Agriculture author and expert Wandile Sihlobo tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge that Agriculture mMinister John Steenhuisen has not option but to import foot and mouth vaccines through a centralised operation, despite the threats from many farmers to challenge him in court  to fight for the right to do the vaccinations themselves. “We can't now produce any vaccines,” he says, but, "if you want to vaccinate about 12 million head of cattle and you're not going to do it once  — you will vaccinate and then you need to boost and perhaps vaccinate two more times so that you are fully out of this as Argentina and the others have done before, then you need to have that supply in place.The problem then that Africa has is that we don't have the supply in place ... and then it has to be imported by the state. And in fact, that's what the regulations from the World Organization of Animal Health say. So when Minister Steenhuisen says it's only the government who will import, he's really following the rules.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan revisits a compelling conversation with Eliza Maclean, the heart and hands behind Cane Creek Farm, a vibrant, diversified family farm in Snow Camp, North Carolina.Eliza's journey to farming is anything but ordinary. With a background in environmental science and veterinary practice experience, she brings a deeply rooted respect for animal health, ecological stewardship, and ethical livestock management to every acre of her land. Her approach blends scientific insight with old-world wisdom, emphasizing regenerative farming and animal welfare over industrial intensification.At Cane Creek Farm, Eliza raises a rich mix of pasture-rotated livestock, including pigs, cattle, sheep, poultry, and more, in a way that nurtures both soil health and animal wellbeing. Rather than confining animals, she practices holistic rotational grazing, giving pigs, cows, and other species room to roam through woods and pastures. This not only contributes to vibrant land ecology but results in healthier animals and richer food for local families and chefs alike.Eliza also brings her veterinary knowledge to the conversation, discussing how careful attention to animal health, nutrition, and environment can reduce the reliance on medicated interventions and instead support naturally resilient livestock. Whether talking about pig diets rooted in diverse pasture forage or managing flock health in a way that honors each animal's innate behaviors, her insights are grounded in both compassion and practical experience.Beyond the fields, her farm's products, especially pasture-raised pork from heritage breeds like Gloucestershire Old Spots and Ossabaw Island crosses, have earned a devoted following at local markets and specialty butcher shops, where customers seek out meat raised with transparency and integrity.

Ferg shares his thoughts on genetic gain in the sheep and beef industries. He has often said that we should be seeking to achieve a minimum of 2% genetic gain, but the top operators we deal with here at neXtgen Agri are consistently achieving 3-4%. Ferg explains how they've achieved that with the use of selection accuracy and the compounding effect of disciplined breeding decisions over time.Ferg also talks about what that genetic gain actually means for each farm and what traits we should be looking at to optimise performance. Some traits benefit all farms, no matter the location (things like worms, dags and feet), and others that are more system-specific.  Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited. We help livestock farmers get the most out of the genetics they farm with.

What if measuring worm resistance didn't require high parasite burdens and ALSO delivered double the heritability of egg counts?Sarah Preston, Lecturer at Federation University and cofounder of Swabtec, explains the development of their saliva-based test designed to measure immune responses to gastrointestinal worms in sheep, allowing resistance to be assessed without relying on high worm egg counts.She and Mark discuss why egg counts often fail to reflect adult worm burden, particularly in mixed infections and with species that regulate egg production, and how this affects breeding and management decisions in well-managed, low challenge systems.They also discuss where they are with the development and validation of Swabtec. They are currently working to validate the test across breeds and environments and are planning to develop breeding values as the data builds. The test has been found to have a heritability of 0.4 compared to the WEC of 0.2 meaning flock improvements based on insights and data from Swabtec can occur twice as fast!Find out more below:https://swabtec.com/Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited.

Ohio's Country Journal editor Brianna Smith talks with Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) Director Brian Baldridge and State Veterinarian Dr. Dennis Summers about the ongoing national concerns surrounding Equine Herpesvirus Myeloencephalopathy (EHM), which is caused by the equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) virus. While seven states are currently dealing with EHM, Ohio has no known clinical cases, though ODA is "heavily monitoring" the situation and working to keep the equine industry informed. Dr. Summers explains that early symptoms often look like a typical respiratory infection: nasal discharge, coughing, and a sudden fever spike. Later cases can involve inflammation around the spinal cord and brain, leading to hind-end incoordination and even disorientation. He urges horse owners to be proactive with biosecurity and quick to report concerns. Owners should contact their local veterinarian first, then reach out to ODA's Division of Animal Health at 614-728-6220 to determine whether symptoms need to be reported. Director Baldridge and Dr. Summers emphasize that awareness and early communication are key to keeping Ohio's horses safe.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by technical services veterinarians from Merck Animal Health, Dr. Jacque Fusilier and Dr. Dave Sjeklocha to discuss bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in beef cattle. BRD has long been a challenge in the cattle industry but today, we are taking a fresh look. From shifting market dynamics to evolving herd management practices, we explore what is driving BRD today and what steps we need to take to stay ahead. This episode of Have You Herd? is sponsored by Merck Animal Health as part of their sponsorship package for the opening reception at the 2025 AABP Conference in Omaha, Neb. Merck is also the sponsor of the Merck Bovine Veterinary Student Recognition Award which is the AABP Foundation's scholarship program providing nine students scholarships of $10,000 each.  Market influences can impact producers' willingness to provide interventions to manage disease risk. Merck Animal Health partners with Superior Livestock Auction to evaluate the economic impact of providing preconditioning programs for calves including the VAC45 and PrimeVAC programs. The data from 2024 indicates that this preconditioning program added $8.46/cwt compared to non-preconditioned calves.  We also discuss beef-on-dairy crosses and labor challenges in our industry that can impact disease risk. Good animal handling, management and ensuring adequate colostrum delivery and vaccination can decrease BRD risk. Our guests discuss evaluating the risk of arrival calves by calculating shrink, backtags, other tags and evaluating manure consistency. Sjeklocha has a goal of less than 6% shrink. Technological advancements have also played a role in disease monitoring and improving calf health while optimizing labor resources. Veterinarians can play a key role in monitoring disease, providing goals, evaluating records, and training producers and caregivers how to manage stress and improve handling and management of calves.  For more information on the products available for BRD prevention, control and treatment, visit https://MAHCattle.com. 

Not every vet visit is sunshine and rainbows.  Sometimes we get overloaded with options for treatment and don't know what the right decision is.  Sometimes our pets lose complete bodily function all over the room.  Very different experiences, and yet both very stressful in their own way.  Thankfully there are a couple of Vets who know how to maneuver these sticky situations. Tune in this week as Dr. Scott and Dr. Mike tackle some more listener mail, of Vet Visits Gone Wrong.   This week's drink:   The Waiting Room- Vodka (or why not Malibu Rum!)
