Podcasts about animal feed

 Why is gut health important and what connection exists between it and biosecurity? What about feed biosecurity? What role does it play? Our guest in this episode of Feedstuffs in Focus is Dr. Jordan Gebhardt, assistant professor with Kansas State University. Dr. Gebhardt joins us to discuss the link between biosecurity and gut health in livestock production.Dr. Gebhardt was part of this week's line up of speakers at the 2024 Kemin Intestinal Health Symposium. We had a chance to catch up with him recently to get a preview of his presentation. To view the 2024 Kemin Intestinal Health Symposium in on-demand, simply go to Kemin.com/symposium and sign up. It is a free symposium open to all.

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has announced two vacancies on the Feed Inspection Advisory Board Technical Advisory Subcommittee.

Geothermal emissions of methane and CO2 could soon be put to good use.  Work is underway in Rotorua to create livestock feed from the gasses in world-first research that could net the country $500 million by 2045.  The feed would be created from protein rich biomass, produced when microorganisms feed off greenhouse gas emissions captured from geothermal power stations.  Upflow Business and Innovation Director Andy Blair told Mike Hosking that they're testing if the system is scalable, to see how they can make it economically viable and sustainable for the commercial market.  The feed is unlikely to be bulk food, he said, but additives instead, since it's not a cheap thing to produce.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The feed industry and regulatory officials are challenging media reports alleging the HPAI virus has spread to dairy cattle as a result of the consumption of chicken litter on farms. Neither the U.S. Department of Agriculture nor the Food & Drug Administration have found a link to HPAI virus transmission in dairy cattle through chicken litter. Wild migratory birds are widely thought to be the likely cause of the transmission.FDA also has stated that chicken litter does not pose an animal or public health threat warranting usage restrictions.To find out more about what's going on with dried poultry litter and HPAI, we catch up with Austin Therrell, executive director of the Association of American Feed Control Officials, to talk about why the link between the feed ingredient and HPAI in dairy cattle is unlikely. This episode of Feedstuffs in Focus is sponsored by United Animal Health, a leader in animal health and nutrition.

Join me with my guest Deanne Converse as we discuss ways to become more self-sustainable with our livestock feed costs. Deanne is sharing her years of experience in feeding livestock without the feed store. With the rise in feed costs over the past few years, this is one podcast you won't want to miss. We're not only talking about how to feed cattle, but chickens, pigs, sheep, goats and more. For more information and any links mentioned in this episode, visit https://melissaknorris.com/427.

Of the food we grow annually, 40% is lost or wasted. Globally, food loss and waste is responsible for 10% of greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, rates of food insecurity continue to skyrocket. In 2022, nearly 828 million people faced acute food insecurity, an increase of more than 60% since 2019.These numbers are only expected to grow. So are there opportunities and for that matter reasons to disrupt the linear model of our current food system? In this episode of Feedstuffs in Focus, we revisit a presentation that Pete Pearson, Senior Director, Food Loss and Waste for the World Wildlife Fund, gave as part of our recent Food Waste to Animal Feed Virtual Conference. He talks about the introduction of circularity into food cultivation and production. Circularity considers the entire life cycle of food, including its societal and environmental costs, and supports alternative models for waste prevention and upcycling.View our recent Food Waste to Animal Feed Virtual Conference in its entirety, click on this link  or visit Feedstuffs.comThis episode has been sponsored by United Animal Health, a leader in animal health and nutrition.

