Abstract
The wide use of animal manure in farmland operations is a source of soil nutrients. However, the return of manure affected antibiotics and microplastics in the soil, thus the potential ecological risks cannot be overlooked. This study investigated the distribution of different antibiotics and microplastics and their correlation. It was found that multiple classes of veterinary antibiotics and microplastics could be detected simultaneously in most manure and soil. In manure, the average concentration of tetracycline antibiotics was higher than fluoroquinolones and sulfonamides. A much lower concentration of antibiotics was found in the soil samples relative to manure. The abundance of microplastics ranged from 21,333 to 88,333 n/kg in manure, and the average abundance was 50,583 ± 24,318 n/kg. The average abundance was 3056 ± 1746 n/kg in the soil. It confirmed that applying organic fertilizer to agricultural soil and the application of plastic mulch in farmlands introduced microplastics. Moreover, microplastics were found to be significantly correlated with antibiotics (r = 0.698, p < 0.001). The correlation between microplastics and antibiotics in soil was significantly weaker than that in manure. Farms could be the hotspot for the co-spread of microplastics and antibiotics. These findings highlighted the co-occurrence of antibiotics and microplastics in agricultural environments.

Abstract
Sulfonamide antibiotics, a family of broad-spectrum antibiotic drugs, are increasingly used in aquaculture and are frequently detected in aquatic environments. This poses a potential threat to organisms and may cause the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, it is important to develop an environmentally friendly and efficient biocatalyst to degrade sulfonamides (SAs) such as sulfadiazine (SD) and sulfathiazole (ST). Here, we realized the direct and efficient degradation of SD and ST using a hydrogen peroxide-dependent artificial catalytic system based on myoglobin (Mb). The arrangements of amino acids at positions 29, 43, 64, and 68 were found to influence catalytic activity. An L29H/H64D/V68I myoglobin mutant showed the best catalytic efficiency (i.e., kcat/Km = 720.42 M-1 s-1) against SD. Next, mutant H64D/V68I showed the best degradation rate against SD (i.e., 91.45 ± 0.16%). Moreover, L29H/H64D/V68I Mb was found to efficiently catalyze ST oxidation (kcat/Km = 670.08 M-1 s-1), while H64D/V68I had the best degradation rate against ST (i.e., 99.45 ± 0.23%). Our results demonstrate that SAs can be efficiently degraded by artificial peroxygenases constructed using a myoglobin scaffold. This therefore provides a simple and economical method for the biodegradation of SD and ST.

Persistence and potential risks of tetracyclines and their transformation products in two typical different animal manure composting treatments. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 341:122904.

Abstract
Abundant residues of tetracyclines in animal manures and manure-derived organic fertilizers can pose a substantial risk to environments. However, our knowledge on the residual levels and potential risk of tetracyclines and their transformation products (TPs) in manure and manure-derived organic fertilizers produced by different composting treatments is still limited. Herein, the occurrence and distribution of four veterinary tetracyclines (tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, and doxycycline) and ten of their TPs were investigated in paired samples of fresh manure and manure-derived organic fertilizers. Tetracyclines and TPs were frequently detected in manure and manure-derived organic fertilizer samples in ranging from 130 to 118,137 μg·kg-1 and 54.6 to 104,891 μg·kg-1, respectively. Notably, the TPs concentrations of tetracycline and chlortetracycline were comparable to those of the parent compounds, with 4-epimers being always dominant and retained antibacterial potency. Based on paired-sampling strategy, the removal efficiency of tetracyclines and TPs in thermophilic composting was higher than that in manure storage. Toxicological data in the soil environment and the data derived from equilibrium partitioning method, indicated that tetracyclines and some TPs like 4-epitetracycline, 4-epichlortetracycline and isochlortetracycline could pose median to high ecological risk to terrestrial organisms. Total concentrations of TPs in manure-derived organic fertilizers were significantly correlated with the absolute abundance of tet(X) family genes, which provide evidence to evaluate the effects of TPs on the levels of antibiotic resistance in the environment. Among them, the 4-epitetracycline could pose ecological risk and retain antibacterial potency. Our findings emphasize the importance of monitoring and controlling the prevalence of tetracyclines and their TPs in livestock-related environments.

