Findings reported by researchers at Illinois State University and Purdue University indicated that since 1980, an average of eight individuals per year have become engulfed and died in farm grain bins in the U.S. and Canada and that all these deaths are significant because they are believed to be preventable. During a recent effort to develop intervention strategies and recommendations for an ASAE farm grain bin safety standard, fault tree analysis (FTA) was utilized to identify contributing factors to engulfments in grain stored in on-farm grain bins. FTA diagrams provided a spatial perspective of the circumstances that occurred prior to engulfment incidents, a perspective never before presented in other hazard analyses. The FTA also demonstrated relationships and interrelationships of the contributing factors. FTA is a useful tool that should be applied more often in agricultural incident investigations to assist in the more complete understanding of the problem studied. 相似文献

Rice (Oryza sativa L., ‘Cypress’) quality is highly dependent on its handling; hence, new storage treatments must be analyzed for their impact on rice quality. Rough rice from the 2000 season was harvested, dried, and stored in six farm‐scale bins. Three of the bins were aerated with a thermostatically activated controller, and three were aerated under traditional methods. Rice was sampled periodically over 12 weeks, and quality parameters were analyzed. The effects of bin sample position (spatial), bin sample depth, aeration treatment, and storage duration were investigated for their impact on rice quality factors: moisture content, head rice yield, pasting properties, and water absorption. For both aeration treatments at most sampling durations, rice sampled from the center of the bins had significantly lower head rice yield than that sampled from the north and south areas. Overall, moisture contents were not significantly affected by sampling position, although, in some specific sampling time and aeration treatment combinations, significant variation was noticed for moisture content as a function of sampling position. Sample depth within the bin did not cause any changes in the values of the rice properties. Throughout the storage duration, the physicochemical properties of the rice treated with controlled aeration were consistent with the trends of the rice treated with manual aeration. Storage duration significantly influenced (P < 0.05) water absorption, peak viscosity, head rice yield (HRY), and moisture content, with all but moisture content increasing over the storage duration. In contrast, the moisture content of the grain slightly decreased over the storage period. 相似文献

Entrapment in flowable agricultural material continues to be a relevant problem facing both farmers and employees of commercial grain storage and handling operations. While considerable work has been done previously on the causes of entrapment in grain and possible preventative measures, there is little research on the efficacy of current first response or extrication techniques. With the recent introduction of new grain rescue equipment and training programs, it was determined that the need exists to document and summarize prior grain rescue strategies with a view to develop evidence-based recommendations that would enhance the efficacy of the techniques used and reduce the risks to both victims and first responders. Utilizing the Purdue University Agricultural Entrapment Database, all data were queried for information related to extrication of victims from grain entrapments documented over the period 1964-2006. Also analyzed were data from other sources, including public records related to entrapments and information from onsite investigations. Significant findings of this study include the following: (1) between 1964 and 2006, the number of entrapments averaged 16 per year, with the frequency increasing over the last decade; (2) of all cases documented, about 45% resulted in fatality; (3) no less than 44% of entrapments occurred in shelled corn; (4) fatality was the result in 82% of cases where victims were submerged beneath the grain surface, while fatality occurred in 10% of cases where victims were only partially engulfed; (5) the majority of rescues were reported to have been conducted by untrained personnel who were at the scene at the time of entrapment; and (6) in those cases where the rescue strategies were known, 56% involved cutting or punching holes in the side walls of the storage structure, 19% involved utilizing onsite fabricated grain retaining walls to extricate partially entrapped victims, and the use of grain vacuum machines as a rescue strategy was on the increase. Among the recommendations growing out of the study are these: (1) conduct further tests on the efficacy of grain rescue strategies, including the use of recently introduced grain rescue tubes and grain vacuum machines; (2) incorporate the findings into future first responder training programs; and (3) enhance the first response skills of personnel working at grain storage facilities, both on-farm and at commercial operations. 相似文献

