Podcasts about avian flu

This week our good friend Logan Webster joins for a fun time talking about his past duck season as well as avian flu and what he's seen of that. Logan and his family had a totally different experience with it than we did because they grow chickens. We hear about the impact of that as well as discuss his year of bands, the current flooding happening around the US and how it might change waterfowl hunting areas.

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.

Send us a textHey Pickles!We have a brand new episode for you!This week, in our Noteworthy segment, we're discussing the cost of vegan groceries around the US. Have your groceries been costing you more?Our Main Topic this week takes a hard look at how Avian Influenza and the spread in if it in confined animal farming are on the way to becoming a recipe for the next global pandemic. Why aren't our governments admitting the correlation? How will the decimation of US health agencies affect our ability to control the spread of avian flu? This is definitely a topic that we will unfortunately be revisiting over the coming years.Here are some interesting articles on the subject:https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/antimicrobial-stewardship/antibiotic-use-livestock-rise-30-globally-2040-according-new-estimateshttps://www.loudounnow.com/news/fox-found-with-bird-flu-in-loudoun/article_32496494-ba9e-499c-8575-c41d53bb74f8.htmlhttps://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/mexico-reports-its-first-human-h5n1-avian-flu-casehttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bird-flu-heading-north-spring-fewer-federal-health-officials-working-s-rcna199607https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/british-columbia/with-8-7m-birds-dead-b-c-farmers-assess-avian-flu-toll-and-worry-about/article_b13d6dbb-19fb-505e-973b-47aa96434a78.htmlhttps://www.wisfarmer.com/story/news/2025/04/08/first-case-of-bird-flu-for-2025-confirmed-in-poultry-flock-in-sheboygan-co/82986228007/We have a recipe this week in our Vegan Cookbook Challenge!

Unless we do something to prevent it, over the next 40 years we're facing an epidemic of neurologic diseases on a global scale. A cheery thought. On this map, every country that's colored blue has more than 20 percent of its population over the age of 65. This is the world we live in. And this is the world your children will live in.除非我们采取措施加以预防，否则在接下来的40年里，我们将面临一场全球范围的神经系统疾病大流行。多么令人振奋的消息。在这张地图上，所有被涂成蓝色的国家，其65岁以上人口都超过了20%。这就是我们生活的世界，也将是你子女生活的世界。For 12,000 years, the distribution of ages in the human population has looked like a pyramid, with the oldest on top. It's already flattening out. By 2050, it's going to be a column and will start to invert. This is why it's happening. The average lifespan's more than doubled since 1840, and it's increasing currently at the rate of about five hours every day. And this is why that's not entirely a good thing: because over the age of 65, your risk of getting Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease will increase exponentially.在人类历史上的12,000年里，人口年龄结构一直呈金字塔形，最年长者位于顶部。如今，这种结构已经开始趋于平坦。到2050年，它将变成柱状结构，甚至开始倒转。其原因在于，自1840年以来，人类的平均寿命已经翻了一倍，目前仍以每天大约增加五小时的速度在延长。而这并不完全是件好事：因为65岁以后，罹患阿尔茨海默症或帕金森症的风险会呈指数增长。By 2050, there'll be about 32 million people in the United States over the age of 80, and unless we do something about it, half of them will have Alzheimer's disease and three million more will have Parkinson's disease. Right now, those and other neurologic diseases -- for which we have no cure or prevention -- cost about a third of a trillion dollars a year.到2050年，美国将有大约3200万人超过80岁，如果我们不采取行动，其中一半人将患有阿尔茨海默症，还有三百万人将患帕金森症。目前，这些无法治愈或预防的神经系统疾病，每年已花费约三千亿美元。It will be well over a trillion dollars by 2050. Alzheimer's disease starts when a protein that should be folded up properly misfolds into a kind of demented origami. So one approach we're taking is to try to design drugs that function like molecular Scotch tape, to hold the protein into its proper shape. That would keep it from forming the tangles that seem to kill large sections of the brain when they do.到2050年，这项花费将超过一万亿美元。阿尔茨海默症的起始是某种原本应当正常折叠的蛋白质，错误地折叠成一种“痴呆折纸”状态。因此，我们采取的其中一种策略是研发一种类似分子胶带的药物，使蛋白质保持在正确的结构中，从而阻止其形成那些会破坏大脑大片区域的缠结。Interestingly enough, other neurologic diseases which affect very different parts of the brain also show tangles of misfolded protein, which suggests that the approach might be a general one, and might be used to cure many neurologic diseases, not just Alzheimer's disease. There's also a fascinating connection to cancer here, because people with neurologic diseases have a very low incidence of most cancers. And this is a connection that most people aren't pursuing right now, but which we're fascinated by.有趣的是，其他影响大脑不同部位的神经系统疾病，也表现出类似的蛋白质错误折叠缠结现象，这表明这种治疗方法可能具有普适性，或许不仅可以治疗阿尔茨海默症，也能用于其他神经类疾病。此外，还有一个令人着迷的联系：患有神经系统疾病的人，其患大多数癌症的几率非常低。虽然目前很少有人深入研究这一联系，但我们对此深感兴趣。Most of the important and all of the creative work in this area is being funded by private philanthropies. And there's tremendous scope for additional private help here, because the government has dropped the ball on much of this, I'm afraid. In the meantime, while we're waiting for all these things to happen, here's what you can do for yourself. If you want to lower your risk of Parkinson's disease, caffeine is protective to some extent; nobody knows why. Head injuries are bad for you.目前，这一领域中大部分重要且富有创造力的研究工作，都是由私人慈善基金资助的。而且这里仍有很大的空间，欢迎更多私人力量加入，因为恐怕政府在这方面已经失职。在等待这些成果实现的同时，你自己也可以采取一些措施。如果你想降低患帕金森症的风险，咖啡因在某种程度上具有保护作用，尽管没人知道具体原因。头部受伤则对你非常不利。They lead to Parkinson's disease. And the Avian Flu is also not a good idea. As far as protecting yourself against Alzheimer's disease, well, it turns out that fish oil has the effect of reducing your risk for Alzheimer's disease. You should also keep your blood pressure down, because chronic high blood pressure is the biggest single risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. It's also the biggest risk factor for glaucoma, which is just Alzheimer's disease of the eye. And of course, when it comes to cognitive effects, "use it or lose it" applies, so you want to stay mentally stimulated. But hey, you're listening to me. So you've got that covered. And one final thing. Wish people like me luck, okay? Because the clock is ticking for all of us.头部受伤会导致帕金森症。禽流感也不是件好事。至于如何预防阿尔茨海默症，研究发现鱼油能降低患病风险。你还应当保持血压稳定，因为长期高血压是阿尔茨海默症最主要的风险因素，也是青光眼的最大风险因素，而青光眼本质上可以看作是眼睛的阿尔茨海默症。当然，在认知功能方面，“用进废退”始终适用，所以你需要保持大脑活跃。但嘿，你现在正在听我说话，所以你已经做到了。最后一点，请为像我这样的人祝福吧，因为时间正在为我们所有人倒数。

