Students in the Veterinary Science program at Hilhi recently launched an innovative grooming lab in a school-based enterprise model as part of their new Animal Care lab course.  Designed to emulate a professional pet salon, the lab allows students to apply their classroom knowledge in a practical, hands-on environment, moving from theory to real-world implementation. It opened with a soft-launch this fall, in which school staff were invited to bring in their family pets for grooming. This allowed students to experience what it's like to interact with actual clients and manage the needs of animals in a grooming setting.  This unique opportunity not only enhances students' technical skills in animal care and grooming, but also introduces them to the operational aspects of running an animal service business. Through this course, Hilhi is empowering students with industry-relevant skills and positioning them for success in veterinary science and related fields.  The Vet Science program at Hilhi is offered on the CCP Shuttle and is open to students across the district.

Discover the truth behind the myths and misconceptions about wolves with our special guest, Regina Mossotti, Vice President of Animal Care at the Saint Louis Zoo. Regina brings her wealth of experience to our conversation, sharing insider stories from her work with red wolf and Mexican grey wolf recovery programs. She unveils the shy, curious nature of wolves, challenging the cultural fear fueled by their negative portrayal in popular media. Prepare to shift your perspective as we explore how these misunderstood creatures prefer to avoid human contact and play a vital role in maintaining balanced ecosystems.Wolves can have a transformative impact on their surroundings, as exemplified by the reintroduction of gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park. We navigate the historical journey of wolf conservation, from the near eradication of wolves in the late 1800s and early 1900s to contemporary efforts focused on carnivore conservation across North America. Regina's insights emphasize the critical role wolves play in sustaining healthy animal and plant populations, highlighting the often-overlooked significance of these majestic creatures in preserving biodiversity within the United States.Collaboration and innovation take center stage as we uncover initiatives that foster coexistence between humans and wolves. From the "Prey for the Pack" program in North Carolina to the revival of livestock guardian dogs, we explore creative strategies that transform community perceptions and encourage local support for wildlife conservation. Regina shares inspiring stories of collaboration among diverse stakeholders, illustrating the power of dialogue and cooperation in achieving conservation goals. Join us as we celebrate the passion and dedication driving the ongoing efforts to safeguard the future of wolves and their ecosystems.Links:Regina MossottiSaint Louis ZooRed Wolf Breeding ProgramEndangered Wolf CenterUSFWS Red Wolf Recovery ProgramPrey for the Pack

Today David and Josh dive into one more study on "the 5 domains", a model used to asses overall animal welfare.

Besides tending to the needs of those that have been impacted by the affects of Hurricane Helene, there's also an ongoing effort to care for livestock and pets.  That's part of the reason the University of Tennessee College of Veterinarian Medicine has deployed its mobile small animal care unit along with a large animal ambulatory truck to the area.

Despite cell phone signals doing their best to keep us apart, Chris AND Ari are joined for the return of Greg Peccie, Riverbanks Zoo and Garden's Director of Animal Care and Welfare! Greg returns to the show to help us dig deeper into the many angles of professional development: developing a shared language for what those two words mean, how "quiet quitting" fits into an industry that requires constant diligence and effort from its employees, why newer keepers might be better served to aim for batting singles instead of homeruns, how being a change-maker and being miserable are both choices a person can make, and why leaders might want to see how a racehorse performs before they put money on it.  If you have a shout-out you'd like us to share, a question or a topic you'd like us to discuss, or a suggestion for a guest we should have on the show, let us know at podcast@naturalencounters.com!

A move to address years of dysfunction with Indianapolis's Animal Care Services is part of the 2025 Indianapolis budget plans. Indiana is one of the states that has benefited the most from clean energy projects spurred by the Inflation Reduction Act – that's according to the green business advocacy group E-2. Indiana Chief Justice Loretta Rush was chosen Wednesday to serve another five years as leader of the state Supreme Court. With climate change on the top of mind for many Indianapolis residents, the city is working to increase its sustainability effort, but it continues to fall behind — but in one area, clean transit, it persistently struggles.