Abstract Studies were carried out on the growth of mould and the production of mycotoxins in grain during drying and storage. Various amounts of forced ambient air, 800, 600, 400, 200 and 0 m3 (air)/(hour ton), were used to dry wheat, which contained 32% moisture at harvest. Samples for mycological examination and determination of mycotoxins and moisture content were taken weekly. At harvest the mould flora consisted of various field fungi with less than 10% Fusarium spp. An increasing proportion of Aspergillius and Penicillium spp. were recorded in the bins at 0 and 200 m3 (air)/h t. The mycotoxin analysis indicated that the Fusarium spp. were also metabolically active until at least five weeks after the grain was put into the store room. The concentration of deoxynivalenol (DON) reached about 10 mg/kg after three weeks in the bins with no air flow, and about 2 mg/kg in the bins at 200 m3 (air)/h t. The zearalenone concentration also increased considerably, to about 5 mg/kg, in the bins with no air flow. The present results show that drying of grains using forced ambient air may produce good conditions for growth of field fungi as well as storage fungi if the flow of air is too low. 相似文献

Government regulatory agencies recommend nutrient management plans (NMPs) for animal operations to reduce non-point source pollution. These plans require manure analysis for total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP), and use indices to determine nutrient availability. This study evaluated a rapid on-farm method to predict TN and TP concentrations of swine slurries. A field investigation based on this rapid assessment procedure was used to evaluate the effect of a NMP on corn yield and soil fertility. Manure grab samples were collected to validate the rapid on-farm model for predicting TN and TP. A corn crop was raised on two phosphorus (P) soil test levels (medium and excessive) using three randomized complete blocks with two replications of three treatments. Rapid on-farm models were accurate (P ≤ 0.05) for predicting manure TN and TP. The rapid model manure application rate produced grain yields that were significantly higher than inorganic-N fertilization treatments (13,000 kg ha?1 versus 9,000 kg ha?1) (P ≤ 0.05). Potassium chloride extractable soil P and ammonium were not significantly different (P ≥ 0.05) in manure treatments compared with the inorganic-N treatment. Analysis of ear leaf N, P, and K and grain yields demonstrated that the rapid model manure application developed by a NMP met crop requirements. 相似文献

Four hundred and twenty-seven landraces belonging to different plant species (forages, cereals, pulses, garden crops and fruit trees) were found on-farm in central Italy during exploration and collecting missions carried out since 1981. Open field crops are mostly grown under modern agricultural techniques by relatively young farmers on quite large farms for Italian standards. Garden crops are mostly grown by elderly farmers, running small farms or home gardens and using traditional farming systems which include the use of mechanical tools for soil preparation and occasionally the use of chemical fertilisers. There is no unique situation in on-farm conservation and management in the investigated area: the main factors involved appear to be a fragmented habitat and the presence of relatively elderly farmers. Most landraces are directly used by farmers' families, but a part is sold at local and wider markets. The main reasons why these landraces have been maintained on-farm are: their resistance/good productivity under difficult or harsh climatic conditions, traditional reasons or organoleptic peculiarities, which make them highly valued and expensive on the local and city markets and/or simply because they are appreciated by the families. Three example cases of effective on-farm conservation are presented. Social problems seem to be the main cause of genetic erosion. Perspectives and constraints to on-farm conservation and management are briefly discussed. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Evaluation of the relationships between nutritional patterns and farms’ age with the behavior of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) daughter corms based on farmers’ management (on-farm) can be crucial in improving saffron sustainable yield. Furthermore, in commercial saffron production, especially in small farms, the purchased water and fertilizers are the basis of sustainable saffron profitability, hence, recognizing the relationships between economic water use efficiency (EWUE) and economic fertilizer use efficiency (EFUE) can be important. An on-farm experiment was conducted on a large scale based on farmers’ management in Torbat Heydarieh, Iran. The farms’ age (1–6 years old) and fertilizers management approaches (organic, mineral and integrated) were considered as the first and second factors, respectively. Large-sized daughter corms number and weight and corms N and P content increased with increasing farms’ age from 1 to 4 years old. However, these parameters decreased with increasing farms’ age from 4 to 6 years old. Irrespective of saffron farms’ age, the minimum large-sized daughter corms number and weight were observed when mineral fertilizer management was practiced. By contrast, the maximum values were related to integrated fertilizer management. In each type of fertilizer management, EWUE and EFUE (based on large-sized daughter corms monetary value) increased with increasing farms age from 1 to 4 years. However, increase in farms age from 4 to 6 years caused a significant reduction in mentioned indices. Overall, if high-quality saffron corm production is needed, corms should be harvested in the fourth year to gain the maximum yield and profit. 相似文献

