Abstract:Field application of beef cattle feedlot runoff may transport manure‐borne microbes and antibiotic resistant bacteria to agricultural soils eventually impacting deeper soils and groundwater. To evaluate this potential, total soil, antibiotic resistance (AR), and fecal indicator bacteria (Escherichia coli and Enterococcus) and the presence/abundance of AR genes were examined to a depth of 1.8 m in an agricultural field receiving long‐term application of feedlot runoff and compared to a nearby pasture receiving … Show more