Residues of veterinary antibiotics in manures from pig and chicken farms in a context of antimicrobial use reduction by implementation of health and welfare plans. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 238:117242. [PMID: 37769831 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
The use of antibiotics in food-producing animals can induce the presence of residual substances in manure, which are then released into the environment and may contribute to soil and groundwater contamination. During the on-farm implementation of strategies to improve animal health and welfare in chicken and pig farms, the consequences of antibiotic use were evaluated in terms of the occurrence and levels of antibiotic residues in manure. A set of 35 broiler farms from Cyprus, Greece, the Netherlands and 40 pig farms from France and Italy provided a total of 350 manure samples. The primary objective was to develop a specific LC/MS/MS method capable of quantifying antibiotic residues in both types of manure. The method was able to detect fifteen antibiotics belonging to nine classes, with validated limits of quantification of 10-20 μg/kg, and accuracies ranging from 81% to 138%. With the exception of amoxicillin, which was never detected in any manure, all antibiotics used were detected in manure from treated animals with typical concentrations ranging from 10 to 99198 μg/kg for both chickens and pigs. The occurrence of residual antibiotics was higher in chicken than in pig manure, especially for fluoroquinolones and doxycycline which were detected in 89% and 100% of the chicken manure, respectively, and in 28% of the pig manure. The impact of the health plans on the antibiotic load manure was assessed by measuring for each farm the ratio of the sum of all antibiotic concentrations measured after and before the implementation of the plan. The results showed that, in addition to the frequency of treatments, the class of antibiotic used is an important factor to consider as it strongly influences the stability/instability of the compounds, i.e. their ability to persist in the manure of food-producing animals.

Abstract
The concern over antibiotic pollution from animal husbandry has significantly increased over recent years. However, few studies on output and environmental risk of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) throughout different exposure matrices from small-scale livestock farms (SSLFs) have been explored. This study explored the output and environmental risk of three classes of VAs (sulfonamides (SAs), tetracyclines (TCs), fluoroquinolones (FQs)) in three different types of environmental media (manure, soil, and plants/vegetables) derived from four livestock feedlots in the Hexi Corridor of Northwest China. Following, a risk assessment was conducted to identify the hazardous potential of these VAs on the ecological health of the surrounding environment. A total of 108 soil, 36 manure, 12 plants/vegetables, and 15 animal product samples were collected from the animal feedlots for analysis. The results showed that each of the three groups of VAs were detected in the soil, manure and plant samples derived from all four feedlots in varying levels. In the soil samples, the detection rate of SAs (68%) was higher than the TCs (57%) and the FQs (27%). The total concentration of VAs ranged from not detected (n.d.) to 275 ng/g, while chlortetracycline (CTC) was the most abundant (275 ng/g) of the VAs in soil samples. The SAs had the highest detection rate (100%), followed by TCs (89%), and FQs (78%) in manure samples. The total concentration of VAs residues ranged from n. d. to 105 ng/g, of which CTC was as high as 91 ng/g in manures. In the plant/vegetable samples, the TCs had the highest detection rate (58%), while sulfamethazine (SDM) was the most abundant (32 ng/g). The total concentration of the VAs ranged from n. d. to 65 ng/g in the plant/vegetable samples. The target VAs were not detected in animal products. Measurements of the composition of VAs in soil samples at different vertical depths as well as horizontal distances from the manure accumulation sites showed that VAs were partially retained in the soil of the feedlots and were distributed into the surrounding environment both horizontally and vertically. It is suspected that the detected VAs could be accumulated in agricultural soils since they could be found in most of the sampled manures and soils in SSLFs. These results highlighted the necessity of considering SSLF practices to mange the accumulation and disposal of manure mitigating and controlling VA pollution.

