The objective of this study was to determine the depletion of tylosin (TYL), chlortetracycline (CTC), sulfamethazine (SMZ) and megestrol (MEG) using thermophilic anaerobic digestion (TAD).951.35 KBPDFenAll Rights Reservedanaerobic digestionbiogasdegradationwaste treatmentwaste minimisationDepletion of hormones and antimicrobials in cattle manure using thermophilic anaerobic digestionArticle Post-Printhttps://doi.org/10.1002/jctb.4823
