Podcasts about Biosecurity

The term "biosecurity" is often bantered about when discussing herd health, but what does it really mean?  On this week's episode of Goat Gab, Cameron and Laura are joined by special guest Dr. Deb Manglesdorf as they take a deeper look at elements to consider in a biosecurity program.

Dr. Filippa Lentzos, Senior Lecturer in Science and International Security at King's College London, joins us to discuss the most pressing issues in biosecurity, big data in biology and life sciences, and governance in biological risk. Topics discussed in this episode include: - The most pressing issue in biosecurity - Stories from when biosafety labs failed to contain dangerous pathogens - The lethality of pathogens being worked on at biolaboratories - Lessons from COVID-19 You can find the page for the podcast here: https://futureoflife.org/2021/10/01/filippa-lentzos-on-emerging-threats-in-biosecurity/ Watch the video version of this episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6M34oQ4v4w Have any feedback about the podcast?

In this episode, we are talking about the practice and importance of biosecurity. Most Breeders don't understand biosecurity, and the importance of keeping your birds safe from the exposure of disease. Some of us have strains that we've been keeping for over 30 years. What we are going to talk about, if you follow it, will save your flock, and protect those valuable and irreplaceable strains. This is an episode you do not want to miss. This episode is packed with great information, and one you do not want to miss. I know you will enjoy this episode, and learn a lot too.

Keeping animals healthy is a livestock managers primary objective.  However, simple things like tires and boots may be carrying disease across your farm.  Wearing special boots at the fair and isolating new animals are just two of the things you can do to reduce the risk of disease in your animals. 

Passionate about space education, Haritina Mogoșanu is interested in how our experience in biosecurity can inform space exploration and protect life.

“We have re-introductions of diseases in some of our farms every year, so something must be able to improve biosecurity...our plan is to evaluate all 1,220 farms that we consult” Dr. Kristian Havn is a swine veterinary practitioner with the Porcus practice in Denmark who has pioneered an innovative programme to improve biosecurity on the swine farms that he advises. In English, the programme's name translates at Pathogen Stop. Its basis is an online survey form completed by the veterinarian in consultation with the farmer. The original idea was to make a system for evaluating biosecurity at farm level regarding PRRS virus, Dr. Havn explains in this podcast. But it has been extended to cover all pathogens, including APP, swine influenza, mycoplasma and even African swine fever.

Biosekuriti adalah semua tindakan yang merupakan pertahanan pertama untuk pengendalian wabah dan dilakukan untuk mencegah semua kemungkinan penularan/kontak dengan ternak tertular sehingga rantai penyebaran penyakit dapat diminimalkan. Dalam budidaya ternak, biosekuriti merupakan serangkaian kegiatan yang dirancang untuk mencegah penyakit masuk ke dalam peternakan ataupun menyebar keluar peternakan.

“Biosecurity is the only tool we have now to protect our pigs against ASF” Precautions for protecting the farm against the entry of the African swine fever virus are explained by Dr. Tomasz Trela, the Boehringer Ingelheim technical manager for swine in Central and Eastern Europe. Based on the experiences of swine farms in Europe and Asia, he warns of the ways in which that the virus can be carried in, such as on vehicles and feed. More conversations with Dr. Trela about ASF feature in other Meet The Expert podcasts.

Dass Gesundheitsrisiken gesellschaftlich ungleich verteilt sind, ist lange bekannt. Trotzdem trägt die Pandemiepolitik dem nicht Rechnung. Das Coronavirus trifft arme und bildungsferne Menschen besonders hart, und das nicht nur beim Infektionsrisiko, sondern auch, was den Krankheitsverlauf angeht. In einer Sonderfolge spricht Wissenschaftsredakteurin Korinna Hennig mit dem Medizinsoziologen Nico Dragano über die sozioökonomische Seite der Corona-Krise. Er erklärt, was man aus früheren Pandemien hätte lernen können, welche Rolle Nahverkehr und Arbeitsplätze spielen - und was man anders machen müsste.