Abstract
Livestock wastewater has been reused for agricultural irrigation to save water and fertilise the soil. However, micropollutants excreted by livestock animals may contaminate the soil and crops through livestock wastewater irrigation. This study employed high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) to facilitate broad-scope suspect screening of soil and vegetables and identify changes in micropollutant fingerprints caused by swine wastewater irrigation. Field trials were performed to simulate the practical cultivation of small leafy vegetables. Soil and pak choi were irrigated with groundwater, a reasonable amount of swine wastewater, and excessive swine wastewater (three times the reasonable amount) and were sampled at three time points. The samples were extracted using organic solvents and analysed with a liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight HRMS system. The molecular features were compared to over 3000 micropollutants in commercial libraries. The relative concentrations of suspect micropollutants among the irrigation groups were compared using multivariate and univariate analyses. The marker micropollutants that increased with swine wastewater irrigation were rigorously identified based on the MS/MS spectra. Fifty-three micropollutants were frequently found in the soil (n = 54) and 36 in the pak choi (n = 53). Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models revealed significant differences in the micropollutant fingerprints in the soil among the three irrigation groups, but not in the pak choi. Eight micropollutants with variable importance in projection scores above 1.0 in the PLS-DA model and significantly higher relative concentrations (p < 0.05) in the soil irrigated with swine wastewater were confirmed as markers. Besides veterinary drugs and their metabolites, cinnamic acid and phenylalanine were the markers relevant to swine feed that were not previously reported. Nevertheless, accumulations of micropollutants in the soil or contamination of the pak choi due to swine wastewater irrigation were not found under the trial conditions.

Abstract
Poultry farming is one of the most efficient animal husbandry methods and it provides nutritional security to a significant number of the world population. Using modern intensive farming techniques, global production has reached 133.4 mil. t in 2020, with a steady growth each year. Such intensive growth methods however lead to a significant environmental footprint. Waste materials such as poultry litter and manure can pose a serious threat to environmental and human health, and need to be managed properly. Poultry production and waste by-products are linked to NH3, N2O and CH4 emissions, and have an impact on global greenhouse gas emissions, as well as animal and human health. Litter and manure can contain pesticide residues, microorganisms, pathogens, pharmaceuticals (antibiotics), hormones, metals, macronutrients (at improper ratios) and other pollutants which can lead to air, soil and water contamination as well as formation of antimicrobial/multidrug resistant strains of pathogens. Dust emitted from intensive poultry production operations contains feather and skin fragments, faeces, feed particles, microorganisms and other pollutants, which can adversely impact poultry health as well as the health of farm workers and nearby inhabitants. Fastidious odours are another problem that can have an adverse impact on health and quality of life of workers and surrounding population. This study discusses the current knowledge on the impact of intensive poultry farming on environmental and human health, as well as taking a look at solutions for a sustainable future.

Abstract
Veterinary antibiotics are commonly used in poultry farming for preventing diseases and promoting growth. As a result of their incomplete metabolism in poultry birds, veterinary antibiotics are usually excreted and are frequently detected in poultry manures. Veterinary antibiotics in poultry manure applied onto soil may pose serious ecological effect to the terrestrial and aquatic environment. In the present work, the occurrence of three veterinary antibiotics (sulfamethoxazole, sulfadimidine and trimethoprim), categorized as veterinary antimicrobial agents of critical importance, was investigated in poultry manure from two poultry farms in Nigeria. The potential ecotoxicological risk of target veterinary antibiotics in poultry manure-amended soil was also assessed. A modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) extraction was adopted for the extraction of target veterinary antibiotics and instrumental analysis was achieved by high performance liquid chromatography. Sulfamethoxazole, sulfadimidine and trimethoprim were quantified in poultry manures from the poultry farms up to 12.7 μg g-1, 16.1 μg g-1 and 33.8 μg g-1, respectively. Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim in poultry manure-amended soil presented low risk to Eisenia fetida (earthworm). The ecological effect of sulfamethoxazole for the root length of rice was high in Farm B and medium in Farm A. Sulfamethoxazole presented high risk to aquatic organisms while sulfadimidine and trimethoprim posed medium risk and low risk, respectively to aquatic organisms. The results indicated that residual veterinary antibiotics in poultry manures could have adverse effects on crops after application to agricultural soil. There is a need for effective enlightenment programs for poultry farmers in Nigeria to bring about awareness on the environmental and toxicological impact of the excessive and uncontrolled use of veterinary antibiotics in poultry farming and the adverse ecological implications of poultry manure application on farmlands.

