The use of antibiotic pharmaceuticals in chicken husbandry has risen steadily over time. Antibiotic residues meat poses risks to human health addition their contribution the advancement resistance. Despite increased antibiotics farming Kenya, assessments and exposure have not been conducted. In this study, sulfonamides (SAs); sulfapyridine (SPD), sulfadiazine (SDZ) sulfamethazine (SMZ) β-lactams (βLs); ampicillin (AMP), penicillin G (PEG) amoxicillin (AMX) were determined three types;...

The plant extracts of T. brownii and Acanthaceae spp. have been used as biocatalysts by several communities in Kenya to hasten anaerobic digestion. This study aimed at assessing the viability these two hastening availability nutrients from bioslurry ambient conditions. A controlled research design was followed using uncooked kitchen waste substrate for 28 retention days. Changes physicochemical properties available were monitored every 7 days wet chemistry spectroscopic methods. findings...

Currently, water quality assessment has become a necessity in order to maintain healthy living. Point and non-point sources of pollutants are either organic or inorganic nature. Non-volatile compounds (nVOCs) mostly exist as solids at room temperature used on large scale most chemical industries. Since these nVOCs toxic both animals humans some non-volatile carcinogenic, it is important analyze the ascertain its by identifying which types present systems quantifying them. This work reports...

Radicalization in waste-to-energy systems are on the rise to meet human energy demands. Biogas generation from kitchen wastes is one such scheme, though affected by poor yields and methane levels at low temperatures. In this research, biocatalytic extracts with fermentative properties were hereby assessed their potential fasten these processes increase biogas yield ambient The variations waste substrate anaerobic parameters elemental composition as well monitored a 28-day retention period....

Common organic composite fertilizers lack several bio-chemical and physical traits desirable in other fertilizers. This study aimed at investigating the role of Bomet red rock, BRR powder improving green from Tithonia diversifolia leaves Musa acuminata stalks. The fertilizer without was prepared by mixing crude extracts two plants before addition (10% wt.) with were analyzed for physical–chemicals, functional groups, surface, morphology, particle size, crystallinity chemical composition....
