Livestock Mortalities Burial Leachate Chemistry: The First Nine MonthsPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Paper number MBSK 06-303, ASABE/CSBE North Central Intersectional Meeting . (doi: 10.13031/2013.22378) @2006Authors: Dyan L Pratt, Terrance A Fonstad Keywords: Livestock mortalities, burial, livestock burial leachate chemistry, burial leachate, burial chemistry, swine decomposition chemistry, bovine decomposition chemistry, poultry decomposition chemistry, chicken burial, swine burial, bovine burial, hog burial, cattle burial, chicken burial A study was performed to determine the leachate chemistry from five livestock mortalities burial pits. Three species were used in this study, poultry, swine and bovine. Leachate chemistry was measured five times over a period of nine months. It was found that the chemical composition and concentrations of the leachate varies slightly by species but in general follows the same trend over the time period. Ammonium and bicarbonate are the major anions and cations respectively. Bovine leachate showed the highest values for ammonium and bicarbonate at 992 meq/L (3 months) and 875 meq/L (9 months) respectively. . (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