This study involved a scale survey to assess the levels and distributions of 54 antimicrobial residues, including 4 tetracyclines, 19 quinolones, 22 sulfonamides, 3 amphenicols, and 6 macrolides in mattress on 12 swine farms that use ectopic fermentation systems (EFS) in Zhejiang Province. A total of 25 antimicrobials were detected in mattress, and the total residue amount of antimicrobial in mattress samples of each farm was 0.77-28.2 g/T. Chlortetracycline had the highest contribution rate, and the residue amount of antimicrobial in mattress is not entirely determined by the start-up time of EFS but is related to the use of feed containing antimicrobial, medication habits, the level of mattress management, and maintenance methods of EFS. The risk assessments of antimicrobial in the mattress were carried out. The results show that the risk of using mattress of EFS for soil is low.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals of emerging concern (acetaminophen (ACM), trimethoprim (TMP), oxytetracycline (OTC), and sulfamethoxazole (SMX)) were detected in water samples from aquaculture environments and nonaquaculture sites in four regions located on the northern coast of Central Java. ACM was the most prevalent pharmaceutical, with a mean concentration ranging from not detected (n.d.) to 5.5 ± 1.9 ngL-1 (Brebes). Among the target antibiotics (TMP, OTC, SMX), OTC was the most ubiquitous, with a mean concentration varying from n.d. to 8.0 ± 3.3 ngL-1. Correlation analysis demonstrated that there was a significant correlation between TMP and SMX concentrations. Based on ecological risk assessment evaluation, the use of OTC requires serious consideration, as it presented high health risks to algae, while ACM, TMP, and SMX posed an insignificant to moderate risk to algae, invertebrates, and fish. The findings obtained from this study highlight OTC as an emerging contaminant of prominent concern. More attention needs to be given to managing and planning for the sustainable management of shrimp farms, particularly in the northern part of Central Java.

[PMID: 33681632 PMCID: PMC7931435 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c00126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Since traditional methods for removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from wood consume large amounts of energy and generate environmental pollution, it is desired to develop a convenient and green treatment method. Oxidation by microwave-activated persulfate (MW-PS) is a promising alternative method that has been used to eliminate VOCs from wood. The penetration of microwave energy can destroy the wood pit membranes and increase VOC emissions. The VOCs are further degraded by ·OH and SO4 •-, which are generated via the activation of microwaves. This phenomenon can be detected by the electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometry. The 35 types of main VOCs of natural wood were determined, including alkanes/terpenes, alcohols/ethers, esters, aldehydes/ketones, and others. In the MW-PS system, 23 compounds were removed with an efficiency of 100%. Specifically, as one of the major compounds, the content of alkanes/terpenes was sharply decreased, and no alcohols/ethers and esters were detected. It was found that the optimal conditions of the MW-PS system for the minimum release of VOCs from wood were the microwave power of 462 W, irradiation time of 30 min, and PS dosage of 0.5 mmol/L.

Kasimanickam V, Kasimanickam M, Kasimanickam R. Antibiotics Use in Food Animal Production: Escalation of Antimicrobial Resistance: Where Are We Now in Combating AMR? Med Sci (Basel) 2021; 9:14. [PMID: 33669981 PMCID: PMC7931007 DOI: 10.3390/medsci9010014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 02/19/2021] [Accepted: 02/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The use of antibiotics has been very beneficial to human health, animal wellbeing, and food production, however, there are no alternatives to antimicrobials in treating infectious diseases. Their use can contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance, but the world has realized the need to combat antimicrobial resistance in recent decades due to the continued escalation of the problem jeopardizing human and veterinary medicine and food and environmental safety. Understanding the AMR and judicious use of antimicrobials are critical, and one health approach involving several sectors and multiple disciplines is important to tackle the problem. National, regional, and global action plans have been instigated to tackle the escalation of AMR. Antimicrobials are frequently used in food animal production. Therefore, food animal producers are important participants to prevent overuse and misuse of antimicrobials. Recent regulations to address the challenges have not been perceived well in animal farming communities. More awareness regarding these action plans and understanding the impact of AMR are needed. A nationwide survey of perceptions of food animal producers regarding AMR mitigation approaches should be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the current policies regarding antibiotics use and AMR. These outcomes should be incorporated in future policies and awareness campaigns targeting food animal producers.
