A Portfolio Theory-Based Optimal Hedging Technique With an Application to A Commercial Cattle Feedlot
This dissertation treats the optimal hedging problem as a special case of the general portfolio problem. The hedger, who holds some cash position, wants to find the futures position which reduces the risk of the entire portfolio to some level consistent with his risk-return preferences.

Cattle feedlot dust: Solubility in lung simulant fluid and stimulation of cytokine release from lung epithelial cells
Beef cattle feed lots produce significant, local point source pollution of the atmosphere. The dusts generated in the CAFOs are complex mixture of fine and ultra fine particles, organic compounds, transition metals, and adsorbed toxic gases. Since each component is toxic in itself, we do not fully …

Applying water footprint assessment with the aim of achieving sustainable water resource management at a large commercial beef cattle feedlot in Gauteng Province
… is more credible because it allows a beef cattle feedlot enterprise to evaluate freshwater impacts across the production value chain and will enable a feedlot to transition towards a sustainable value chain water resources management model The Water Footprint of food, goods and services is …

Particulate matter emissions from commercial beef cattle feedlots in Kansas
Large cattle feedlots in Kansas are often considered to be large sources of particulate matter (PM), including PM with equivalent aerodynamic diameter of 10 micrometers or less (PM[subscript]10). To control PM emissions from cattle feedlots, water sprinkler systems can be implemented; however, …

New applications of STEPL watershed modeling of CAFO feedlot runoff and implications of surface water impacts
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) cattle feedlot runoff is hydrologically modeled using the Spreadsheet Tool for Estimating Pollutants Load (STEPL). STEPL estimates the annual nutrient load of nitrogen and phosphorus, among other pollutants, by land use for a watershed. The Dry Creek …

Mass, Composition, Source Identification and Impact Assessment for Fine and Coarse Atmospheric Particles in the Desert Southwest
… native soil, agricultural soil, road dust, and cattle feed lot material was collected, resuspended in the laboratory, and analyzed to provide a chemical source profile for each soil type yielding insights into unique source signatures. Observations within the chemical speciation data and …

Survival and growth of fish in water reclaimed from cattle feedlots
… system to treat the effluent from a 1000-head cattle feedlot at the Texas Tech Animal Science Farm. This integrated system includes an integrated facultative pond (IFP), which produces and captures methane for energy production, a constructed wetland for filtration and plant production, and a …

The effects of dietary lipid and rumen protected Capsicum oleoresin on plasma glucose and insulin kinetics, and feed efficiency in finishing beef cattle
… oleoresin (i.e. capsaicin) on finishing beef cattle feedlot performance, DMI, carcass characteristics, circulating blood metabolites and acute phase proteins, and insulin sensitivity in response to an intravenous glucose tolerance test. In the first study, the experimental design was a 22+1 …

IMPACT OF CONVENTIONAL AND PRECISION CATTLE MANURE APPLICATION METHODS ON HORMONE CONCENTRATIONS AND ACTIVITIES IN SURFACE WATER AND SOIL
… adjacent to the University of Saskatchewan Beef Cattle Research and Teaching Unit was used for a study established in 2018. Within the field, three treatment zones of approximately 40 acres each were set up. The three treatments were 1) commercial fertilizer (no manure), 2) conventional, also …

Measurement and control of particulate emissions from cattle feedlots in Kansas
… are an increasing concern for large open beef cattle feedlots. Research is needed to develop science-based information on PM emissions and abatement measures for mitigating those emissions. This research was conducted to (1) measure PM concentrations emitted from large cattle feedlots, (2) …

Enhancing the feeding value of corn crop residues to improve beef cattle production
Corn has been used in cattle diets for more the 50 years in the United States. However, since 2005 when the “Ethanol Era” started, the demand for corn to be converted in to ethanol has been increasing. The increased demand for corn to be converted into ethanol, led to increased corn prices. When …
