Modelling the impacts of pasture contamination and stocking rate for the development of targeted selective treatment strategies for Ostertagia ostertagi infection in calves. [PDF]
A simulation study was carried out to assess whether variation in pasture contamination or stocking rate impact upon the optimal design of targeted selective treatment (TST) strategies. Two methods of TST implementation were considered: 1) treatment of a

RISK, UTILITY AND STOCKING RATE* [PDF]
A simple utility‐based model of risky wool production is presented. Evaluation of the model indicates the effect on optimal stocking rate of changes in the degree of risk aversion, farm area, variable cost, fixed cost, wool cut, wool price, variance of wool price, climatic variability and tax rate.

Credit rating and stock return comovement
Firms with similar credit ratings, especially junk-rated ones, tend to comove strongly in stock returns with each other, which is not fully explained by their exposures to systematic factors. Following a firm’s downgrade into the junk-grade group, it tends to comove much more strongly in stock returns with firms in the junk-grade group and less with ...

DROUGHTS, FODDER RESERVES AND STOCKING RATES* [PDF]
The present article relates to pastoral firms in a drought-prone environment. For such firms, it explores the economic relationship between stocking rates, drought possibilities and fodder reserves. (1) The analysis shows that an optimal stocking rate can be ascertained for any given pattern of drought incidence.

Effect of the dam’s feeding regimen on the meat quality of light suckling lambs [PDF]
In order to verify the effect of the introduction of concentrates without GMO risk and at low aflatoxin risk in the diet of grazing milk ewes on the quanti-qualitative production of meat of their milk-fed light lambs, two trials were carried out - in ...

Comparable Stocks, Boundedly Rational Stock Markets and IPO Entry Rates
In this study, we examine how initial public offerings (IPO) entry rates are affected when stock markets are boundedly rational and IPO firms infer information from their counterparts in the market. We hypothesize a curvilinear relationship between the number of comparable stocks and initial public offerings (IPO) entry rates into the NASDAQ Stock ...

Vegetation Response to Increasing Stocking Rate under Rotational Stocking [PDF]
This 10-year study was designed to evaluate vegetation response to increasing stocking rates under rotational stocking (3 days graze, 51 days rest) and long-term rest. The 4 stocking rate treatments ranged from the recommended rate for moderate continuous grazing to 2.7 times the recommended rate. Common curly-mesquite [Hilaria belangeri (Steud.) Nash]

DO STOCK MARKET FLUCTUATIONS AFFECT SUICIDE RATES? [PDF]
AbstractIn this study, we extend the standard economic model of suicide by considering a new influential factor driving the voluntary death rate. Using an international sample, we estimate the model and document a robust and significant inverse relation between stock market returns and the percentage increase in suicide rates. Trends in male and female

Sustainable fisheries in shallow lakes: an independent empirical test of the Chinese mitten crab yield model [PDF]
Next to excessive nutrient loading, intensive aquaculture is one of the major anthropogenic impacts threatening lake ecosystems. In China, particularly in the shallow lakes of mid-lower Changjiang (Yangtze) River, continuous overstocking of the Chinese ...
