Postweaning is one of the most sensitive and energy-demanding phases of swine production. The objective of this research was to assess the energy, production and environmental characteristics of a conventional farm with temperature-based environmental control. The selected energy, environmental and production variables were measured on farm, in a h...
The aim of this paper is to determine whether training level affects the safe use of pesti-cides amongst pesticide applicators of Galician greenhouse farms (Spain). The rela-tionship between pesticide applicator training and safe use of pesticides was statisti-cally analyzed using non-parametric tests. Results did not reveal any relationship be-twe...
The influence of the type of farming on harmful gas exposures to carbon dioxide (CO(2)), ammonia (NH(3)) and hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) was assessed from the perspective of animal welfare and occupational hygiene. Summer data of H(2)S, NH(3) and CO(2) concentrations and of environmental parameters were collected from 31 farms. The indices of exposure...
In this study we investigated the potential usefulness of different substrates produced from gorse (Ulex europaeus L.) for propagating cuttings of Thuja plicata ‘Atrovirens’. The gorse was composted by different methods, to produce four types of compost. These composts were then used as such (100% compost) or in mixes with coarse sand and pine bark...
The use of composted forest gorse as a peat substitute, alone or as a growing medium component was investigated. Rooted cuttings of Thuja plicata 'Zebrina' were transplanted into 300 ml pots filled with different growing media based on composted gorse (100%, 50% or 25%) or Sphagnum light peat (100% or 25%). A controlled release fertilizer was appli...
The special characteristics of the agrarian sector, where many tasks are carried out using a wide variety of machinery, including from the most rudimentary to the most advanced, often combined with a low-skilled workers, the ignorance of the safety practices and the lack or improper use of protective equipment, make the risks to which workers are e...
