"Daphnia magna" - bio-indicator of pollution from fowl and pig abbatoir effluents

Abstract

Current research investigates the use of Daphnia magna in foreseeing environmental risks from fowl and pig abattoir water effluents during the rainy and dry seasons. Three effluents from fowl abattoirs and two effluents from pig abattoirs had a potential impact on treated industrial effluents discharged in Class II and III water bodies.