Tuesday, April 8 -  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken start with some good news from the world of medicine with a simple smell test for early detection of Alzheimer's in an effort to treat the neurodegenerative disease early. Then, the conversation shifts to a focus between the connection between heart problems and brain diseases, evidence of animals and degenerative brain diseases, the FDA approves the first home-based nonprescription diagnostic test for certain STDs for women, sugar substitutes and why they aren't always a better alternative, children of obese mothers are more likely to become an obese adult, and the differences between the diabetes and weight loss drugs. Questioning why it's so difficult to find a doctor, and why there's such a long weight to get in with your medical team, the latest information on the Avian Flu, and changes in Medicaid affecting your wallet. Doug and Dr. Ken discuss that, too. Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

The price of eggs is the talk of the town, and has been, for months. Earlier this year, a dozen eggs could cost you up to eight dollars a carton. Today, you can find them for cheaper. However, farmers continue to deal with the leading cause of that high price tag: the avian flu. To get a local perspective on the disease and the strain it’s putting on egg production, we reached out to a few Washington state poultry farmers.

Season 5: Episode 207In this North American Ag Spotlight podcast episode, host Chrissy Wozniak interviews Katie Pasitney from Universal Ostrich, a family-owned ostrich farm in British Columbia, Canada. The farm, which has been raising ostriches for 35 years, is facing a crisis due to a government order to cull over 400 ostriches amid an avian flu outbreak, despite most birds showing resistance and antibodies to the virus.Katie explains that the farm has shifted focus in recent years to groundbreaking antibody research in collaboration with Kyoto Prefectural University in Japan. They inoculate ostriches with antigens to produce robust antibodies in their egg yolks, which could be used to create nutraceuticals like lozenges and nasal sprays to boost human immunity against diseases, including COVID-19 variants. This research has shown promising results, with one ostrich egg containing antibodies equivalent to 100 chicken eggs or the blood of 800 rabbits, offering a humane and efficient alternative.The crisis began in December 2024 when the farm noticed symptoms similar to a 2020 pseudomonas bacteria outbreak, initially linked to migratory mallard ducks. However, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), acting on an anonymous tip, tested two deceased ostriches and confirmed H5N1 avian influenza using PCR tests, rejecting the farm's request to test healthy birds or conduct a broader study. Despite the farm's isolation and the ostriches' apparent herd immunity—evidenced by 76 days without symptomatic deaths post-quarantine—the CFIA ordered the entire flock's destruction, citing trading partner policies influenced by the World Health Organization and the UN.Katie highlights the farm's struggle against what she calls a “stamping out” policy that prioritizes mass culling over preserving natural immunity, potentially benefiting Big Pharma by eliminating alternatives to vaccines. The CFIA has threatened a $250,000 fine or jail time if the farm tests its own animals, and even probed for intellectual property during a 5.5-hour meeting, despite having already signed a kill order on December 30, 2024. The family faces a deadline to kill and bury the ostriches themselves or lose compensation if a third-party contractor intervenes.With a judicial review scheduled for mid-April, the farm is fighting legally to save their ostriches and research, having raised over $60,000 for legal fees but facing $100,000 more in outstanding costs. Katie pleads for public support, emphasizing the global implications for agriculture and natural immunity, and directs listeners to saveourostiches.com for updates and donations.Chrissy underscores the story's urgency, calling for action against government overreach and the preservation of this potentially revolutionary science, urging listeners to share the episode and support the cause. Learn more about this cause at https://bcrising.ca/save-our-ostriches/ and give to the cause at https://www.givesendgo.com/save-our-ostriches or https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ostrich-farmers-fight-to-save-herd-from-avian-flu?attribution_id=sl%3A80e09934-7413-429b-acfb-2f7015cc19d3&lang=en_CA#ostrich #farming #agricultureDon't just thank a farmer, pray for one toSend us a textAgritechnica in Hannover, Germany is held every other year, this year long-time tech writer & ag journalist Willie Vogt has put together for ag enthusiasts!

