“…For example, the native forest soil content of these elements is very high. A high level of Cu and Zn can be associated with an abundance of these elements in the basalt, which is the parental material of the soils in the area studied (Formentini et al, 2015). However, when using LSM these levels increased significantly, raising concerns about soil contamination, as well as the transfer of these elements to the watercourses nearby (Formentini et al, 2015;Broetto et al, 2014;Pereira et al, 2016;De Conti et al, 2016;Oliveira et al, 2017).…”

Therefore, the monitoring of these areas of continuous use of LSM is fundamental to properly planned LSM application (i.e., reducing the applied volume or even ceasing the application) in a way that avoids problems related to contamination of heavy metals in pasture areas as well as its transfer within the trophic chain of the production system.…”

“…The LSM had high concentrations of Cu and Zn as they were supplemented via swine feed and later excreted in the feces (Li et al, 2007). These elements have little mobility in the soil, therefore, successive LSM applications have been associated with accumulations in the surface layers (Formentini et al, 2015;De Conti et al, 2016;Oliveira et al, 2017). Cu has a high affinity for forming stable complexes with functional groups of soil organic matter (De Conti et al, 2016), while Zn is primarily adsorbed on surface functional groupings of mineral particles, such as iron oxides (Grohskopf et al, 2016b).…”

“…Nutrient recycling from the application of LSM in the soil is important to increasing the sustainability of the production system . Several studies have revealed that successive applications of LSM can increase soil P, K, Mg, Ca, Cu, Mn and Zn con-tents, mainly in the surface layers, i.e., 0-10 cm (Formentini et al, 2015;Lourenzi et al, 2015;Grohskopf et al, 2016a;Boitt et al, 2018), and influence the attributes of soil acidity (Lourenzi et al, 2015). Long-term use of LSM may increase soil C (Oliveira et al, 2017), with positive implications for chemical and physical properties of the soil (Cherubin et al, 2016).…”

Chemical and physical properties of soil can be altered with the successive application of liquid swine manure (LSM), also known as slurry. Therefore, monitoring the impact of LSM is essential to an assessment of the potential agronomic and environmental benefits and risks associated with management practices. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of LSM on the chemical and physical attributes of soil under pasture (Cynodon spp.), located in southern Brazil. Four areas were sampled: three areas cultivated with Cynodon spp. pasture with successive applications of 200 m 3 ha -1 y -1 of LSM for three, eight and 15 years; and untreated native forest as a reference. The soil attributes evaluated were: organic carbon (OC), active (pH water) and potential acidity (H + Al + 3 ), nutrient availability (i.e., P, K, Ca, Mg, Cu and Zn), soil bulk density, macro, micro and total porosity. Successive applications of LSM on pasture reduced soil active acidity, and increased the soil organic C and plant-available N, P, Ca, Mg, Cu and Zn contents. These effects were more intense with time and in the shallowest layers, i.e. 0-10 cm.Excessive increases in P, Cu and Zn in the soil should be carefully monitored to minimize the contamination risks to soil, ground and surface waters. Soil physical attribute changes were more associated with land use (pasture versus native forest) than LSM use, and LSM applications induced slight improvements in the soil structural quality over time.

“…Their application can also initially generate the immobilization of plant-available N (mainly in crop residues and soil microorganisms) during the microbial decomposition of the organic matter of the residue [9][10][11]. Nonetheless, there are also negative aspects associated with the application of solid pig manure, since it may increase the risk of copper and zinc soil pollution [2,12,13].…”

Dried Pig Manure from a Cogeneration Plant as a Fertilizer for Nitrate Vulnerable Zones

Nitrate vulnerable zones (NVZs) are areas considered to be at high risk of water pollution due to an excess of nitrates and, according to European regulations, codes of good agricultural practice are to be implemented by farmers, such as reducing doses of the applied fertilizers, or the use of fertilizers that minimize nitrate leaching. In this work, the influence of organic fertilization with dried pig manure (DPM) as compared to mineral fertilization with ammonium sulfate nitrate with 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate nitrification inhibitor was studied in a barley crop planted in a NVZ in Fompedraza (Valladolid, Spain). Organic and mineral fertilizers were applied at different rates (85, 133 and 170 kg N·ha −1 ·year −1 vs. 90 and 108 kg N·ha −1 ·year −1 , respectively) over a three-year period, in a randomized complete block design with six treatments and four blocks. DPM-based fertilization resulted in a 65% increase in crop yield as compared to the control soil, reaching 1800 kg·ha −1 for an application rate of 85 kg N·ha −1 ·year −1 . Higher DPM rates were found to increase the electrical conductivity and assimilable phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and organic matter contents, but did not lead to yield enhancements. Final nitrate and ammonium concentrations were lower than 10 mg·kg −1 and 20 mg·kg −1 , respectively, and no increase in soil salinity or heavy metal pollution was observed. DPM fertilization should be supplemented with small doses of inorganic fertilizers to obtain crop yields similar to those attained with mineral fertilization.

Trace elements like copper and zinc are supplemented in swine feeds to suppress bacteria and/or promote growth. Due to low absorption rates, trace elements are highly concentrated in swine feces, posing a risk to soil and human health if applied to agricultural fields. In the present study, the concentrations of six trace elements (Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb, and Cr) in pig feed and feces were evaluated by sample analysis and data from the literature. The feed‐to‐feces and feces‐to‐compost enrichment factors of the trace elements were determined to back‐calculate safe concentrations in feed needed to meet permissible trace element concentrations in organic fertilizers. The Cu and Zn concentrations in feeds were the highest, being statistically significantly higher in starter pig feeds than in grower–finisher feeds. Copper exceeded feed limits mainly in the feeds of finisher pigs and sows, while exceedance for Zn occurred in almost all feed samples. Concentrations above the limits were also observed for Pb and Cr impurities in mineral feed supplements. The highest Cu and Zn concentrations in feces were observed for starter pigs. Moreover, significant enrichment of trace elements from feeds to feces was found, with enrichment factors calculated as: 4.68–6.11 for Cu, 3.43–4.60 for Zn, 2.30–3.12 for As, 2.89–4.63 for Cd, 2.45–5.00 for Pb, and 3.32–5.00 for Cr. On this basis, the recommended calculated limits for Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb, and Cr in feeds for different ages of pigs were 41–53, 130–175, 2–3, 0.3–0.5, 5–10, and 15–23 mg/kg, respectively. Priority index calculations and the calculated recommended limits indicated that Cu in starter pig feeds and Cd in starter and breeding pig feeds should be prioritized for reduction to enable feces compost to be utilized safely in agricultural land amendment.