Food waste and loss are a growing concern around the world. Food left in the fields. Food not pretty enough for supermarket display cases. The list goes on and on. All too often perfectly good food ends up in landfills or is left to rot in the field. But, is there a role for animal agriculture when it comes to possibly providing a solution to the food waste situation and, if so, what might that look like? Joining us in the episode of Feedstuffs in Focus to talk about food waste as an alternative animal feed ingredient is Dr. Jerry Shurson of the University of Minnesota. We also discuss a free online conference focused on fostering a discussion around the challenges and opportunities related to food waste for livestock. That conference is hosted by the University of Minnesota, University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University and Feedstuffs with the goal of communicating and educating those in the feed and feeding industries globally about the value of food waste for livestock in the backdrop of food, climate, and sustainability challenges.The conference will be held March 26, 27 and 28. Attendee registration for this free event is recommended.Conference sponsors include the North American Renderers Association, World Wildlife Fund, International Ingredients Corp., American Feed Industry Association and the US Grains Council. This conference is also supported by a USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Agriculture and Food Research Initiative Competitive Grant.  

The impact of the war in Gaza is ratcheting up on Israel, the US, and on the people of Gaza themselves. More than 30,000 are now dead - an unthinkable toll of Israel's offensive, since the October 7th Hamas attack. In an astonishing insight, UNRWA Chief Philippe Lazzarini tells Christiane the looming famine there is now so bad, that some people have been eating animal feed to survive. Now even that is running out. Then, the head of the Norwegian Refugee Council Jan Egeland tells Christiane that he is “shaken” by the “horrific conditions” he's seeing firsthand in Gaza. “We're really, really overstretched in this ocean of needs,” he says.  Meantime, Donald Trump reportedly has an old friend in town next week - Hungary's far-right leader Viktor Orban. They will have plenty to agree on, like their affinity with Vladimir Putin who Orban has courted publicly, and Trump has praised for his “strong control” of Russia. How will authoritarianism and Trump's admiration for these so-called strong men play with voters in November? Mary Trump, the ex-president's niece and clinical psychologist, gives Christiane her diagnosis on Trump's “strongman syndrome.”  Then, CNN's Will Ripley sees firsthand the deadly game of cat and mouse playing out with China off Taiwan's coast.  Also this hour, President Biden turned the hysteria about his age on its head this week, by attacking the advancing years of his political adversary, Donald Trump - who is only four years his junior. Media critic, columnist and academic Margaret Sullivan says enough is enough with the herd mentality coverage of Biden's age, because this election is about much more than “chasing clicks”.  In the Amanpour Archive, the moment Christiane witnessed people dodging sniper fire for the chance to find whatever fresh food they could during the 1990's siege of Sarajevo, which ended 28 years ago this week.   And finally, in the week that saw U.S. presidents both past and present at the Texas border - where the immigration crisis is a top election issue - a brand new HBO documentary delves into the often-dark history of the Lone Star State. "God Save Texas" is an adaptation of the book by the same name from Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist Lawrence Wright. He tells Christiane why Texas is so emblematic of the struggles at play in America ahead of the presidential election.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Farmers in Germany have been protesting about plans to cut subsidies on diesel. The cuts were introduced to fix a budget row after the German's government's budget was ruled illegal. The proposal has now been watered down so the subsidy on agricultural fuel will be gradually phased out but that's done little to reassure farmers.The long running row over wild camping on Dartmoor continues. One of the landowners has won the right to appeal to the Supreme Court over a ruling, from the High Court, that wild camping is allowed on Dartmoor. He argued that camping shouldn't be allowed because it isn't 'open air recreation' - which is permitted under the Dartmoor Commons Act. Increasing the supply of green energy is one of the major targets for the UK to reach its climate commitments. Wind and solar farms both contribute to that but getting the power to where its needed means more pylons and underground cabling being built, often through rural areas and that's causing concern. All week on Farming Today we've been looking at animal feed. Soya has become a staple in feed - it's high protein and relatively cheap, but it's imported and can come from areas of deforestation so farmers are looking for alternatives. We visit a feed-manufacturer in Aberdeenshire producing a soy-free animal feed, using oil seed rape as a source of protein. Insects are another possible source of protein. Farmers in the EU can now use them in animal feed, but it's not yet allowed here in the UK. We've been to the labs of FERA Science in York to meet scientists researching the use of insects in animal feed.Robots and AI technology at the heart of a vertical farm in Lincolnshire growing British strawberries mid winter.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Walkers in England and Wales are being blocked or obstructed in nearly 32,000 places - and face what access campaigners call 'a shocking and growing abuse and neglect of footpaths'. A BBC investigation found that councils which have responsibility for footpaths had 4,000 more access issues last year than the year before. Councils say 'funding constraints' limit what they can do and the government says funding for local government has increased by 6.5% year on year and that local authorities are best placed to decide how that money is spent. The Ramblers say they're shocked at the number of obstructions and The Open Spaces Society says pleading austerity isn't good enough.All this week we've been looking at animal feed. Soya is a high protein and relatively cheap ingredient in many feeds but it can come from areas where forests have been cut down to make room to grow it. We visit a feed supplier in Aberdeen which produces an alternative using oil seed rape, and we speak to an academic who's been working on a project to improve the traceability of soya.Anna Hill meets three women from three different generations, working together to produce organic beef on a small farm in Suffolk. She hears how two of them are first-time farmers, brought into agriculture by circumstance. The farm manger, a single mother, used to work in a concrete factory, but took a job on the farm to make ends meet when she was out of work. She later recruited her niece. Meanwhile the farm owner, now in her 80s, still does the paperwork, pays the bills and runs the business. It's a tale of co-operation, compassionate animal welfare, and faith in the strength of women to get the job done.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Behind the scenes at the Food and Environment Research Agency or FERA where scientists are researching ways of using insects as an alternative source of protein in animal feed. We find out what the current regulations are and how they might change. What scientists plan to do with the waste from insects farmed for feed, and what are the challenge facing the scientists carrying out trials at the government's big laboratories outside York.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

