PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
From/To: Aug 2005 - to date
Organization: Texas AgriLife Research, Texas A&M System
Role: Assistant Professor of Air Quality Engineering
Major Tasks:
Plan and conduct research to quantify and characterize air quality from and develop
control measures for cattle feedlots, swine facilities and dairies. This research addresses
environmental air quality in relation to state and federal policy and industry needs. This
work is carried out as a member of a multidisciplinary faculty team drawn from several
collaborating agencies which is conducting field research in the Southern Great Plains
on odor, particulates and gaseous emissions.
From/To: Dec 2001 - to July 2005
Organization: University of Kentucky
Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering
Role: Research Specialist
Major Tasks:
Principal researcher of USDA IFAFS funded, Reducing Ammonia Emissions from
Poultry Houses by Enhanced Manure and Diet Management project. This project
involves the determining ammonia emission rates from four broiler houses at each of
two sites in Kentucky. These emission rates are derived from measurements of
ammonia concentration in the exhaust air and determinations of ventilation rate.
From/To: July 1995 to Dec 2001
Organization: Department of Primary Industries
Intensive Livestock Industry Services and Beef Programs
Role: Principal Environmental Engineer
Major Tasks:
Project leadership of MRC funded, Feedlot Waste Management project. This major
project involved research components investigating odor emissions from beef cattle
feedlots and the hydrology of beef cattle feedlots. Key outcomes of this project
involved guidance to industry on more appropriate design management for meeting
changing environmental requirements in the northern Australian climatic zone.

Kenneth David CASEY Resume November 2009
Program Manager of the Cattle and Beef Industry Cooperative Research Centre,
Feedlot Waste Management Sub-program. As Program Manager, I had responsibility
for research and extension programs involving professional and technical staff at both
DPI and the University of New England. Research areas included sustainable land
application, waste minimization through ration modification, modeling waste
production and value-adding through co-composting.
Project leadership of PRDC funded, Pig Waste Management Information Packaging
project. This project involved the development of waste characteristic estimation
software and the integration of this software with other computer models to form a
multipurpose computer model on the land application of agricultural wastes for use by
designers and regulators.
Project Leadership of DPI Funded New Initiative Project Environmentally
Responsible Waste Utilization for Intensive Animal Production. In this role, I was
responsible for establishing and leading a research group to undertake research and
extension on the environmental issues facing the intensive livestock operations. The
group included six research professionals comprising agricultural and environmental
engineers, environmental and soil scientists, and systems modeler. It was supported by
a professional extension officer, three technicians and an administration officer. Key
research areas included waste characterization and modeling, sustainable waste
utilization with a particular emphasis on phosphorus storage and utilization and odor
and gaseous emissions from anaerobic lagoons and other waste treatment facilities.
From/To: May 1992 to July 1995
Organization: Department of Primary Industries
Intensive Livestock Industry Services and Beef Programs
Role: Project Leader/Engineer
Major Tasks:
Project leadership of PRDC funded, Pig Waste Management Information Packaging
project. This project involves the development of waste characteristic estimation
software and the integration of this software with other computer models to form a
multipurpose computer model on the land application of agricultural wastes for use by
designers and regulators.
Responsible for the technical aspects of assessment of feedlot license proposals. This
has involved detailed assessment of effluent management proposals and odor
dispersion studies for a number of large feedlots.
Cooperation with the PRDC funded project on the production of reference books on
pig housing and environment control and effluent management in the pig industry.
This has involved the provision of extensive material and the writing of a number of
chapters.

Kenneth David CASEY Resume November 2009
Cooperating as a resource engineer to the Meat Chicken Housing project. This project
is looking at the design, operation and performance of hybrid ('Tunnel') ventilated meat
chicken sheds.
Project leader of intensive animal housing and environment control project involving a
resource engineering role to and coordination of extension efforts on housing and
environment with pig extension officers.
Development of computer database to store and process licensing information on
feedlots and proposed feedlots in Queensland. This database has significantly
streamlined process of the feedlot licensing system and enables the rapid production of
statistics and other information on the feedlot industry in Queensland.
From/To: August 1990 to May 1992
Organization: Department of Primary Industries
Agricultural Engineering Section
Role: Masters Candidate - Clemson University, South Carolina
Major Tasks:
A computer model to evaluate the design of anaerobic lagoons for pig wastes was
the subject of my thesis. A model based on a mass balance approach and empirically
derived relationships was developed for use as a design tool. The model is able to
predict nutrient concentrations in the lagoon supernatant and sludge. The method
of calculating the lagoon activity ratio of the rational design method was also refined
to more accurately reflect the rate of decomposition of organic matter at
temperatures below 20oC.
Studies were primarily undertaken in the schools of Environmental Engineering and
Agricultural and Biological Engineering, these covered areas including biological
treatment of wastes, land application of wastes, air pollution, and aquatic chemistry.
From/To: July 1981 to August 1990
Organization: Department of Primary Industries
Agricultural Engineering Section
Role: Project Leader/Engineer
Major Tasks:
Project Leadership of PRDC funded 'The economic effects and solutions of sub-
optimal environments in pig housing' project, a three year, $150,000, multi-organization
project. This project involved the recording and analysis of 15 years of pig housing
environmental data from 21 sheds. The Auspig pig production model was then utilized
in an attempt to calculate a cost of sub-optimal environments.

Kenneth David CASEY Resume November 2009
Cooperating engineer and Queensland coordinator of an EIRDC and CMRDC funded
project on the environmental performance of laying hen and meat chicken housing.
This project involved the continuous monitoring of the environment in ten layer and
meat chicken sheds in each of four states. The data from this monitoring was then
analyzed in an attempt to quantify the performance of different housing systems and
management options.
Resource engineer role for intensive animal housing and environment control. This
involved the provision of engineering advice to extension officers and producers, the
production of extension material and the coordination of extension efforts on housing,
environment control and waste management with pig and poultry extension officers.