COVID-19 had an immediate impact on gatherings. Several agricultural conferences, events and meetings were either cancelled or switched to a virtual format in order to continue to deliver information to farmers. Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Crops Extension Specialist Allie Noble is involved with the planning with many events. The pandemic certainly changed how these activities were delivered but she says it wasn't all bad news. In fact, the pandemic taught organizers a lot about what farmers want and how they want to receive information. Noble says things will return to normal, but it will be a new normal. Manitoba's pork producers applauded the government's passage of new bills designed to enhance the ability of farmers to enforce biosecurity protocols. Prior to adjourning for its summer recess, the Manitoba Legislature passed the Animal Diseases, Petty Trespass and Occupiers' Liability Amendment Acts. Manitoba Pork General Manager Cam Dahl said this will help ensure that farmers can help protect their animals from biosecurity threats. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand's National Pest Management Plan for kauri dieback is incomplete, 3.5 years after government departments started working on it. Budget 2021 allocated $28 million towards the plan. But some kauri conservationists say the funding will be tied up in bureaucracy, not go to those working at the grassroots - and treeroots - level. Reporter Sam Olley asked Biosecurity Minister Damien O'Connor about the delays, and where the budget money will go.

CSIRO Director of Health and Biosecurity, Dr Rob Grenfell, weighs in on changes he'd like to see to Victoria's vaccine rollout. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Biotech is engineered life. By definition, it is the exploitation of biological processes for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms. The biotech industry is a precursor to transhumanism seeking to shape future generations where being human is anathema. The biosecurity state seeks to remove the rights of all natural life. Alison McDowell is an independent researcher in Philadelphia, PA who began her journey in as a public school parent opposing the high-stakes testing industry and the privatization movement until she realized the endgame was shifting towards constant data collection on students through educational technology. Her research can be found at Wrench In The Gears and her YouTube channel with informational videos. She and I met when we were both guests on a podcast with fellow education researcher Alice Linahan where we discussed artificial intelligence (AI), predicative analytics, and gamification of education. Over time, we have collaborated to expose educational technologies and human capital investments markets preying on schoolchildren. The Commit Partnership is a “collective impact” nonprofit in Dallas run by Todd Williams, a former Goldman Sachs real estate executive at the center of the financial crisis of 2008. Commit has “data sharing agreement” with all school districts in the metroplex and beyond. Commit is moving to the new biotech hub at Pegasus Park. Pegasus Park is home to a 23-acre biotech hub funded by an oil family foundation and will be home to at least five social impact organizations, as well as UT Southwestern, Uplift Charters and Commit. The 1976 dystopian film Logan’s Run was filmed at the location. Get the rest of this article and links to additional information HERE. Support the show (https://offbeatbusiness.com/sign-up/#join)

Public sector workers earning more than $60,000 can only expect pay increases in "exceptional circumstances" while those on more than $100,000 won't get a cent more over the next three years, the Government says.Last year the public sector was asked to have nil or minimal pay increases until next month.The Government says the extended pay freeze is to reduce debt from the Covid-19 response, but the Public Service Association (PSA) says it punishes workers "after a year of sacrifice, hard work and success protecting New Zealanders from Covid-19".The Government's Workforce Policy Statement, issued today, sets out its expectations for pay and employment relations in the public sector.New Zealand had an "exceptionally successful health and economic response to Covid-19", Finance Minister Grant Robertson said, supported by the Government taking on debt for polices like the wage subsidy."As the recovery gets under way, we are keeping a close watch on the debt taken on during Covid-19 to support the economy," Robertson said."Just as businesses are making decisions as they plan for the recovery, our responsible economic approach means the Government is faced with choices about where new spending is targeted."Public Service Minister Chris Hipkins said any increases would be targeted to lower-paid public servants, largely those earning below $60,000, who account for about 25 per cent of the public sector.Those earning between that and $100,000 could expect increases only in "exceptional circumstances"."We want to see those on lower wages be the focus of any increases in pay."This is about prioritising spending. The policy will also help protect jobs by taking financial pressure off the public wage bill."The PSA, which represents almost 80,000 workers, said they felt "betrayed"."In our hospitals, in testing labs and on our borders, PSA members did the hard work required to push Covid-19 out of this country," national secretary Kerry Davies said."It is unacceptable that after 12 months of pay restriction these workers are told to swallow it for another two years."The median salary for a PSA member is $59,000 a year, and 80 per cent earn below $75,000 annually, Davies said.Border and MIQ personnel have spent the past year under tremendous pressure, working above and beyond normal expectations.The median salary for a Customs Officer is $59,000 a year. Biosecurity officers earn $63,000, quarantine officers $70,000 and immigration officers $53,000.Government pay restrictions will be a tough pill to swallow for the border workers, and the many public servants who supported business owners and workers through lockdowns and their flow on effects."The Government can tell employers not to offer pay increases, but it doesn't seem able to limit increases in the cost of living," Davies said."Public servants are more likely to rent than most New Zealanders, and rents and house prices continue to skyrocket."Hipkins said the measures would not affect work within the Public Service to close gender and ethnic pay gaps."The guidance is consistent with the decision last year by the Remuneration Authority that Ministers and MPs would not be getting pay rises for three years because of the Covid-19 economic environment," Hipkins said."The Public Service Commissioner, who sets the pay of Public Service chief executives, will also not be increasing their pay."Asked what impact the freeze could have on higher-paid staff and potentially moving to the private sector, Hipkins the private sector too was experiencing pay freezes.Public sector wages over the past few years had also outpaced the private sector, and this would allow it to "catch up", he said.The Government was also "cracking down" on the use of what Hipkins called a "public consultant culture", he said."Where people are being brought in to do work where the public service should have capability to do internally it is unjustified. We are dialling that back."Asked if hav...

