Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to estimate the usefulness of mesophilic anaerobic digestion and aeration for sanitization of slurry from the aspect of limiting transmission of Salmonella into the environment. Material for the study was fresh pig slurry. Collected samples were subjected to anaerobic digestion at 35°C and aeration with an initial temperature of 35°C. The efficacy of both methods was examined based on determination of the elimination rate and theoretical time of survival of Salmonella Senftenberg W(775), Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium introduced into slurry in carriers of type Filter-Sandwich. Samples for the study were collected every 24 hours and the number of bacilli was determined with the MPN (Most Probably Number) method. The study indicated that fermentation is a more effective method for slurry sanitization. A higher rate of elimination and shorter time of survival of all the tested bacteria was observed, compared with the use of aeration. The experiment allowed us to prove the high sanitization efficacy of both examined methods. They ensure the full elimination of the tested serotypes of Salmonella in only slightly more than 10 days. The use of fermentation or aeration as a way of slurry treatment for agricultural purposes makes it possible to obtain a fertilizer which is valuable and safe for humans and the environment.

Most animals experience abrupt developmental transitions involving major tissue remodeling, but the links with metabolic changes remain poorly understood. We examined ontogenetic changes in mitochondrial volume, oxidative capacity, oxygen consumption capacity, and anaerobic capacity across four organs (gut, liver, heart, and hindlimb muscle) in Xenopus laevis from metamorphosis to adulthood. These organs differ in the extent of developmental transformation.

This study evaluates ammonia gas recovery from high-strength anaerobic digestate using a bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPED) and membrane contactor (MC). Ammonia is a promising carbon-neutral energy carrier, while digestates present both environmental challenges and opportunities for ammonia recovery. The BPED was tested at 2,000---10,000 mg-N/L under varying voltages and flow rates, achieving up to 87.

This study systematically evaluated the inhibitory effects of model compounds from sludge-derived hydrothermal liquefaction aqueous phase (HTLaq) on anaerobic digestion (AD) at both mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures using a total of 1008 anaerobic toxicity assays (ATA). Twenty representative compounds of suspected inhibitors, including nitrogen-containing heterocyclics like pyridines, pyrrolidinones, and pyrazines, as well as phenols and ketones, were tested at varying dosages (25, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg/L) to assess their impact on volatile fatty acids (VFA) generation and consumption, methane production, substrate utilization, and inhibitory compound degradation. Results demonstrated that thermophilic AD is generally more susceptible to inhibition than mesophilic AD, both in terms of acute and chronic toxicity.

In vitro simulation of rumen fermentation is critical for improving feed efficiency, assessing dietary interventions, and supporting methane mitigation strategies in ruminant production systems. However, existing fermentation platforms are often expensive, technically complex, or poorly suited for long-term microbial viability under near-rumen conditions-especially in resource-limited settings. This study presents the development and validation of a modular, low-cost engineered to replicate key physiological parameters of the rumen, including temperature control (39-40 °C), continuous buffering via artificial saliva infusion, anaerobic regulation, and simulated motility through mixing pumps.

This study investigated the impact of dietary zeolite supplementation on growth, cecal microbiota and digesta viscosity, digestive enzymes, carcass traits, blood constituents, and antioxidant parameters of broilers. A completely randomized design was used with 240 one-day-old broiler chicks randomly assigned to three dietary treatments (0%, 1.5%, and 3% zeolite as a feed additive) with four replicates of 20 chicks each.
