In this study, we evaluated the effects of including cassava wastewater in the diet on the feeding behavior of feedlot lambs in 35 male uncastrated Santa Inês × Dorper crossbred lambs at an approximate age of 3 months, with an average live weight of 20.0 ± 3.4 kg. Diets were formulated with hay of cassava shoots (roughage) and a concentrate based on corn and soybean, with a roughage:concentrate ratio of 50:50, plus inclusion of cassava wastewater at the levels of 0, 12, 24, 36, or 48 g/kg of the total diet. Feeding behavior was evaluated between the 46th and 52nd days of the experiment. Increasing cassava wastewater levels in the diet reduced (P < 0.05) the intakes (kg/day) of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber as well as the efficiency of rumination (g/cud and g/h) of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber. The other behavioral parameters were not affected by wastewater inclusion in the diet. Therefore, the inclusion of up to 48 g/kg of cassava wastewater on fresh matter of diets is not recommended for feedlot lambs.

Valorization of mixed blackwater/agricultural wastes for bioelectricity and biohydrogen production: A microbial treatment pathway.

The management of wastewater and agricultural wastes has been limited by the separate treatment processes, which exacerbate pollution and contribute to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. Given the energy demands and financial burdens of traditional treatment facilities, there is a pressing need for technologies that can concurrently treat solid waste and generate energy. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of producing bioelectricity and biohydrogen through the microbial treatment of blackwater and agricultural waste using a dual-chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC).

Article Synopsis
- Two nanomaterials, manganese dioxide (MnO) and iron oxide (FeO) nanoparticles, were created from cassava peel carbon to effectively remove heavy metals from wastewater.
- The adsorption process was tested under various conditions (temperature, concentration, pH, and contact time) primarily for cobalt (II) and chromium (VI), achieving high capacities of 546.32 mg/g for chromium and 349.59 mg/g for cobalt.
- A predictive Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model was developed to accurately simulate the adsorbed amounts of the metals, demonstrating strong optimization capabilities for both chromium (VI) and cobalt (II) removal.

Article Synopsis
- * The research found that CCS@FeO effectively adsorbed caffeic acid, gallic acid, and melanoidin, with varying capacities depending on the pigment, revealing the order of effectiveness as melanoidin > gallic acid > caffeic acid.
- * Quantum chemical calculations provided insights into the adsorption mechanisms, highlighting how the quaternary ammonium groups in CCS@FeO interact with specific parts of the pigments for effective removal.