As farmers contemplate thousands of hectares under water, the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology reports that Autumn rainfall, between September and November for the UK last year was 22% above average, followed by a December which saw 70% above average rainfall for central & northern England and eastern Scotland.  The government's announced help is available for flooded businesses and properties but farmers cannot insure against flooded crops and some have said they'll stop growing food on land that's repeatedly flooded. We speak to an expert about how farmers and government can better deal with flooding in the future.All week we're exploring the topic of animal feed. Today we hear from a farmer who's invested £30,000 in cages to protect his cattle feed from starlings. Giant flocks of the birds have been eating the grain Bryn Jones near Oswestry feeds his dairy herd. He estimates it's already saving him tens of thousands of pounds in lost feed and is helping protect his herd from disease - and improving the milk yield of his cows.We often hear that people want their food to be welfare friendly, sustainably produced and farmers to be paid fairly for it. Last year the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission, or FFCC, launched a citizens' panel made up of a representative cross-section of the public, to hear what they want from government policy, to make healthy food available to all. We speak to Guy Singh-Watson, founder of the organic veg food box company Riverford, and Sue Pritchard, Chief Executive of FFCC, which carried out the survey.

Soybean meal contains functional bioactive molecules that can help mitigate swine respiratory disease (SRD) effects on pig growth and development. Feeding elevated soybean levels can be especially cost-effective during winter/spring seasons, when barns are closed tight and SRD is more typically a challenge for veterinarians and producers to overcome. In this episode, Feedstuffs' Ann Hess talks with Dr. R.Dean Boyd, Dr. Paul Yeske and Dr. Amy Petry about how soybean meal is both a nutritional and prescriptive ingredient.  Listeners can learn more about how soybean meal can be an easy-to-implement management tool to enhance profitability in health-challenged pig flows. Content brought to you by U.S. Soy.View a Feedstuffs article on this topic: https://informamarkets.turtl.co/story/feedstuffs-october-2023/page/2

A multinational company has partnered with the Ministry of Primary Industries and researchers from Massey University to pilot a program that uses flies to convert waste from breweries, orchards and wineries into high-protein feed for animals. Veolia is a multi-billion dollar company that develops environmental solutions. They have provided a lab, based in Palmerston North, which is trialling various sources of organic by-products to produce high-protein feed - with a little help from black soldier flies. Veolia's country director Emma Brand spoke to Corin Dann.