Major complaints, nuisance suits, and vandalism threaten the ability of farms in suburbanizing areas to survive as development occurs around them. This is a particular concern in one county in southeastern Pennsylvania, an area of rapid population growth but also the nation's most productive mushroom producing area. This study examines mushroom growers' indications that on-farm composting is a major source of complaints from nonfarming neighbors. The study found that the size of the farm and the number of homes nearby were significantly more important factors than composting in explaining which mushroom farms receive complaints. 相似文献

哺乳母猪自动饲喂机电控制系统的优化设计及试验 总被引：2，自引：4，他引：2
随着中国规模化、集约化种猪场数字化智能饲喂需求的快速增加,为解决哺乳母猪少吃多餐且随哺乳日龄变化采食量动态增加的饲喂控制需求,该研究以哺乳母猪为试验对象,将机电系统、无线网络技术、Android技术、SQL Lite网络数据库、电子数据交换与哺乳母猪的营养供给模型集成起来,设计了一种哺乳母猪自动饲喂控制智能系统。研究结果表明,组成一个哺乳母猪智能系统的主要部件包括供料线、缓冲料仓、料位控制筒、料位调控杆、下料控制线管、螺旋输送机、中央控制箱、下料触发器、料槽及下料管道等,而且通过在系统的微处理器内存预设的采食量模型与雨刷电机精确旋转的电子控制技术相结合,实现了对预设饲喂量的准确投料;还通过储料仓的料位控制机构及设置的人工观察孔,可控制缓冲料仓的合理贮料量,尤其对泌乳早期(0~10 d)母猪的存贮料量最佳为大约10 d单头母猪的理论采食量,以保持日粮的新鲜度及减少结拱;预设的采食量的动态投料控制量基本符合哺乳母猪实际采食变化规律,且实际采食量的变化轨迹收敛于对数曲线。基于智能自动饲喂系统中采食量模型计算出不同泌乳日期的预测采食量,按4次/d的饲喂频率及变化的投料比例(30%,25%,25%及20%)进行定时与定量投喂,与人工饲喂对比,能显著促进哺乳仔猪采食量的增加(P0.05),以及极显著提高哺乳仔猪的平均体质量日增加量(P0.01)。此外,考虑安装、清理料槽及母猪采食的方便性,建议母猪饲喂器的触发器安装高度大约为10 cm。总之,该文设计的哺乳母猪电子自动饲喂系统无需传感器及电子标识技术的应用,适合在中国中、小型的种猪繁育场的哺乳舍推广应用,且系统设备及相应的软件系统的部署方便。进一步指出,母猪自动饲喂器除需要验证哺乳母猪的采食特性及哺乳的仔猪的断奶性能外,在未来还需要观察母猪的返情率甚至断奶商品猪的成活率等指标,从整个母猪的利用年限评价智能饲喂设备的优劣。 相似文献

Temperature and moisture content are the two main factors that affect grain storage without aeration. A two-dimensional, finite difference model was developed to predict temperature and moisture content of rough rice stored in a cylindrical bin subjected to variations in ambient air temperature variation. Mass transfer is considered to affect heat transfer model and also mass and heat transfer are linked by the moisture content dependent thermo-physical properties of rough rice. Model validation was made by comparing predicted with experimental measured temperature data at different points of a pilot silo. The proposed model can be used to optimise the design and operation of rough rice storage systems. 相似文献

Data from the Vital Statistics Mortality (VSM) public use file and the National Traumatic Occupational Fatalities (NTOF) surveillance systems were used to describe fatal injuries among youth 16-19 years of age in the United States that occurred on farms for the years 1982 through 1994. The VSM captures all deaths in the United States, while the NTOF only captures occupational injury deaths. There were 550 total on-farm fatalities to youth 16-19 years of age in the VSM, and 221 occupational on-farm deaths from the NTOF for the same age group. These numbers suggest that 40% of the on-farm deaths were occupational. It was found that the proportions of deaths attributable to work increased with age. Fatality rates for on-farm nonoccupational deaths decreased slightly during the time period (from 8.4 deaths/100,000 for 1982-1985 to 6.8 deaths/100,000 for 1991-1994), while on-farm occupational fatality rates dropped dramatically (12.0 deaths/100,000 for 1982-1985 down to 4.9 deaths/100,000 for 1991-1994). The leading causes of death for on-farm occupational fatalities were machinery (54%) and electrical current (20%). The most common causes of on-farm fatalities that were nonoccupational were drowning (38.9%) and firearms (28.6%). For the years 1991 through 1994, drowning and firearms accounted for approximately the same number of on-farm deaths as machinery. Nonoccupational risks are a concern for youth 16-19 years of age on the farm. 相似文献

