RISK, UTILITY AND STOCKING RATE* [PDF]
Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1971 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.

Effects of Stocking Rate and Environmental Enrichment on the Ontogeny of Pecking Behavior of Laying Hen Pullets Confined in Aviary Compartments during the First 4 Weeks of Life [PDF]
Animals, 2022 The objective of this study was to describe the ontogeny of the severe feather pecking (SFP), gentle feather pecking (GFP), aggressive pecking (AP), and enrichment pecking (EP) of non-beak-trimmed Lohmann Brown (LB)-pullets during the first 4 weeks of ...

Trait-mediated linkages and stocking rate thresholds in plant-community-soil feedbacks to long-term grazing in a Stipa breviflora desert steppe [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionStipa breviflora desert steppe serves as a critical ecological barrier in arid and semi-arid regions, where grazing represents the dominant land use practice.

PLoS ONE, 2022 Pregnancy rate is a major determinant of population dynamics of wild ungulates and of productivity of livestock systems. Allocation of feeding resources, including stocking rates, prior to and during the breeding season is a crucial determinant of this ...

INTENSIVE PRODUCTION OF COMMON CARP(Cyprinus carpio .L.) FINGERLINGS REARED IN CONCRETE PONDS [PDF]
Journal of Animal and Poultry Production, 2010 This study was carried out to investigate the effect of different stocking densities on the growth performance of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fingerlings reared in concrete ponds to produce the requested fingerlings prior to the next production season.

Credit rating and stock return comovement
Journal of Banking & Finance, 2021 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 ...

An early warning signal for grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Nature Communications, 2023 Intense grazing may lead to grassland degradation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, but it is difficult to predict where this will occur and to quantify it.

DROUGHTS, FODDER RESERVES AND STOCKING RATES* [PDF]
Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1959 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.