Productive Energy, also known as Arkansas NE, is a way of more efficiently influencing performance, breast meat yield and even the economics and sustainability of broiler production, say  researchers.It is thought to be the only energy system that can significantly predict the feed conversion ratio and feed intake for broilers. It's a way of looking at what happens in the bird in terms of body composition.Research is underway at the University of Arkansas looking at the area of productive energy, and to date they have found very interesting results that indicated perhaps a change may be needed in how broiler diets are formulated. Joining us from the Poultry Science Assn annual meeting in Philadelphia is Diego Martinez from University of Arkansas. Martinez is Program Associate in Dr. Craig Coon's poultry nutrition lab at the University of Arkansas.This episode is sponsored by United Animal Health, a leader in animal health and nutrition.

In this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet, Dylan is joined by Paul Hillman, CTO at Entocycle, one of the UK's leading providers of insect farming technology to provide a sustainable supply of protein. They discuss the potential of using black soldier flies as a sustainable source of protein for animal feed, as well as the importance of working with nature and biology to create sustainable solutions.

A new report calls on UK farmers to grow more protein crops for livestock to reduce the amount of imported soya, and says that for that to happen, we all need to eat significantly less pork and chicken. The Landworkers' Alliance, Sustain, Pasture for Life and Hodmedods say there is an urgent need to reduce our reliance on soy, which they say is linked with deforestation and is expensive, putting pig and poultry farmers under pressure. They say to feed livestock on home-grown proteins would mean reducing our poultry intake by 86 per cent and pork by 82 per cent. Shearing season is underway. Wool prices have been depressed in recent times, most sheep farmers send their ‘clip' to British Wool, a marketing organisation that's owned by the farmers themselves. What they're paid depends partly on the quality of the wool. We find out how it's graded at British Wool's busy West of England depot. All week we're talking about sheep, and there is a lot to discuss, from wool prices to trade deals and the environmental impact sheep can have. There are about 30 million sheep in the national flock, and the National Sheep Association reckons sheep are worth 290 million pounds a year to the British economy, supporting 150,000 jobs.

On this week's Hemp Podcast, Lancaster Farming talks with Tom Trite, Sairam Rudrabhatla, Kenneth Okrepkie and David Minnig, who make up part of the leadership team of the Pennsylvania Hemp Engine. Funded by a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the Pennsylvania Industrial Hemp Engine Development Project is a strategic planning effort aimed at creating an innovative and inclusive economic ecosystem centered on industrial hemp. Spearheaded by Vytal Plant Science Research and partnering with universities, including Penn State and Emory University, and various stakeholders, the project seeks to advance technology, stimulate regional economies, address societal challenges and generate high-wage jobs. “The National Science Foundation wanted to reach out across the entire country to identify ways to stimulate the economy and take science and find out applications for commercialization,” said Okrepkie from Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania, a key stakeholder in the project. “We're talking about everything from space technology to lasers to industrial hemp,” he said. “What we've done is created an opportunity for the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, number one, that we competed on a national level to win an award.” And No. 2, he said, is the opportunity for Pennsylvania to be a national leader in the hemp industry. The Pennsylvania Industrial Hemp Engine Development Project is focused on the industrial applications of hemp fiber and grain and is not focused on CBD or medicinal uses of the cannabis plant.

