Dustin G Aherin

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dustin G Aherin's research focuses on developing and applying simulation models to analyze beef cattle production systems. His work investigates the economic risks and biological variations associated with reproductive technologies such as embryo transfer in beef cattle. Aherin has published on stochastic systems simulation models designed to account for biological variability in bovine embryo transfer programs, contributing to decision-making tools for producers. He has also explored the resource use of beef cattle with differing genetic potentials in the Great Plains region.

His publications include a 2022 stochastic, individual animal systems simulation model for beef cow–calf production, which underwent development and validation. Another publication from 2018 details a decision-making tool using a stochastic simulation model to assess the impacts of biological variation on bovine embryo transfer programs. A 2017 publication addressed the systems approach to economic risk analysis for Bos taurus beef embryo transfer programs through stochastic simulation. Aherin's work is supported by his collaborators at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, including C. J. Kopsa, with whom he shares two publications.
