Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Antibiotics are used for the growth promotion and treating infections in livestock. Not all whole portion of antibiotics fed to animals is absorbed in their guts, and the unabsorbed these antibiotics present in their feces and products in trace quantities. During the anaerobic digestion of the animal waste, these antibiotics will affect the production of gas and quality of methane.
This research is focused on the comparison of the effect of antibiotics from three classes namely- macrolide, sulfonamide and tetracycline. Methane and carbon dioxide gases were analyzed from the captured gases. The gas quality was analyzed by using gas chromatography. …
