Comparative evaluation of composting and solarization techniques for mitigating antibiotic residues, and resistance genes in poultry manure

Key Points

• Antibiotic residues and resistance genes decreased significantly with solarization, indicating its effectiveness.
• Composting effectively mitigated antibiotic residues, with over a 70% reduction observed after 30 days.
• Assessment using comparative techniques demonstrated notable reductions in targeted contaminants in poultry manure.
• These findings highlight composting and solarization as viable strategies for managing poultry waste and reducing environmental contamination.
