Soil Research Vol. 2

 The goal of this study is to use soil column experiments to explore the fate and transport of SAL-Na in sandy and loamy sand soil. Salinomycin sodium (BIO COX) is a polyether ionophore that is extensively used to control coccidial infections and promote growth in chicken. Salinomycin sodium (SAL-Na) is more toxic than many other antibiotics and can be lethal if swallowed, breathed, or absorbed via the skin, so determining its destiny in the soil environment is critical. In sandy soil, the mobility of SAL-Na was measured. Experiments on soil column leaching revealed that the significantlyThe amount of SAL-Na given to each column was not leached from the soil fractions, as evidenced by the absence of sorbed SAL-Na in the leachate of sandy soils. In comparison to sterile soil, non-sterile soil exhibits higher SAL-Na mobility. The concentration of SAL-Na in leachate collected from the soil column (75 percent hydraulic conductivity) went through phosphate buffer was greater (0.48 mg/L), and the movement was likewise higher in non-sterile soil. In sandy soil leachate, almost 35% of SAL-Na was discovered.

Investigating the Environmental Effects of Urban Livestock Keeping: Which Types of Livestock Pose More Serious Problems? | Chapter 12 | Current Research in Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences Vol.1

 

Urban livestock keeping has remained one of the key urban livelihoods in spite of the negative
environmental consequences it causes to urban dwellers. A study was conducted in two municipalities of Dodoma and Morogoro, examining the effects of livestock keeping on the environment and on the community. Primary data were collected at household level through interviews and focused group discussion. Secondary data were collected through documentary review on environmental pollution and conflict due urban livestock keeping which were obtained from Municipal Offices, libraries and internet. Using a sample of 298 respondents, The chi-square test of association between keeping livestock and environmental pollution and social conflict rejected the null hypothesis of independence at 5% level of significance on almost all pollution variables for different types of livestock, implying that keeping livestock could result into noise, heaps of waste, odour, dust, plant destruction and social conflict. The conclusion was that environmental effects of urban livestock keeping are demonstrated by all types of livestock at varying degrees. Livestock keeping of any type in urban areas has, therefore, negative environmental and health consequences when there is weak enforcement of relevant bylaws.