It is tragic that 31% of the world's food production goes uneaten.  About 14% isn't distributed after it is harvested.  Another 17% ends up wasted in retail or by consumers.  Worldwide, the amount of food that is wasted is enough to feed more than a billion people while at least 828 million people continue to […]

Since the the 2014 Farm Bill established the legal framework for industrial hemp to return to the farm fields of the America, the commonwealth of Kentucky has been on the forefront. For much of that time, Ag Commission Ryan Quarles has led the department in charge of the hemp program. Quarles was elected ag commissioner in 2016 and is currently serving his second and final term. He said Kentucky was an early leader on hemp, “because we were the hemp state historically.” “A lot of farm families have hemp backgrounds,” he said. “You don't have to look very far to see the fingerprints of what used to be a big cash crop.” Quarles is a ninth-generation Kentuckian and grew up on the farm where his family grew hemp in the 1940s to support the wart effort. Having a history of hemp cultivation was helpful, but there were still challenges in bringing the crop back, he said. “I think the No. 1 issue with hemp in the early days was just the education of what hemp is and what hemp is not,” he said. “And so for a lot of us in the agriculture sphere, we knew that it was an industrial crop primarily used for its fiber and grain production.” Something else that set Kentucky apart was how the state program was structured. “We knew if we're going to bring this crop back from the dead, we needed to have a legal framework that was user friendly, that involved law enforcement, but also allowed people who want to grow it or process it an opportunity to take that risk,” he said. That legal framework set an example for other states to follow. “We've been replicated to most across the country because I think we were really the first state, in my opinion, that really got a legal framework that passed through our General Assembly, that our agriculture community adopted,” Quarles said. As the industry navigates the post-CBD craze market, Quarles would like to see some definitive language from the Food and Drug Administration. “The No. 1 impediment of hemp in America is the FDA. The FDA needs to do their job and give us guidelines on what their view is on the potential regulatory aspects of CBD and other cannabinoids,” he said. He said interest in fiber and grain production is growing in Kentucky, and he referred to two companies that are making great strides: HempWood and EcoFiber. How does he feel about a possible exemption to lift the burdensome regulations from fiber and grain growers? Listen and find out.

The transmission of disease-causing pathogens via feed ingredients has garnered a tremendous amount of study in recent years. With the specter of African Swine Fever in the minds of every U.S. pork producer, understanding the survivability of viral pathogens in a variety of vectors is critically important to adequate biosecurity on hog farms.Dr. Scott Dee is a veterinarian and research at Pipestone Applied Research. He and his colleagues have done as much or more study into the role feed ingredients play in virus transmission as anyone in the business. His most recent paper looked at a case study in which Senecavirus A was introduced into a historically-negative country via soybean meal imported from a positive country.In this episode we talk with Dr. Dee about the findings from this case study, how they apply to U.S. swine biosecurity efforts, and what veterinarians and producers need to do more generally to achieve what he describes as “next-generation biosecurity”.This episode of Feedstuffs in Focus is sponsored by Topigs Norsvin. Swine genetics company Topigs Norsvin is renowned for its innovative approach to implementing new technologies and its continuous focus on cost-efficient and sustainable pig production. Research, innovation, and dissemination of genetic improvements are the cornerstones of the company. Topigs Norsvin's approach of breeding pigs for enhanced, natural robustness to disease challenge is a viable solution for disease control.

Portia tours a facility in Ragged Lake just outside Halifax that makes protein for animal food using fly larvae. The founder and CEO of Oberland Agriscience, Greg Wanger, says the company is hoping to complete a new 10,000 square metre facility run entirely on renewables by 2024.

A farmer talks about a tragic accident which cost his nephew his life, in the hope it'll be a reminder to other farmers not to allow children on farm equipment. Brian Nutter was convicted by the Health and Safety Executive, after allowing his four year old nephew to ride on his digger. In 2017 the UK produced just under 14 million tonnes of feed - but 6 million tonnes of the ingredients were imported, and the cost has risen dramatically. So could the answer be getting animals to eat home-grown insects? In the European Union insects can now be fed to pigs. But the law here in the UK is lagging behind. A company which provides the technology to farm insects is lobbying for this to change. A group of conservationists, farming groups and policy advisers have launched what they call a UK Climate and Trade Commission. It's been set up by Queen Mary University of London and the Trade Justice Movement, and its 15 members include experts from the United Nations, former senior government officials, environmental and farming groups, businesses and trade unions. Members hope it'll help bridge the gap between trade and climate organisations.