In a world of Amazon and Uber-level convenience, where digital disruptors are changing the way the world interacts and how we do business, why do we think that the vet profession won't be impacted? "We're facing a lot of disruption. There is this class of digital disruptive dis-intermediators that are emerging and trying to displace the position of the veterinary clinic. Many of them explicitly have the mission to become the most trusted, most convenient touch point in the pet care journey." Dr Thom Jenkins is the co-founder & CEO of PetsApp, a client engagement platform the streamlines client interactions, and in this episode he'll show you why the veterinary profession is, and should remain, at the heart of animal care, why disruptors  think they can compete for the role of ‘most trusted', and how they'll do it. You'll hear how practices are integrating telemedicine and online services with the physical touch points of traditional bricks and mortar clinics, how we're our own worst enemies when we overpromise and underdeliver, and how a tech-savvy vet sees the role of AI in the future of veterinary science. Thom also tells us about his experiences of working as a vet in China.

It's important for animal care professionals to understand how they cope with loss because it will happen. While the animals that we work with are not pets or family members, losses can hit hard. Coping and healing are hard, but essential. www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

EPISODE 186 DETAILS   CARE PROGRAM CATTLE FROM IMI GLOBAL   CARE Certified Where Food Comes From CARE Certified is a suite of sustainability standards that certifies participating farmers and ranchers are implementing best practices in animal care, environmental stewardship and supporting their local communities and the people within them. Beef, pork, poultry, dairy and fish are all available   Animal Care Farms and ranches care about their animals, they are their livelihood.  They spend every day with these animals to ensure they are as healthy and content as possible. The Animal Care pillar ensures that farms and ranches are caring for their animals.  Things we look at include spacing, access to food and water, nutrition plans, how animals are transported and more.  Environmental Stewardship Farms and ranches know that they have to be good stewards of the land today in order to have a tomorrow. The Environmental Stewardship pillar of each CARE Standard ensures consumers that farms and ranches have procedures and management plans in place. Consumers can rest assured that CARE products have come from farms and ranches that are doing what they can to improve the environment.   People & Community Farms and ranches aren't built by one person, they are built by a community.  Whether it's helping your neighbors do chores when they're shorthanded, donating the food they've raised to the local school or simply being there when a natural disaster hits. CARE represents a community of farms and ranches that are committed to doing the right thing.  They lean on each other when they need it, and they give back to their local communities and the people within them.   Cattle Industry News BIRD FLU UPDATE: NEW CASES IN MICHIGAN, NORTH DAKOTA CHECKS IN, LAWMAKERS WEIGH IN State animal health officials confirmed new cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in dairy cows in Michigan. That announcement comes as North Dakota announced no cases so far and U.S. senators called for better communication among regulators to help stem the tide of new outbreaks.  The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) announced positive tests for HPAI in dairy cows in Clinton, Gratiot and Ionia counties, with additional testing expected soon. MDARD stated that the best tool available to combat the spread of HPAI, regardless of species, is using enhanced biosecurity efforts that include isolating new or returning animals on farms, monitoring the health of animals daily, and cleaning and disinfecting trailers used to haul animals. Meanwhile, officials in North Dakota reported there have been no cases of HPAI in cattle as of May 10, although the infections of dairy cows in nine other states this spring continues to be monitored, according to State Veterinarian Dr. Ethan Andress. USDA recently announced plans to provide a total of $98 million to help states and ranchers stem the spread of HPAI beyond birds as state and federal officials continue to monitor cases in 42 herds so far, including South Dakota. Enhanced biosecurity efforts are expected to remain in place as new information about HPAI in cows is gathered, officials added.   PROPER COOKING KILLS H5N1 IN GROUND BEEF With the continued spread of H5N1, some have questioned the proper way to prepare beef to ensure its safety.  The USDA said in its latest update that ongoing research shows that standard recommended procedures for cooking ground beef eliminates the H5N1 virus. USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service or APHIS reported that no virus remained in burgers cooked to 145 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit and that these results validate that recommended cooking temperatures are sufficient to kill H5N1 in meat.     UPCOMING SALES & EVENTS World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse Sale: May 16 - 19, 2024, Miles City, Montana   BULL SALE REPORT & RESULTS Churchill Cattle Company Van Newkirk Herefords Gardiner Angus Ranch Cow Camp Ranch Jungels Shorthorn Farms Ellingson Angus Edgar Brothers Angus Schaff Angus Valley Prairie Hills Gelbvieh Clear Springs Cattle Company CK Cattle Mrnak Hereford Ranch Frey Angus Ranch Hoffmann Angus Farms Topp Herefords River Creek Farms Upstream Ranch Gustin's Diamond D Gelbvieh Schiefelbein Farms Wasem Red Angus Raven Angus Krebs Ranch Yon Family Farms Chestnut Angus Eichacker Simmentals & JK Angus Windy Creek Cattle Company Pedersen Broken Heart Ranch Mar Mac Farms Warner Beef Genetics Arda Farms & Freeway Angus Leland Red Angus & Koester Red Angus Fast - Dohrmann - Strommen RBM Livestock Weber Land & Cattle Sundsbak Farms Hidden Angus Wheatland Cattle Company Miller Angus Farms L 83 Ranch U2 Ranch Vollmer Angus Ranch A & B Cattle Carter Angus Farms Roller Ranch Montgomery Ranch Jorgensen Farms DLCC Ranch Four Hill Farm North Country Angus Alliance Spruce Hill Ranch Wilson Angus   FEATURING Doug Stanton @imiglobal https://www.imiglobal.com/ Mark VanZee Livestock Market, Equine Market, Auction Time https://www.auctiontime.com/ https://www.livestockmarket.com/ https://www.equinemarket.com/ @LivestockMkt @EquineMkt @AuctionTime Kirk Donsbach: Stone X Financial https://www.stonex.com/   @StoneXGroupInc    Shaye Koester Casual Cattle Conversation https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ @cattleconvos   Questions & Concerns From The Field?

