Effects of residues of anti-infective agents in animal excretions on slurry treatment and the soil

Abstract

Application of antibiotics and feed additives in animal husbandry generates populations of resistant bacteria in the gut which are introduced via slurry into the ecosystem soil. Nevertheless the influence to the ecosystem soil seems to be low, due to inactivation and dilution in slurry and soil. The probability that this pathway contributes to the problems of antibiotic resistance in human medicine is low. Aerobic and anaerobic treatment of slurry is more or less influenced by residuals of some feed additives and antibiotics. The aerobic-thermophilic treatment seems generally to be more sensitive than the anaerobic biogas production, except in some special cases. No evidence could be found that residuals of antibiotics in slurry have a negative influence on the ecosystem soil, due to preliminary results obtained by similar field trials with disinfectants. The application of antibiotics in aquaculture must be regarded more critically.

Biofuels (ASM)

Biofuels are produced through contemporary processes from biomass rather than geological processes involved in fossil fuel formation. Examples include biodiesel, green diesel, biogas, etc. Discover the latest research on biofuels in this feed.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
