Aflatoxin In Dairy Cattle Water Troughs, Julie A. Scott
Aflatoxin In Dairy Cattle Water Troughs, Julie A. Scott
Water Resources Science and Technology Theses and Graduate Research Reports
One of the most commonly found mycotoxins, aflatoxin, has been an emerging concern for the milk and dairy industry and a continued concern for the human food supply and cattle feed industry. There is a possibility of this carcinogenic mycotoxin being found in water and several studies have found them in water storage tanks, treated wastewater systems, and even in bottled water. With the potential presence in water, this study explores the possibility of aflatoxin in water troughs found on dairy farms which could be one of the exposures to cattle linked to causing aflatoxin in milk. Trough water samples …
Rivers As International Borders: A Comparison Of How Social-Political Factors Have Impacted Natural Resources In The Usumacinta River Basin And Rio Grande River Basin Within The Context Of Climate Change, Anna A. Flores
Water Resources Science and Technology Theses and Graduate Research Reports
Along transboundary river borders in North and Central America social-political factors such as conservation, militarization, and migration impact natural resources leaving the United States, Mexico, and Guatemala at risk of ecological decline due to the changing climate. I present a qualitative case study comparing the social-political factors and their impact on natural resources in the Usumacinta River Basin (URB) and Rio Grande River Basin (RGRB). A comprehensive evaluation of social-political factors is performed starting from the 19th century to the current era. I contribute to the field of environmental sociology by extending Laako and Kauffer’s (2022) work on eco-frontiers of …
