Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Hydroponic System for Purification of Anaerobically Treated Dairy Manure and Production of Wheat as a Nutritional Forage CropA. E. Ghaly, H.A. Farag, M. VermaA hydroponic system was developed and used for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops. The effect of light duration, seeding rate and wastewater application rate on the crop yield and pollution potential reduction were studied. The results indicated that a wheat forage crop can be produced in 21 days from germination to harvest in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,075 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProduction and Quality in Dwarf Napier Grass Pasture Fertilized by Digested Effluent of Manure under Two-Years of Dairy Cow-Grazing in Warm Regions of JapanHadijah Hasyim, Ahmad Wadi, Yasuyuki Ishii et al.Dwarf Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) pasture is suitable for beef cow grazing in warm regions of Japan, while it is not assessed for the suitability by a herd of dairy cows in the region. This study was conducted to determine the effects of Digested Effluent (DE) application on herbage yield and quality, Herbage Consumption (HC) and Dry Matter Intake (DMI) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 21 May 2016 · 8,853 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Diurnally Cyclic Temperature on the Performance of a Continuous Mix Anaerobic DigesterAbdel E. Ghaly, Mariam T. Al HattabProblem statement: Concentrated livestock production is a major contributor to environmental problems through the production of large quantity of husks on relatively small land area. Anaerobic digestion represents a valuable means of cover by these husks into methane while reducing manure pollution problems. Methodology: An experimental apparatus, including data acquisition and control system, was developed and used to investigate the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 19 Jan 2012 · 9,226 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKINETIC MODELLING OF CONTINUOUS-MIX ANAEROBIC REACTORS OPERATING UNDER DIURNALLY CYCLIC TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTE. A. Echiegu, A. E. GhalyA two-culture dynamic model which incorporated the effects of diurnally cyclic temperature was developed and used to predict the dynamic response of anaerobic reactors operated on dairy manure under two diurnally cyclic temperature ranges of 20-40°C and 15-25°C which represent the summer and winter in Nigeria. The digesters were operated at various hydraulic retention times and solid concentrations and some … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 29 Aug 2014 · 7,290 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Escherichia coli with the Prevalence of Flies PopulationHassan Flayiah Hassan, Marryam AlkafagiMass releases of house fly Musca domestica (L) and stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans (L). Produced by manure piles accumulated nearby horse stables and dairy farm village in Abu-Graib provide continuous threat to inhabitants west of Baghdad. Timing of fly’s mass release in association with the presence of Escherichia coli in manure piles was examined at these locations. Experimental result indicated … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2013 · 7,200 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Innovative Farm Scale Biogas/Composting Facility for a Sustainable Medium Size Dairy FarmA.E. Ghaly, M. Al HattabApproach: The amount of energy related costs as a portion of the total farm operating cost can be as high as 29% and the continuing increase of the real cost of energy related farm input has been one of the major factors impacting the cost of agricultural production. However, agricultural has the potential of replacing some of the purchased energy … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 5 Jan 2012 · 9,320 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoremediation of Anaerobic Digester Effluent for Water Purification and Production of Animal FeedA. E. Ghaly, H.A. FaragThe application of phytoremediation for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops was investigated. Four crops (two cereals and two grasses) were examined for their ability to grow hydroponically and to remove pollutants (nutrients) from dairy wastewater. The preliminary experiments showed that timothygrass and orchardgrass did not perform well as aquatic plants. Only 24 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,201 accessesView PDF Cite