I am Savanna Owner and Founder of The Savvy Sitter, Pet Sitting and Dog Walking, LLC. I have grown up with animals all my life and enjoy spending time with them. I have lived in the Winter Garden and Windermere Area for over 30 Years. Though I do not have any animals myself, I love taking care of them and giving them the cuddles, playtime, and treats they deserve. I am an active equestrian, big dogs and horses do not frighten me. When I am not taking care of your Fur Friends, you can find me reading, practicing archery, riding, and figuring out ways to provide additional and great services to our clients!” Doug Keeling “I'm Doug the Dog Guy, and I'm the owner and founder of Bad to the Bone Pet Care. I began pet sitting and dog walking in the Fall of 2013 because I missed my childhood best friend, a Jack Russell named Skip, and because I wanted to combine my passions for animal welfare and entrepreneurship. Bad to the Bone Pet Care was born in 2014, and we have since had the privilege of working with thousands of pets across Northeast and Central Florida. We have won multiple awards for our premium-level professional pet sitting and dog walking, including Pet Sitter of the Year 2023, Best Jacksonville Dog Walking Company 2018-2022, and Best Pet Sitting Service in Northeast Florida 2016 & 2017. I tell everyone I meet, “this is a dream come true for a dream I didn't know I had.” Amber Van Denzen Suarez “Amber is the founder of Atta Boy! Animal Care. She has been working in the animal field for over 16 years. She started in the field by working in the horse industry – stable hand and pet sitter. She then trained as a local Veterinary Kennel hand, Veterinary Assistant and then an Emergency Veterinary Technician for both small and large animals for over 13 years. She has a bachelors of Animal Science from University of Florida.” Heidi Lewis-Pracko “Throughout my childhood, the running joke was always, “Where's Heidi? She's probably with the dogs.” In 4th grade, my family adopted our Welsh Corgi, Angel - the light of my life all the way into college. When she passed away, I was devastated. Luckily for me, 4 months later, we brought another Corgi into the family. I named her Hope, because she was doing exactly that, bringing hope to our family. Thus...Heidi & Hope Pet Services! My true passion came when I began pet sitting on the weekends. Pet sitting showed me the rewards of getting to work with animals one-on-one. I LOVE being the only one to care for people's pets and being relied upon to do so. I finally made the full-time move to Naples in 2016, where I feel lucky every day getting to live in the place that I vacationed all the time growing up. I immediately got into pet sitting upon my move and the rest is history!” Links: Donate to the Association https://www.facebook.com/FLPetServices https://www.instagram.com/flpetassociation/ FLPETSA@gmail.com FlPetAssociation.Org Buy PSC Merch Give us a call!