Measles and Avian Flu have been in the headlines, and it has been five years since the start of the COVID pandemic. We welcome back Dr. Eric Yager of the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. There should be no shortage of topics! Ray Graf hosts.

Wednesday, April 2 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on what's going on with our federal government and some of the programs that've been important for American farmers, Bayer and Monsanto fight to take away Americans' right to know about pesticide toxicity and take away the right to sue these companies for failure to warn consumers, a push to cut down the price of eggs amid continued avian influenza concerns, and consumers swapping hen eggs for turkey eggs. Then, Doug introduces us to Jim Lowe, the owner of Lowe Family Farmstead in Kuna, ID. Lowe Family Farmstead is Idaho's most popular fall destination with their biggest time of year being the fall. They hav u-pick pumpkin options, an acclaimed corn-maze, raising beef and other livestock, too. Other options for guests, include an authentic tractor-drawn hayride, wandering through their beautiful flower field, enjoying some farm-fresh food, and of course, and more. Jim grew up farming and ranching but didn't have a generational family farm to grow with his family. A common discussion on the American Family Farmer program is the difficulty first generation farmers face without an inheritance of land, making it nearly impossible to become a farmer. Jim has a degree in Ag Business, so the idea of agritourism appealed as a niche market that could overcome the obstacles of traditional agriculture, which he and his wife, Hillary, moved forward with the efforts. Years later, they have their Lowe Family Farmstead, offering a creative twist on agriculture that taps into the heart of Idaho. You can find more information, and plan your own visit, on LoweFamilyFarmstead.com. Lastly, Doug shares his final thoughts and opinions on the privilege it truly is to be a farmer, why family farming is such a tough business, reflecting on what farming is really all about, and why it's a calling. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Wednesday, March 26 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on the Trump Administration and the freeze on previously approved farm projects and the financial toll it is taking on farmers, farm groups, farm states, farm industries, and why many in farming and agriculture are not happy. Next up, the bird flu continues to spread, exactly how long the avian influenza has really been around prior to the most recent outbreak, and how it's affecting the dairy industry in addition to the poultry and egg industry. Then, Doug introduces us to Bryan Ravencraft, a CPA with Holbrook and Manter in Ohio. Bryan discusses his work in accounting services for agriculture businesses and why being proactive is the best effort for his clients to plan for potential challenges and address their future plans for their farm and ag business. Bryan also helps his clients' agri-businesses grow by making the best decisions that benefit individual farms and ag businesses. Brian has worked with Holbrook and Mantr since 1995, primarily focusing on the areas of tax consulting and advisory services within several industries in farming and ag - agribusiness, construction, manufacturing, non-profit, professional services, real estate and closely held businesses and their owners. Lastly, Doug opines what farms with flocks, or backyard chickens, can do to be proactive in battling against the risk of infection from the avian flu. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Rural communities could find it increasingly difficult to save their local pubs following the decision to shut down a government grant scheme. The Community Ownership Fund, which helped groups to buy local assets such as pubs and parks, was set up as part of the Conservative government's levelling up programme. The Labour government closed the scheme earlier than originally planned.Poultry keepers across the UK must follow strong biosecurity measures to try to prevent the spread of avian flu. We hear what that means on the ground for farmers, and hear from a vet who says it is having an impact.And millions of tiny plastic pellets known as nurdles have been found washed up on the east coast of England - leading to concerns about their impact on seabirds and marine life. The Coastguard has said it's likely the nurdles came from the collision involving a tanker and a cargo ship in the North Sea, off East Yorkshire last week.

