Measuring Ammonia Emissions from Animal Excreta

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The concentration of ammonia (NH3) was measured by collecting 300 g of excreta sample from the bottom tray of each replicate cage in a plastic zipper bag. The bags were placed in a plastic box with a lid having two holes. One hole was sealed with a membrane filter of pore size 1.0 µm (Advantec®, Toyo Roshi Kaisha Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), and another was used to measure the gas emission. The samples were allowed to ferment at room temperature, and gas emission was recorded using a Gastec gas-sampling pump (AP-20, Gastec Corp., Kitagawa, Japan) and a detector tube (3 LA, 3M for NH3) at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h. The NH3 concentration was expressed as ppm/100 mL.
The pH of feces was measured using a digital pH meter (Docu-pH meter, Sartorius, USA) after diluting 1 g of a fecal sample with 9 mL of distilled water.

The by-product of Punica granatum L. (PGB) (Goheunggun cultivar, Korea) was collected from a juice manufacturing company and included the peel, rind and seeds after juice extraction. The by-products were dried in a forced air drying oven (Doori TEC, Doori TEC, FA, Co., Ltd, Seoul, Korea) at 80°C for 3 days to reduce the moisture content to less than 10%, after which the dried by-products were ground into powder using a milling machine. The samples of PGB were subsequently analyzed in triplicate for crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), moisture and ash as described by Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC, 2000 ). Trace mineral contents were determined using an Atomic Absorption Flame Emission Spectrophotometer (Model AA-6200, Shimadzu, Japan). The pH of PGB was measured using a digital pH meter (Docu-pH + meter, Sartorius, USA). The concentration of total polyphenols, total flavonoids and hydrolysable tannin contents (quantified by colorimetric analysis) in PGB were analyzed by a commercial analytical company; the Foundation of Agricultural Technology Commercialization and Transfer (FACT, Suwon-si, Gyeonggido, Korea). The analytical results of chemical composition, trace mineral contents, pH, total polyphenols, total flavonoids and hydrolysable tannins in PGB are shown in Table 1.

pH-Dependent NMR Analysis of GB1 Protein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
13C-15N GB1 was dissolved in 100 mM KCl buffer in 90% H2O/10% D2O containing 100 μM DSS (used as internal reference) to a protein concentration of 1 mM. The pH was measured using a Docu-pH meter (Sartorius) calibrated with standard solutions. The initial pH was 6.50. For each pH step, the pH was adjusted with microliter additions of 0.15 M NaOH solution. The concentration of added salt amounted to less than 1 mM. Spectra were collected in steps of ~0.4 pH units from pH 6.5 to 8.0. Data were processed using Bruker TopSpinTM 4.0 and analyzed with CCPNMR53 (link) for cross-peak assignment and height extraction. Further details are available in the Supplementary Information, Supplementary Methods section.

Calcium Hydroxide Disinfection at Outdoor and Indoor Locations

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ca(OH)2 powder was used for stand-by disinfection at four outdoor locations (soil, grass, road, and in front of a barn, Supplementary Fig. 1). For stand-by disinfection, 0.5–1 kg/m2 Ca(OH)2 powder was spread, such that 1 kg of Ca(OH)2 powder for 1 m2 was spread at the four outdoor locations (Fig. 2a). To measure pH, 1 g of disinfectant was collected in a 15 mL plastic tube, 2.5 mL of distilled water was added, and the mixture was stirred. The suspension was left for 1 h, and the pH of the supernatant was measured by a pH meter (Docu-pH meter, Sartorius, New York, USA).
For the indoor experiment, a paper box was placed on artificial plastic grass (440–0011, Mizushima, Osaka, Japan), and 62.5 g of disinfectant was spread on the paper box (Fig. 2c). Water was sprayed daily (200 cm3/day) to match the annual precipitation in Hokkaido, Japan25 . This amount was determined as follows. Since average rainfall in Hokkaido from 1986 to 2015 was 114.8 cm/year (0.315 cm/day) and the size of the paper box was 25 × 25 cm, the daily watering rate was set to 25 × 25 × 0.32 cm = 200 cm3. Water (200 cm3) was applied once a day using a watering can. pH was measured in the same way as in the outdoor experiment.

The pH of the Longissimus dorsi muscle was measured using a digital pH meter (Docu-pH+ meter, Sartorius, Bohemia, NY, USA). The Longissimus dorsi muscle sample (4 g) was measured in a Falcon tube, after which deionized water (36 mL) was added, and then it was homogenized properly (30 s, 13,000 rpm, 25 °C) for mixing and filtered. Following homogenization and filtering, the pH value of the slurry was determined and recorded.

To determine the pH, approximately 5 g of Longissimus dorsi muscle (in triplicate) was cut into small pieces and homogenized with 45 mL distilled water for 60 s in an Ultra-Turrax (Janke and Kunkel, T25, Staufen Germany). Immediately after homogenization, the pH was measured using a digital pH meter (Docu-pH + meter, Sartorius, Columbus, OH, USA).
The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were evaluated (in triplicate) using the procedure described by Witte et al. [31 (link)]. Briefly, 5 g of meat samples were mixed with 25 mL of 20% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and homogenized for 30 s. Distilled water was added to prepare 50 mL of homogenate samples for centrifugation (3000× g, 4 °C, and 10 min). The supernatant was filtered through filter paper (Hyundai Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea). Then, 5 mL of the filtrate was kept at room temperature for 15 h, and the absorbance was determined using a UV/VIS spectrophotometer (M2e, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). The TBARS value is expressed as micromoles of MDA/kg of meat.

The pH, titratable acidity (TA) and soluble solid (SS) analyses were conducted as described by William (2005) (link). The pH was measured using a calibrated pH meter (Sartorius Docu-pH meter, Germany). The TA analysis was performed using the potentiometric titration method, and the results were obtained as tartaric acid equivalent (g/L). A portable refractometer (Hanna HI 96801, USA) was used to measure SS (°Bx).
The absorbance values of the samples were measured using a spectrophotometer (Thermo scientific, Multiskango, Finland) at 420, 520 and 620 nm, and the color intensity (CI) values were calculated using the formula below (1). CI=A420+A520+A620
(1) The turbidity values of the samples were measured using a portable turbidimeter (Hach 2100Q Portable Turbidimeter, China), and the results were expressed in the nephelometric turbidity unit (NTU)

Chromatographic separation was completed using Agilent 1220 Infinity LC system, equipped with EZ-chrome software and a photodiode array detector. Separation was accomplished with a Phenomenex Prodigy C18 column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) at 40°C with a mobile phase comprising of water (solvent A) and methanol (solvent B) both contain 0.1% formic acid and pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min in a gradient manner. The gradient program started with A:B (40:60, v/v) held for 1 min, changed to A:B (10:90, v/v) over 9 min, and held for 5 min. Then it was returned to initial conditions A:B (40:60, v/v) over 1 min and held for 9 min for a total run time of 25 min. Detection wavelength is 270 nm and an injection volume of 10 μL. A Docu pH-meter (Sartorius, Bohemia, NY) was used for adjusting the pH. Milli-Q water was obtained by a Milli-Q Ultrapure water system (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
