Наші співробітники прикордонної служби чекають там. Вони стежать за тим, щоб ми не ввозили заборонені товари, які можуть загрожувати унікальному довкіллю, економіці та громадам Австралії. Перш ніж застібати валізу, ось що вам потрібно знати про те, що можна — і що не можна — перетинати кордон, і що стоїть на кону, якщо правила біобезпеки ігнорувати.

Jassi Pannu, Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins, explains how rapidly advancing AI is transforming biological research and raising the risk of engineered pandemics. They map today's biosecurity landscape, from pathogen detection and DNA sequencing to vaccine development, and examine how frontier models can already troubleshoot lab work and bypass data safeguards. The conversation introduces a proposed Biosecurity Data Level framework to restrict only the most dangerous functional biological data while preserving open science. They close with a broader defense-in-depth strategy—Delay, Deter, Detect, Defend—including DNA synthesis screening, global pathogen surveillance, and practical tools like Far UV sterilization.

            In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn explores the importance of biosecurity for pet pigs—a topic that is rarely discussed but critically important for keeping pigs healthy and safe.           Autumn explains what biosecurity is and why it applies to pet pigs just as much as it does to farm animals. She shares how simple, everyday choices—such as footwear, visitor management, and exposure to public spaces—can significantly impact a pig's health. Drawing from real-life practices on her own homestead, Autumn discusses how she handles boarding, training, and introducing pigs from different environments to reduce the risk of disease, parasites, and bacterial exposure.           The episode also highlights often-overlooked risks found in public spaces, including dog parks, farm stores, and parks where pigs may be exposed to harmful bacteria, parasites, or toxic substances. Autumn emphasizes that biosecurity is not about fear, but about prevention and responsible pig ownership.           This episode encourages pig owners to be more intentional about where their pigs go, what they're exposed to, and how to create a safer, more controlled environment—helping ensure a long, healthy life for the pigs they love.

Farmer Angus CEO Angus McIntosh speaks to Lester Kiewit about why he believes mass vaccination is not the solution to South Africa’s ongoing foot-and-mouth disease outbreak. With beef and dairy prices climbing and the disease now spreading into high-biosecurity piggeries, McIntosh challenges the national vaccination drive announced after the outbreak was declared a national disaster by Cyril Ramaphosa. He argues that weakened animal immune systems, intensive farming practices, and poor cattle husbandry lie at the heart of the crisis, rather than a lack of pharmaceutical intervention. McIntosh also outlines the alternative farming methods he uses, the precautions on his own farms, and why he believes healthy, well-managed cattle are more resilient to disease.

This week, we honour the stillness of winter and the returning promise of light as we mark the winter solstice. At this turning of the year, we reflect on the people, plants and initiatives that this new light brings into focus. We begin by stepping into the richly curious world of Christopher Lloyd, the influential gardener and visionary behind Great Dixter House and Gardens. His legacy is recalled by his former student and now Head Gardener at Great Dixter, Fergus Garrett. Nick Turrell then returns with his top 10 countdown of plants that changed human history. This time, Nick delves into one species that helped ignite a vast global industry, asking whether its influence has ultimately made our lives better or worse. Finally, a look to the future with Sara Redstone who shines a light on a pioneering initiative taken up by theRHS, focused on strengthening plant biosecurity, highlighting the vital work being done to protect our plants and ecosystems for generations to come.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo, poultry veterinarian from UC Davis, to unpack the critical connection between biosecurity and the prevention of Avian Influenza (AI) — a highly contagious and potentially devastating disease for all chickens and gamefowl breeders and their bloodlines. Whether you're a breeder or raiser, understanding how AI spreads and how to block it at the source is essential. We explore the differences between Low Pathogenic (LPAI) and Highly Pathogenic (HPAI) strains, the role of wild birds in transmission, and the economic and animal welfare impacts of outbreaks. You'll learn: How Avian Influenza is transmitted—and how quickly it can spread The early warning signs of AI in chickens What biosecurity really means and how to implement it effectively Why vaccination isn't a universal solution (and when it might be used) Key biosecurity practices every breeder should follow—regardless of flock size The role of veterinarians in disease surveillance, outbreak response, and long-term prevention Whether you're an experienced breeder or a first-time chicken keeper, this conversation offers practical advice and up-to-date insight to help you keep your birds — and your farm — safe from disease. #AvianInfluenza #Biosecurity #PoultryHealth #GamefowlBreeding #ChickenBreeders #HPAI #LPAI #BackyardChickens #PoultryVeterinaryCare #DiseasePrevention #FarmBiosecurity #UCDAvisPoultry Join us on Bred to Perfection Live, Friday's at 6pm PST or 9pm EST on YouTube, as we discuss the benefits of creating your own strain.

A conservationist and former bee keeper is describing biosecurity's response to the yellow legged hornet as "hopelessly inadequate". Three queens have been discovered on Auckland's North Shore, one in the early stages of building a nest, and two males have also been spotted. The hornet, that's not established in New Zealand, is known to feed on honey bees and could pose a threat to the industry. Northland conservationist and former beekeeper Brad Windust spoke to Lisa Owen.

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory syndrome, more commonly know as PRRS, is the most economically damaging disease to the US pork industry. According to studies done by Iowa State University, it is estimated that PRRS cost producers $1.2 billion dollars in 2024. That staggering statistic is exactly why Extension Swine Outreach Specialist Jeff Morris is invested in sharing information about the disease.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Economist Dr. Jada Thompson highlights how much cheaper disease prevention is rather than trying to manage a disease that has already arrived.

Beyond the higher consumer prices and animal losses, outbreaks are also very costly to monitor and contain.

The Government is clamping down on arriving travellers at the border. It's making several biosecurity law changes including doubling the fine for people who don't declare fresh fruit and meat, to 800 dollars. There'll be new penalties and fines up to half a million dollars for breaches of controlled area notices. Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard told Mike Hosking that they want to deter behaviour that puts New Zealand at risk. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm really fascinated by today's topic of looking into pest and disease outbreaks in animal agriculture from an economist's point of view. Our guest, Jada Thompson, is going to discuss the economics behind prevention of these biosecurity issues,the economic impact when outbreaks do occur, some of the tradeoffs in the difficult decisions that need to be made, what that means for producers and consumers, and a whole lot more. To give you a little bit of background on Jada: Dr. Jada Thompson is an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness at the University of Arkansas. She worked in private industry for a few years managing customer insights and pricing analytics before earning her Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics from Colorado State University in 2016. Dr. Thompson's research primarily focuses on animal health and livestock economics with emphasis on the poultry industry. She also came very highly recommended from Dr. Trey Malone who was on this show last year on episode 434. So thank you Trey for the referral to Jada.
