Pigs will only be able to grow at their max potential if they are in good health, and an important component of having good health is having proper air quality and airflow in your barns. In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Brett Ramirez about proper airflow, the importance of air quality in new and old barns, and other things to consider when designing a new swine facility. "Ventilation is important and can't be ignored. It is something that works 24/7 and if it fails it's pretty catastrophic if you aren't prepared." - Dr. Brett Ramirez

We all know that we aren't only a swine industry - we are also a people industry. We need people to keep our farms running and we need these people to be properly trained and enjoy what they do so they stick around. In this episode, I talk with Sara Pardall about her experiences as a swine farm manager as she shares insights and techniques to train employees and how to build a strong team of swine professionals. "You can pay people all the money in the world, but if they don't feel like they belong, they aren't going to stay." - Sara Pardall

What will the future of pig farming look like? That is an old question with many different possible answer. Some people imagine more robots and technology, but what about some changes that you may not see coming? In this episode, I talk with Dr. John Carr about his take on what the future of our industry will look like and what areas of swine production we need to further emphasize. Some of his answers may surprise you… "We need to revisit feed. It's not about how we convert the best corn on the planet, but rather the worst corn on the planet." - Dr. John Carr

Arguably the best thing that the swine industry can do today to plan for the future is to get the next generation interested in agriculture. With less families having a background in agriculture today than in past generations, it is much more difficult to introduce children to the swine industry. In today's episode with Dr. Joel DeRouchey, we talk about the importance of this subject and the opportunities we need to utilize to attract the bright minds of the future. "Each one of you that are listening can have a large impact on spurring the interest of our youth in the swine industry." - Dr. Joel DeRouchey

Proper virus classification is necessary for the swine industry to ensure we can track nearby viruses' lineages and update vaccination and biosecurity protocols as needed. In this episode with Dr. Kim VanderWaal, we discuss classification processes today and new technology available that may help increase the accuracy of proper classification. "We need to better understand the phenotype of the virus based on the sequence of the virus." - Dr. Kim VanderWaal

No matter what part of the swine industry you are a part of, you are ultimately working towards the same goal as everyone else - to produce affordable pork that the consumers want to buy. But what exactly do the consumers want to buy? In this episode with Dr. Marissa Hake, we work towards answering that question and learning how to build trust with the consumers so we can all work together to produce a product everyone wants. "Zoom out a little bit and think about what you need on your farm in the coming years and what consumers are thinking about, and then figure out the best path for your business." - Dr. Marissa Hake

Some pig traits can be easily improved with nutrition, but other things are better left to geneticists, and genetics can have quite a large impact on the performance of the sow and her offspring. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Mark Knauer about different sow selection parameters and which parameters the industry is focusing on for the next couple of years. "When it comes to gestation feeding, there are several pieces to the puzzle that already exist and I think we are going to learn a lot more here in the next couple of years." - Dr. Mark Knauer

Learning, adapting, and overcoming challenges are constant battles everyone has to go through several times in life. The lessons learned from these experiences are extremely important in helping us find success throughout our careers. In this episode, I talk with Dr. James Kober about some of the lessons he has learned from being a practicing veterinarian for the last 35 years, as well as some issues in the industry that he thinks need to be addressed. "If I sit in a lecture and can learn 1 or 2 take-home messages then that is a success. Take-home messages on any kind of continuing education are really important." - Dr. James Kober

Research is one of the most important ongoing goals of the swine industry. Performing these large-scale trials helps us find the best ways to keep our growth performance strong and our pigs healthy. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Brandi Burton about her field research trials on mycoplasma inoculation and mortality correlated biomarkers as well as good practices and mindsets we need to have as researchers, veterinarians, and nutritionists alike. "Communication is really the biggest piece in being successful in field research." - Dr. Brandi Burton

Ever since Covid began, grain and hog prices have been a whirlwind of fluctuations that have had some serious impacts on swine production. With the current market having seen such large fluctuations in price, it is important that we understand where we are at and where we will be in the next quarter. In this episode, I talk with Joe Kerns about those exact topics: where we are economically, where we may be in late 2022 and early 2023, and what we should do to best increase our net revenue as an industry. "Don't be afraid to let your feed conversions escalate a little bit because that will make you more money which is a major part of sustainability within our industry." - Joe Kerns

Transitioning the gilt into a successful sow is not always a simple task. They require particular attention and we cant treat them just like any other finishing pig. Similarly, graduate students often need quality education and preparation for their next step in their career. In this episode I talk with Dr. Crystal Levesque about raising the developing gilt as well as how to best prep graduate students to enter the industry. "The developing gilt is not a finishing pig. The way we create value in management and feeding on the finisher side does not apply to developing gilts." - Dr. Crystal Levesque

Maintaining a high health status on our farms is essential for good production outcomes.

A PRRS negative result means your herd is PRRS free, right? Theoretically, yes. But Dr. Corzo highlights the importance of not assuming your herd is PRRS free because of a single negative result.
