- Abstract
The article presents a technical report on the veterinary antimicrobials present in feedlot manure and its effects during the composting processes. It mentions that the aims of the study are to monitor the dissipation of excreted residue of chlortetracycline, sulfamethazine and tylosin during composting of windrowed feedlot manure and investigate the effects of these antimicrobials on the composting process by monitoring temperature and carbon and nitrogen dynamics of the composting windrows. According to the article, chlortetracycline, sulfamethazine and tylosin are the major antimicrobial administered to feedlot cattle in North America. It also says that the study was conducted at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge.
