The study investigates the effects of composting sheep manure with corn straw (CM) and sheep manure with apple tree branches (AM) on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and microbial communities. The results indicate that AM treatment enables the compost pile to reach the high-temperature phase more quickly. The total phosphorus and total potassium content in AM treatment compost increased compared to the initial stage of composting, while CM treatment effectively enhanced the total nitrogen and total phosphorus content, and CM treatment compost was more conducive to reducing the compost's electrical conductivity.

- Aerobic composting helps dispose of livestock manure but can release bad-smelling gases that harm health and the environment.
- This study tested using a special filter and a carbon-based agent to improve composting chicken manure, making it heat up faster and better for the environment.
- The results showed that these additions helped keep essential nutrients like nitrogen in the compost and reduced bad smells by a lot, while also changing the bacteria in the compost for the better.
The impact of biochars with large particle sizes (LPB, 5-10 mm) and small particle sizes (SPB, <0.074 mm) on fates of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during composting of swine manure with maize straw was explored. The results showed that antibiotics removal efficiencies were 40 %, 50 %, and 76 % for control treatment, control with LPB treatment, and control with SPB treatment after composting, respectively.

The effect of biochar on the variations in physicochemical properties, bacterial communities, antibiotics, ARGs, and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) of compost product during co-composting of pig manure and corn straw have been investigated in this study. Compared with the control treatment (CK), biochar addition accelerated the increase in pile temperature and prolonged the high temperature period (>55°C) for 2 days.