On this week's The Sci-Files, your hosts Chelsie and Danny interview Emma Dester and Saad Sharief. Emma is a dual-enrolled BS/MD student in the MSU Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering Department (BAE). She has been doing research in the Nano-Biosensors Laboratory for almost four years. Saad is a Ph.D. student, also in BAE, and is currently in his 4th year of the graduate program. His research interests lie in the synthesis and applications of nanomaterials, biosensors for pathogen detection, and anti-counterfeiting technologies to prevent drug trafficking.The Nano-Biosensors Laboratory focuses on developing cost-effective and rapid diagnostic methods that require less equipment and labor than traditional approaches. For the past year, both Emma and Saad have been working on nanoparticle-based methods to rapidly identify foodborne pathogens. In the United States alone, these pathogens are responsible for over 3,000 deaths each year. Traditional methods for detecting these common pathogens (Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, and Escherichia coli ) are a time-consuming process and require at least 24-48 hours. Their research focuses on the rapid identification of these organisms, reducing both the time and cost associated with these traditional methods. First, they use magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to extract bacteria from contaminated food. After extracting bacterial DNA, they use a simple colorimetric test to detect the presence of target bacteria. This test uses a gold nanoparticle-based assay and has the potential to produce results in under five minutes. Although research is still ongoing, current progress shows this new method to be a promising time-saving and life-saving technique for detecting pathogens in food.

Biosecurity ranks high on the list of concerns for swine veterinarians who want hog units tightened up to reduce disease. But the cost of new improvements can be overwhelming. The post Not making biosecurity improvements can cost more than making them appeared first on Pig Health Today.

There is an old veterinary saying that most animal diseases are bought and sold. It can be so tempting to buy every cute goat that you see, but there are some very good reasons to only buy your animals from reputable breeders who have herds that have tested negative for common diseases.In this episode, I am talking to Patty Scharko, DVM, MPH, a Field/Extension Veterinarian at Clemson University in South Carolina about keeping your goats health with a good biosecurity plan. It all starts with buying healthy animals and then being careful to not bring home any germs that will cause diseases. We talk about annual herd testing for the most common diseases, as well as how to keep your goats safe when people visit your farm or you go to goat shows. To learn more about caprine arthritis encephalitis, check out the "Working to Eradicate CAE" podcast we did a few months ago.To learn more about biosecurity:Dr. Julie Smith’s biosecurity grant funding provides:Biosecurity Training (videos)Youth, 4-H and FFA Biosecurity Learning ModulesIowa State University Center for Food Security and Public Health:Small Ruminant Diseases and ResourcesFor more information on infection control:Disinfection (info about disinfectants, bacteria, and viruses)

“Unfortunately, most of the processes - if not all - are human-driven. When you have people breeding sows, why are there farms with the same genetics and semen source not performing at the same farrowing rate level? Just because in one farm they do a better process than the other farm. The same thing happens with biosecurity and I think today we're living that same scenario with Covid.” – Dr. Cesar Corzo What you will learn: The Morrison Swine Health Monitoring Project; Sharing data; PED reports; The next level on innovation and technology; PRRS - epidemiology, risk factors, and potential factors; Cause and effect situation; PRRS diversity; Genome difference; Senecavirus – prevalence and risk factors; ASF – secure food systems; Biosecurity and compliance. Meet the guest: Dr. Cesar Corzo, received his DVM from Colombia University, his MSc from the University of Guelph and his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. He gained experience in a variety of technical positions in the industry, specifically within Elanco Animal Health. Most recently, he had the opportunity to lead the PIC Latin America health team, which allowed him to work with producers in 16 countries. He currently works as an associate professor at the University of Minnesota within the department of Veterinary Population Medicine and holds the title of Leman Chair in Swine Health and Productivity. He also serves as director of the Morrison Swine Health Monitoring Project. This voluntary project monitors the incidence and prevalence of high impact swine diseases, including PRRS, in approximately half of the United States sow herd population.
