    Abstract:
    Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in livestock and poultry manure pose potential ecological risks. In order to understand the distribution characteristic of antibiotics and ARGs in manure and surrounding soils of poultry farms in Ningxia, the poultry manure and relative soil samples were collected from 12 layers of different poultry breeding farms. The compositions of antibiotics and ARGs in the samples were analyzed using UPLC-MS/MS and HT-qPCR. The results showed that:① tetracycline, aminoglycoside, and sulfonamide were the dominant antibiotics in poultry manure. The types and contents of antibiotics in poultry manure were different in different breeding periods. There were more types of antibiotics in the brooding period, the average content was high, and the initial stage showed the opposite trend. ② A small amount of antibiotics was detected in the surrounding soil only 20 m away from the poultry farm, and the poultry farm had little effect on the distribution of antibiotics in the surrounding soil. The content of quinolone in the soils with poultry manure application was significantly higher than that in the control and surrounding soil. ③ We detected 132-168 ARGs in poultry manure, and the number of aminoglycosides and tetracycline was higher. The relative abundance of ARGs in the rearing period was highest, and the initial stage showed the opposite trend. The total relative abundance of ARGs in the brooding period was highest, but the terminal period showed the opposite. There were 110 ARGs in poultry manure during all breeding periods. ④ There were 23-105 ARGs in the soils, and the number of aminoglycoside was highest, followed by multidrug ARGs. The poultry farm had a great effect on the number and relative abundance of ARGs in the surrounding soil. For example, the number and relative abundance of ARGs in the surrounding soil of poultry farms gradually decreased with the increase in the distance from the poultry farms. The number and relative abundance of ARGs in the soil with applied poultry manure were significantly increased; however, these values were lower than those in the soil 20 m away from the poultry farm. ⑤ β-lactamases, aminoglycosides, and macrolide lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB) ARGs were all at risk of horizontal movement in manure, and chloramphenicol ARGs were at risk of horizontal movement in soil. Correlation analysis showed that the relative abundance of aminoglycoside, tetracycline, sulfonamide, β-lactamase, and MLSB were not significantly correlated with their contents. ⑥ Different types of ARGs had related co-occurrence phenomena, such as the positive correlation between the relative abundance of ARGs in poultry manure, and aminoglycoside and β-lactamases, MGEs, multidrugs and vancomycins. The relative abundances of ARGs in soil, aminoglycoside and tetracyclines, vancomycins, sulfonamides, and MLSBs; tetracyclines and MLSBs; etc., all showed a significant positive correlation. In short, the co-occurrence among the relative abundance of ARGs in soil was significantly stronger than that in poultry manure. These results could provide the theoretical basis for the site selection of poultry farms, the selection of antibiotic types and dosages for large-scale breeding of laying hens, and the application of poultry manure.
