This article highlights the composition of wastewater from poultry farms and their suitability for irrigation of agricultural crops. It has been established that the chemical demand of wastewater from poultry farms is 480–850 mg О2/l, which indicates a high level of contamination with organic products. Coarse and finely dispersed substances vary within 430–720 mg/l, and biochemical oxygen consumption on the fifth day (BOD5) within 0.39–0.74 g О2/l, and at the time of mass effluent emissions it reached 15–1.6 g О2/l. The titer of Escherichia coli was equal to 10-6, the number of microbes ranged from 48.5 x 106 to 61.6 x 106. Determination of the suitability of wastewater based on generally accepted methods showed that they are quite suitable for irrigation of crops without additional reclamation measures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
