Poultry Wastes Effect on Water Quality of Shallow Wells of Farms in Two Locations of Kwara State, Nigeria
The study investigated poultry waste effect on water quality of shallow wells in Asa and Ilorin, south local government areas of Kwara State. The factors considered are the number of birds (N), years of existence of the farm (Y), and the distance between the shallow wells and the poultry dump sites...

| description | The study investigated poultry waste effect on water quality of shallow wells in Asa and Ilorin, south local government areas of Kwara State. The factors considered are the number of birds (N), years of existence of the farm (Y), and the distance between the shallow wells and the poultry dump sites (D). Physicochemical parameters of the water collected were analyzed. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS Software (Version 16.0). For the number of birds, the result shows that the mean turbidity, Chemical Oxygen Demand COD, and fecal coliform were between 23.25 -101.92 NTU, 85.22-111.56 mg.L-1, and 0.00-0.34 cfu.mL-1 respectively. For the year of existence of the farm, the mean turbidity, phosphate, COD were between 14.10-56.6 NTU, 1.07-2.30 mg.mL-1, 88.00-95.43 mg.mL-1 respectively. The mean turbidity was found to be between 11.81 NTU and 58.85 NTU, phosphate 1.09-2.06 mg.mL-1, COD 86.73-94.57 mg.mL-1, and fecal coliform 0.00-0.24 cfu.mL-1 for the distance between dumpsites and water source. The number of birds has a significant effect on turbidity, BOD, COD and fecal coliform at p ≤ 0.05 compared to the measured control 400 m away from the dumpsites. As a result, there is evidence of pollution risks from poultry wastes. Proper treatment and the placement of farms far away from dumpsites will assist maintain the water’s suitability and sustainability. |
