“…The range of Cu concentrations in pig manure was 118.67 to 673.58 mg/kg, with an average of 418.42 mg/kg, whereas Zn concentrations ranged from 183.42 to 1126.25 mg/kg, with a mean value of 625.30 mg/kg (Table 1), in line with concentrations reported in literature (Nicholson et al 2003, Xiong et al 2010. Almost all of the samples exceeded the limits for Cu (100 mg/kg) and Zn (400 mg/kg), respectively, in reference to the limits of manure compost in Germany (Verdonck and Szmidt 1997), since no available standards for trace elements in organic manures exist in China, suggesting that the land application of pig manure would have a high risk of Cu and Zn pollution.…”

“…Until now, China has had no standards for the reasonable use of Cu and Zn 495 additives in concentrated animal production. As a result of this, Cu and Zn additives are commonly oversupplied in animal feeding stuffs in China (Li et al 2007, Xiong et al 2010). Hence, it was important to establish the regulations of the use of additives permitted in pig feed for reducing the Zn and Cu contents in pig manure.…”

Fertilization of crops with pig manure is a common practice throughout the world. Nevertheless, due to the relatively high copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) contents in pig manure, continuous application of pig manure could have negative effects on soil and plant. The study aimed at the impacts of long-term applying different pig manure rates (equivalently 0, 100, 250 and 500 kg total N/ha/year from 2002 to 2008 and 0, 10, 25 and 50 t fresh weight/ha/year from 2009 to 2011, respectively) on Cu and Zn accumulation in soil and plant. During the 10 years of the experiment, a total of 2.04 to 10.20 kg/ha/year for Cu, 3.15 to 15.73 kg/ha/year for Zn were applied to the soil. Results from this study showed that long-term pig manure application resulted in serious accumulation of Cu and Zn in soil, total Cu and Zn concentrations increased by 204% and 107% at high application rates, respectively. Although topsoil Cu and Zn concentrations were below concentrations considered phytotoxic to crops, according to current Chinese legislation, it would take only less time than 16 and 27 years of high application rates to reach the allowable limits. Our result also suggested that Cu and Zn leaching occurred in the tested soil. The Cu and Zn concentrations in stalks and grains were not affected by the application of pig manure, and these values were lower than the threshold values for animal and human ingestion.

“…While antibiotics is poorly absorbed in the digestive tract of animals, and 50-80% of them are excreted into environment as parent compounds (Sarmah et al, 2006). Heavy metals, which are mostly acute toxic to human and wildlife even in trace level, are widely used as a growth promoter in many animal feeds and in industrial, resulting in high concentrations in some animal wastes and wastewater (Xiong et al, 2010;Yang and Jiang, 2014). The application of animal wastes and wastewater has increased their concentrations in the aquatic environments.…”

Livestock pollution, caused by rural household's scatter breeding mainly, is one of the major non-point sources. Different animal manures are abundant with different nutrients. Adopting the policies, management practices, and technologies related to livestock production based on livestock structure analysis can improve the efficiency on preventing pollution. Based on statistical data, the component structure of livestock was analyzed and corresponding effect on pollution was evaluated during the period of 1992-2012 in China. The results showed that the average annual growth rate (AAGR) of total China was 1.58 % during the 20 years. Larger amounts of livestock were concentrated in Southwest China and East China. In the view of component structure, each type of livestock had different distribution characteristics and constant increasing amounts were presented during the 20 years. Cattle took the largest proportion in almost every province, and the number of heads was over 40 % of all the livestock quantity for most provinces. Pollution of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) caused by livestock excretion in East and Southeast China was much more serious than that in other regions. However, the load of COD was far less than that of TN and TP. Cattle accounted most for the livestock pollution, and swine was the second one. The intensity characteristics of TN, TP, and COD were different from that of total pollution loads. The spatio-temporal characteristics of amounts and component structure of livestock were influenced by three kinds of factors (natural, economic, and social), such as climate, topography, modes of production, feed grain sector, related policies, and area of the study regions. Different livestock excrements had different impacts on environment. According to various livestock structures and economy conditions, different disposal methods should be adopted.
