Title : Comparative assessment of poultry dropping and dairy waste on physico-chemical parameters of water

Abstract :

The present experiment was designed to investigate the effect of poultry dropping and dairy waste on physico-chemical parameters including water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and alkalinity. Water samples from three treatment ponds-poultry dropping-treated, dairy waste-treated, and control (no manure) were analysed for a period of seven months. The maximum water temperature of 30.03±1.890C was recorded in poultry dropping treated pond, whereas pH 7.78±.104 and alkalinity 89.85±5.50 was maximum in dairy waste treated pond while control (no manure) pond with 6.44±.84 has maximum level of dissolved oxygen. The analysis of data revealed that while appropriate levels of waste input enhanced nutrient availability for fish production, excessive application led to significant deterioration of water quality, characterized by decreased Dissolved Oxygen, elevated nutrient concentrations. The study underscores the need for optimized application of organic manure to sustain aquaculture while minimizing environmental risks.
