Potential use of Tifton 85 cultivated in VFCW for animal feed

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional value of Tifton 85 grass (Cynodon dactylon (L) Pers) cultivated in a vertical flow constructed wetland (VFCW) system treating raw sewage. The VFCW operated according to the French system, but with only the first stage and two units in parallel, using a small footprint of 0.6 m2 per inhabitant. Wastewater feeding and resting periods were of seven days each. To evaluate the yield and nutritional value of the Tifton 85 cultivated, samples were collected … Show more

“…With regard to the health safety of using vegetation irrigated with wastewater in animal feed, there are several studies that show that the risk is low, especially if the application is interrupted for 2 weeks (Alves et al, 2017;Silva et al, 2016;Santos et al, 2016;2017). One of the studies shows that the health of animals fed with fertirrigated products was not affected and that most of the heavy metals remain in the roots (Lopes et al, 2020).…”