40% of UK arable land is used to grow animal feed, the WWF says the system must change to address climate change, biodiversity loss and food security challenges. After three years of no show it's full steam ahead this week, as the Royal Welsh agricultural show gets back to business. But after a three-year break due to Covid, and amid warnings of dangerously high temperatures, organisers have admitted this year's event has been one of the most challenging to get up and running. All week we're looking at animal feed. It's perhaps the biggest cost a meat producer faces and those costs have been soaring, and that's certainly true in the poultry industry. We visit a feed processor near Winchester. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

In this episode of Feedstuffs Precision Pork, Mark Hulsebus, Swine Commercial Director at Cargill, offers some animal feed and hog market perspective. The corn market may have found a top in the first half of 2022, but the markets are wound tight enough that any weather disruptions this summer bear watching. Hulsebus also discusses the potential for food price inflation to temper meat demand heading into the heart of summer grilling season as consumers struggle with the higher cost of... everything.Finally, Hulsebus provides an update on the outlook for swine production profitability given the ongoing uncertainty in Eastern Europe and how that has roiled the feed markets, and why the forward profit curve is telling producers to take advantage of opportunities now... because Q4 and Q1 of next year will likely bring red ink.These are uncertain times, and it will pay dividends to be well-prepared.

Groceries are not the only food becoming more and more expensive. Feed for animals is on the rise as well. In this episode I will teach you how to cut back on the costs of feed for your farm or homestead.

It's clear that animal feed supply chains in their current form are unsustainable for industrial animal production systems. To keep up with increasing global demand for meat, alternatives to the traditional feedstocks should be considered. So, what role can insect protein play? In this webinar, an expert panel discussed how insects are developing as an alternative protein, the opportunities for scale and impact, and the regulatory and financial environment needed to make it happen. Panel: Sara Walton, sector lead, agri-food standards, BSI Arnold van Huis, emeritus professor, laboratory of entomology, Wageningen University Cindy Dunston Quirk, CEO and founder, Scout & Zoe's Premium Pet Products Adrian Charlton, principal scientist, Fera Science This discussion, held in partnership with BSI, was moderated by Toby Webb, founder of Innovation Forum.

On the backside of a global pandemic that wreaked havoc on the global supply chain, the Russian invasion of Ukraine added further strain and chaos to the global marketplace. In the short run, the unprovoked war drove commodity prices higher, but what will the long-term consequences be for the global meat and animal feed markets?In this episode we'll dig into the broader implications of Russia's war on Ukraine for the global meat trade. U.S. Meat Export Federation vice president of economic analysis Erin Borror explains that the war is impacting red meat availability and production, but is having an especially large impact on the cost and availability of key feed ingredients.Borror also discusses how the war is accelerating consolidation in the European swine industry.This episode is sponsored by United Animal Health, a leader in animal health and nutrition.

Rail service failures in recent months have led to widespread delays of train delivery at major grain export destinations. Failures and delays that have cost the grain industry more than $100 million through the first quarter of 2022, according to the National Grain and Feed Association.NGFA testified this week before the Surface Transportation Board about those failures and costs to the industry, calling on the Board to implement financial incentives for the railroads to perform more efficiently – similar to what the railroads do to keep shippers loading and unloading rail cars as efficiently as possible. The Association also testified on a wide set of policy issues, from reciprocity on switching rules, requiring additional data reporting, and developing additional guidance to railroads on their statutory obligations on service.In this episode we talk with NGFA Chief Economist Max Fisher about the current situation with the railroads, and what NGFA asked the Board to do to alleviate the burden on grain shippers and other agricultural customers.RELATED: If you want to learn more about the problems facing U.S. transportation and logistics, including rail, truck and ocean freight shipments, visit Feedstuffs 365 and watch our recent interview with Ken Eriksen of S&P Global.
