Send us a textEver wondered how the chicken on your plate became so efficient to produce? The answer lies in cutting-edge genetic science happening behind the scenes at companies like Cobb-Ventress. Brandon Mulnix sits down with William Herring, Vice President of Cobb-Ventress, at the Animal Ag Tech Innovation Summit in Dallas to uncover the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence, camera technology, and poultry genetics.With experience spanning beef cattle, pork, and now broiler chicken genetics, Herring brings unique cross-species perspective to genetic improvement. He walks us through Cobb's three-pronged approach to innovation: developing new genetic products, implementing cutting-edge science in their ongoing breeding programs, and staying ahead of scientific breakthroughs. The conversation reveals how every bird in their breeding program receives its own "social security number" and has countless traits measured to determine which individuals will create the next generation of broilers.The most captivating revelations come when Herring details how AI and camera technology are revolutionizing trait measurement. Traditional subjective scoring systems are being replaced with precision phenotyping that can analyze bird locomotion and even monitor mating behavior to address industry-wide hatchability challenges. We also get an inside look at Cobb's impressive "Proving Grounds" facility where they can test 40,000 breeding females simultaneously and produce 100,000 broiler eggs weekly for evaluation. Their relationship with parent company Tyson Foods allows for comprehensive meat quality assessment, creating what Herring calls a complete "playbook" for each new genetic product.Facing a future where beef prices reach record highs and pork supplies fluctuate due to African Swine Fever, Herring predicts continued global growth for poultry. For aspiring leaders, he emphasizes building teams with individuals smarter than yourself who can execute at high levels. Listen now for a fascinating glimpse into the technology shaping our food future and the leadership principles guiding agricultural innovation.Hosted by Brandon Mulnix - Director of Commercial Accounts - Prism ControlsThe Poultry Leadership Podcast is only possible because of its sponsor, Prism ControlsFind out more about them at www.prismcontrols.com

Amid a simmering global trade war, a former Manitoba Liberal leader is calling on Canadian agriculture to put a greater emphasis on supplying more of Canada's food needs, adding more value to Canadian agricultural products within Canada-- and diversifying Canada's export markets.Dr. Jon Gerrard says retaliatory tariffs imposed by China on Canadian canola, pea, pork and seafood imports / along with uncertainty over U.S. duties is pressuring Canadian farmers.There has been substantial progress over the past year in the effort to coordinate and enhance the control of wild pigs in Canada. In addition to the damage wild pigs inflict on the landscape and on crops - they present the potential to transmit disease to domestic pigs, the greatest threat being African Swine Fever. Erica Charlton, the Director of the Emergency Management Division of Animal Health Canada says the use of environmental DNA to identify the presence or absence of invasive wild pigs is gaining traction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Between COVID-19, Avian Influenza, and African Swine Fever, ordinary consumers are more aware than ever of the risks of infectious diseases on animal and human health, and to society at large. Ag technology that helps farmers better prevent the spread of diseases is more relevant than ever, and that was a big part of the motivation for today's guest, Rob Hannam, CEO of Farm Health Guardian. But Farm Health Guardian was far from the only livestock biosecurity agtech company in the space, and at some point, when the team came in contact with a competitor with a complementary suite of technologies, they did something unusual. The two companies merged.Given the current state of agtech funding and global financial markets, we thought the time was right to invite Rob on to talk about how he and his team first started exploring the idea of a merger, how they thought about the decision, and how it helped them unlock new opportunities and a more complete product.For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

In the podcast, Swine Extension Educator Sarah Schieck Boelke speaks with Rachel Schambow who is a researcher with the UMN Center for Animal Health and Food Safety at the College of Veterinary Medicine. Rachel speaks about the analysis her and her colleagues did of USDA's Sick Pig Surveillance component at Iowa State University and the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratories. She also talks about USDA's Sick Pig Surveillance program in general and how producers and veterinarians can support surveillance for African Swine Fever and Classical Swine Fever. University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine Center for Animal Health and Food Safety have created informational sheets about the sick pig Veterinary Diagnostic Lab's (VDL) surveillance program to help producers and veterinarians understand what it is and how they can participate. There are two versions of the informational sheets - one is aimed towards the intensive commercial swine industry, while the other is aimed more at non-swine veterinarians and general audiences.

