This study determined a tylosin concentration in swine wastewater located in a Mexican pig farm, during different stages of the pigs' growth. The detection of antibiotics in swine wastewater is complex due to its high concentration of solids. Analytical method was developed for detection of tylosin in swine wastewater and swine slurry. Average recoveries of tylosin in the liquid and solid phase were greater than 51 and 44%, respectively, with a greater total recovery of 95%. The results indicated the presence of tylosin in swine wastewater and slurry at concentrations greater than the ones reported in the literature. In grab samples of swine wastewater, the tylosin detected showed concentrations of 56, 72 and 8.6 μg L(-1), in breeding-gestation, nursery pigs, and grow-finishing area, respectively. In composite samples, the concentration of tylosin was 11.8 μg L(-1) for the breeding-gestation area and 2.4 μg L(-1) for the grow-finishing area. For slurry, the concentration of tylosin was 20.6 and 17.8 μg L(-1), for the breeding-gestation and grow-finishing area, respectively. This study presents the detection of a high concentration of tylosin in breeding-gestation and nursery pigs. Traces of tylosin in wastewater from grow-finishing stage were found although the animals were not receiving antibiotics.

Industrial wastewaters are significant global concerns due to their environmental impact. Yet, protein-rich wastewaters can be valorized by enzymatic hydrolysis to release bioactive peptides. However, achieving selective molecular differentiation and eventually enhancing peptide bioactivities require costly cascades of membranes.

Comparative efficacy of anaerobic digestion systems in removing antimicrobial resistance genes from swine wastewater.

Electronic address:

Swine farm wastewater is a major reservoir of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). Anaerobic digestion (AD), widely implemented in farms, has been extensively studied for ARG removal. However, a comparative study on ARG removal efficiency across the four principal AD systems - up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB), continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), buried biogas digester (BBD), and septic tank (SPT) - is lacking.

Many technical aspects are associated with helminth egg isolation and enumeration that affect how efficiently eggs are recovered from samples. This study investigated Ascaris egg recoverability when samples were washed with or without pressure, and from different sample types (water, effluent, ventilated improved pit latrine [VIP], urine diversion dry toilet [UDDT], dried, fatty, and septic tank sludges, and soil) when processed with water, ammonium bicarbonate, and 7X®. We also looked at egg recovery after flotation with zinc sulfate, magnesium sulfate, and sodium nitrate at specific gravities of 1.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel biochar, La/Fe@RSBC, created from rice shells, was studied for its ability to adsorb tetracycline (TC) from water, achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of 414.84 mg/g, significantly higher than other variants.
  • The adsorption mechanisms for TC included hydrogen bonding, surface complexation, and electrostatic attraction, with the process being spontaneous and endothermic, influenced by factors like composition, pH, and temperature.
  • La/Fe@RSBC showed potential for real-world applications in treating swine wastewater, and its effectiveness could be enhanced through a combined advanced oxidation process to regenerate the biochar after initial use.
