Tracing heavy metals in ‘swine manure - maggot - chicken’ production chain

Abstract With the development of large-scale livestock farming, manure pollution has drawn much attention. Conversion by insects is a rapid and cost-effective new method for manure management. Swine manure conversion with maggots (Musca domestica larvae) has developed, and the harvested maggots are...