It's been a busy year for influenza cases, but it's not what we've seen in our clinics and hospitals that has infectious disease experts most worried. They are concerned about avian flu, otherwise known as the H5N1 subtype of influenza A. Specifically, they are worried about stress what happens if H5N1 jumps to humans and potentially spreads. What is that risk for people and what challenges lie ahead? In this episode, we'll explore our current standing and whether we are approaching public health crisis. From virology to epidemiology to infection control strategies, we'll break down the science, the current data and practical considerations for clinicians on the front lines. To help us understand this ever-evolving virus and its threat, we are joined by two incredible infectious disease experts, Samuel Dominguez, MD, and Suchitra Rao, MD. They both specialize in infectious disease at Children's Hospital Colorado. Dr. Dominguez is the Medical Director of the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory. Dr. Dominguez is a professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Dr. Rao is an associate professor. Some highlights from this episode include:  Overview of the current flu season and why it stands out  H5N1 transmission of H5N1 and the factors making this season concerning alarming How humans have been infected this season  Assessing the current risk to kids Key actions primary care providers (PCPs) can take right now  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Avian Flu has been impacting Pennsylvania’s farms for nearly two years now. The virus has had a major impact on poultry farmers across the state. According to the Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding, it is very devastating to farmers after their farm has been hit by the virus. “Nobody wants to do what these farms are required to do. You have to put flocks down. But you have to contain and suppress the virus as quickly as you can. It's the first principle of eliminating this virus, is to contain and suppress it, “said Redding. For poultry farmers, this is their livelihood. They wake up every single day to tend to the flocks, and it’s financially and emotionally challenging while dealing with avian flu. "These farms are now without a paycheck. It's difficult for them to go for some time. That's part of the challenge when you quarantine and restrict and then have to test. It could be two months; it could be three months without a paycheck. And the state stepped in, and I'll talk about that. And then of course, just sort of the social and emotional impacts of what these farmers are doing in the families, “said Redding. Over the last few years, there’s been 35 confirmed cases of bird flu in the state. The Department of Agriculture has been working to protect farmers during this challenging time. “We've done a lot of testing. So, we're working our way through it, but it's a long process, as you can appreciate. Once you have a positive and you go through the prescribed actions, we have to take on farms and for that farm to get back in business. And of course, our consumers are seeing the impacts of that in the marketplace with the price of eggs is one example, “said Redding. As of now, the 2025-26 Legislative Budget Hearings have been taking place. Secretary Redding shared if there were any updates on budgeting for the surveillance. “So, the legislature and the governor established a recovery fund that we've been able to sort of put aside some dollars and that has $61 .5 million in it. And that is to cover testing and recovery. So that testing recovery I think is what you call surveillance. So, we're doing that testing all the time. A lot of questions this year from the legislature because we did something really important and that was, we reallocated some money that had been for high path avid influenza to our food nutrition programs, knowing what we're seeing in the demand at the food banks as an example, and helping out with some innovation. So, all the money stayed within agriculture, but we did that knowing. that we had a recovery fund that had a significant and healthy cash balance. And that's credit to the governor and really the judicious use of those monies to help our producers, “said Redding. Grant Guilbon, Regulator Affairs Specialist for the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau also was a part of the conversation.