A brief survey of potential pathways of herbicide transport in flowing waters is given. For a small watershed in Hesse (central Germany) during 4 spraying periods (spring and autumn 1995 and 1996) all point and non-point sources were measured. It was proved that faulty spray practice occurred in 60% of 260 applications. However this source caused no evident herbicide contamination in running waters. More than 90% of the total herbicide load has been detected as point sources originating from the 40 farms connected to a sewage plant. Compared to these point sources, the pesticide pollution originating from runoff and subsurface drainage was not significant. An example is given describing how advisory measures in pesticide handling can reduce the loads by 80%. 相似文献

The objectives of this research were to characterize dry matter loss of hybrid long‐grain rough rice during storage under reduced‐oxygen conditions and develop a new approach to predict the dry matter loss by using storage temperature and relative humidity data as input. Two long‐grain hybrid rice cultivars, CL XL745 and XL760, harvested in the year 2015 were stored in rough‐rice form in sealed glass jars at moisture contents of 12.5, 16, 19, and 21%, (wet basis) and temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 27, and 40°C for a total of 16 weeks, with samples taken at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16 weeks of storage. Results revealed no differences in dry matter loss connected with the rough‐rice moisture content levels and temperature during the storage duration. However, the dry matter loss was statistically different based on rough‐rice cultivar. Experimental data were fitted to a dry matter loss equation for long‐grain rice found in literature. The dry matter loss equation developed for conditions of grain storage without oxygen limitation did not accurately predict rough‐rice dry matter loss under reduced‐oxygen conditions. Equation constants generated for reduced‐oxygen storage conditions were significantly lower than the typical constants used for long‐grain rice in literature. Hence, integration of rice cultivar and storage conditions such as oxygen supply is crucial for accurate determination of kinetics of dry matter loss during storage of hybrid long‐grain rough rice. 相似文献

This article examines the magnitude and characteristics of fall-related injuries on U.S. farms for youth less than 20 years old for work and non-work exposures at a national level. To examine the problem, data from the Childhood Agricultural Injury Survey (CAIS) and Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) were used. Findings indicate that falls are an important contributor to on-farm injuries, with youth appearing to be at considerable risk. Thus, a reduction of the exposure of youth to fall-related hazards on farms is needed. Strategies such as providing safe play areas for young children and continuing efforts to prevent extra riders on farm equipment will help in reducing these hazardous fall exposures. 相似文献

粮仓中粮堆在装卸时存在着复杂的应力路径,为了得出复杂应力路径对粮堆模量和临界状态特性的影响规律,以及粮堆应力应变关系模型,该文在侧向应力50~300 k Pa下,进行了常规三轴压缩(conventional triaxial compression,CTC)、等p压缩(constant mean normal stress compression,CMS)、三轴主动压缩(reduced triaxial compression,RTC)三轴应力路径试验,分析了应力路径和侧向压力对模量的影响和粮堆临界状态特性;修正岩土体三次曲线模型,建立了适于描述仓内小麦粮堆应力应变的模型,并通过应力路径试验结果和文献试验结果对模型的适用性进行验证。研究结果表明:各应力路径下初始模量、割线模量E50均随着侧向应力呈幂函数增长;CTC、CMS试验的割线模量E50比初始模量发生较大的降低,而RTC试验没有明显降低。在参考压力(大气压力)下,对于初始模量,CTC试验的结果最大,RTC试验的结果最小;对于割线模量E50,CTC试验的结果最小,RTC试验的结果最大。CTC试验的初始模量、割线模量均随着侧向应力增长最慢,而RTC试验的结果均随着侧向应力增长最快。不同应力路径和侧向应力下,试验的破坏点均落于同一临界状态线上,小麦粮堆临界状态应力比为0.976。修正三次曲线模型反映了粮堆强度、峰度系数和峰值应变等特性,并通过8个参数进行计算;通过应力路径试验结果和文献试验结果对该模型进行了验证。研究结果可为粮仓装卸料压力、变形的计算提供更符合实际应力路径条件的参量,建立的修正三次曲线模型可用于粮堆应力和变形的数值模拟,为粮仓的设计提供参考。 相似文献