On this episode of Agriculture Today, we'll learn about the trends of U.S. egg prices with an expert from Purdue University, the avian influenza situation in Indiana, African swine fever developments in the Western Hemisphere, U.S. trade opportunities with India, and a short-term outlook for the U.S. corn market and some opportunities for growers to sell old crop corn.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The spread of high-risk human and animal diseases across borders in the last five years has clearly demonstrated that the best-laid plans can go wrong when it comes to infectious disease control and prevention. In fact, North American and European countries proved decades ago that swine diseases like ASF and classical swine fever can be eradicated through effective government policies, even without ideal vaccines. However, the world has since changed.Joining our Ann Hess to discuss this topic and more from the PRRS Symposium in Chicago is Dr. Jishu Shi of Kansas State University. Jishu Shi's research programs focus on the development of novel vaccine technologies for animal infectious diseases. His team is currently evaluating novel adjuvants and strategies for vaccines targeting porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, swine influenza virus, porcine circovirus, and avian influenza virus. In addition, his team is also investigating the molecular mechanisms of IL-1beta release from macrophages and the role of IL-1beta in macrophage-cancer stem cell interactions.This episode of Feedstuffs in Focus is sponsored by United Animal Health, a leader in animal health and nutrition.

Vaccination is a cornerstone of animal health, and is critically important in animal agricultural operations. A number of devastating livestock diseases are prevented with vaccination, yet vaccines have not been developed for some of the most devastating diseases for several reasons. Long before the COVID pandemic and its slate of next-gen vaccine strategies, Harris Vaccines was using rapidly adaptable RNA-based vaccine technologies. The current suite of RNA-based vaccines have been used successfully in swine for years, with many others in development. Today's discussion is with Joel Harris, CEO of Genvax.  We discuss the technology and its applications. www.genvax.com@genvax @JoelTHarris

Episode Details Let's Ranch it Up! There has been lots of news about BSE, and what effect this could have on the ranch.  So it is the perfect time to address biosecurity on the farm and ranch.  And we are talking about those enemies that we can't see with the naked eye.  Regardless if you think this affects your operation or not, it is an economic factor that needs to be reviewed and calculated when determining your ranch or farm's bottom line. Profits to be made, losses to be lowered; a win-win to not overlook. And you want solutions?  We provide solutions and answer those questions that many have asked.  As always Tigger & BEC's crew dive into the latest agriculture news, rodeo action to not miss, and cover the cattle markets. Biosecurity on the Ranch When we hear biosecurity, we may think about infiltration, sabotage, and/or espionage.  We are not necessarily meaning the 2 legged invaders, but rather those that we can't see with the naked eye.  This is an animal welfare issue and an economic issue.  And it's becoming more and more important all the time as our consumers tell us what is important to them. COW COUNTRY NEWS Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy has been detected in a cow in South Carolina.  This was an atypical case and did not enter the food chain.  Protocols were in place and worked!   What would happen if the African Swine Fever hits the United States?  Experts say we need to prepare because it could greatly affect us in the beef business as well.

MIP Markets with Shawn Hackett - Indian and Chinese Shopping SpreeIndia has enjoyed the best-growing conditions for the past seven years. Intirn their economy has catapulted to the biggest in history. That being said, at first glance, crop problems in 2022 caused India to stop or dramatically slow the export of sugar, wheat, and rice. With tougher growing conditions on the horizon for Indian Farmers, could India participate in the panic buying of commodities? In 2022, India has already imported the most extensive amount of dairy products in 25 years 2022. With China in the mix, as they slowly reopen from Covid Shutdowns and battle African Swine Fever, the stage could be set for some real fireworks if the growing season in the US turns out to be worse than expected. Shawn also answers questions from listeners about the 40-year cooling cycle as part of the Grand Solar Minimum. Finally, he discusses a more active Atlantic Hurricane Season than predicted.
