Podcasts about Biosecurity

In this episode, Bruce from BMC Bioscience LLC breaks down the intersection of high-level Green Tree Python (Morelia viridis) breeding, laboratory-backed biosecurity, and reptile genetics.Bruce shares his journey from getting his first GTPs in 1997 to formally establishing BMC Bioscience in 2020 with a massive focus on disease screening, biosecurity protocols, and advancing keeper standards across the community. We dive deep into serpentovirus and cryptosporidium testing, the realities of polygenic versus simple recessive/dominant traits, the 2019 taxonomic shifts in GTPs, and Bruce's ongoing research into how UV lighting impacts neonatal development.In This Episode, We Discuss:- The BMC Bioscience Story: Bruce's keeping background (since 1991) and scaling a professional breeding program.- Biosecurity & Testing: Disease protocols, dedicated quarantine, and navigating serpentovirus/crypto screening.- GTP Taxonomy & Morphs: The split into two distinct species, working with subspecies-specific lines vs. designer chondros, and inheritance debates.- Genetics & Neonate Care: Polygenic traits, neonatal color changes, and the science behind captive bloodlines.- UV Lighting Research: Bruce's findings on the role of artificial UV lighting in neonatal development.SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/258-bmc-bioscience/SPONSORS: Visit The BioDude: https://www.thebiodude.com/ Visit Zoo Med Labs here: https://zoomed.com/JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/animalsathomeLINKS FROM THE EPISODE:https://www.bmcbioscience.com/https://www.facebook.com/bmcbioscience/https://www.instagram.com/bmc_bioscience_llc/Photos and Video in Episode:https://www.instagram.com/bmc_bioscience_llc/

Jordana Gamble (former Canada Border Services Agency handler, Food/Plant/Animal canine handler) reveals the world of biosecurity and agricultural detection dogs—the discipline that gets zero love but produces the most finds. Working at Toronto Pearson Airport and international postal facilities, Jordana discusses the challenges, the rivalry with drug dog handlers, and why this is actually the BEST detection dog career.What We Cover:The path to becoming an ag/biosecurity handler: CBSA selection, 10-week academy, dog pairingDrug dog dropouts make excellent ag dogs (motivation differences: food vs. toys)Postal mode detection: endless boxes, short searches, keeping dogs engaged all dayPassenger mode detection: baggage carousels, fluid environment, longer search timesTraining aids: grocery store meat, smoked products, cured items, real food variationThe generalization nightmare: raw vs. cured vs. smoked meats confuse dogsFalse positives: baked goods with apple filling (legal but dog alerts)Real finds: grass cutters, dried monkeys, Iberian ham, endangered species, live animal smugglingThe rivalry: "Apple Dogs" vs. "Sausage Police" vs. Drug HandlersThreat response: African swine flu prevention, bird flu concerns, economic protectionDaily find rates: 10+ interceptions per day (vs. drug handlers going weeks with nothing)Reading your dog after thousands of finds: knowing fish smell vs. rotten ham vs. pork flossFinal response problems: dogs going active on bags (markers saved training)The "dog brain" override: when smell/frustration overrides trained behaviorWhy postal is physically brutal but rewardingHandler advice: never turn down an ag dog positionCareer satisfaction: dogs see work as playground, not just trainingWhy agricultural detection protects economies and industriesThe hidden importance of biosecurity workJordana worked both postal (conveyor lines, thousands of parcels) and passenger (airport baggage) modes. She shares how target-rich environments accelerate handler development—you get hundreds of finds to learn from, versus drug dogs going weeks without positive reinforcement. She also discusses the competitive dynamic with her drug handler husband, who now wishes he had her find rate.Critical Takeaway: "Detection work is detection work. Whether you're looking for drugs, firearms, currency, or food—it's all the same. Don't be too proud for the ag dog."________________________________________

Biosecurity remains one of the most important tools for protecting livestock health, but success depends on more than having a written plan. It requires clear communication, consistent training and a team that understands how to put protocols into practice every day. As disease threats continue to evolve and some pathogens become more infectious, effective on-farm biosecurity is more important than ever. In this episode, Dr. Josh Flohr, assistant professor at Kansas State University, discusses the gap between biosecurity policies on paper and their day-to-day execution on the farm. He shares insights on building a culture of biosecurity, gaining employee buy-in and ensuring protocols are followed consistently, even when operations are at their busiest.

Just because New Zealand hasn't recorded more bird flu cases, doesn't mean it's time to relax. Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard has announced legislation requiring anyone with more than 100 birds to have a bird flu prevention and response plan. This country has two confirmed cases of the globally circulating H5N1 strain in Petone and Carterton. Hoggard told Andrew Dickens MPI has investigated around one-thousand notifications, with no further cases found. But he says if infected birds are reaching New Zealand, they're probably also reaching Antarctica, meaning more cases could arrive in spring.

Preparations to protect our native wildlife against bird flu are said to be well in hand. A seabird found on Wellington's Petone Beach last week tested positive for the H5N1 strain. There's no evidence of widespread transmission, but it's considered inevitable New Zealand will have to learn to live with it. New Zealand's one of the last countries the disease has reached. Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard told Mike Hosking officials have been building protections, as it could be here to stay if it doesn't die out. He says DOC has been vaccinating some critical breeding populations so if they were hit, they should stay safe. Hoggard says the key response for most Kiwis is reporting when they see dead birds, as it helps them build a picture of where the disease is.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. The pharmaceutical and biotech industries are undergoing significant transformations, driven by scientific advancements, regulatory changes, and strategic investments. These developments are shaping the landscape of drug development and patient care in profound ways. In recent news, Pfizer's CEO, Albert Bourla, is reconsidering investments in Germany due to proposed healthcare reforms. These reforms have sparked concerns about their potential impact on the pharmaceutical industry. This situation highlights the intricate balance between regulatory frameworks and corporate strategies, illustrating how policy changes can influence investment decisions and operational strategies within the pharma sector. The tension between regulatory environments and corporate interests is a recurring theme that continues to shape strategic directions within the industry. Meanwhile, heightened scrutiny over biotechnology operations is evident with Wuxi AppTec's inclusion on the Pentagon's blacklist under the Biosecure Act. This move reflects growing concerns about biosecurity and the necessity for stringent oversight in handling sensitive biotechnological advancements. Such actions underscore a global focus on safeguarding national security while fostering scientific innovation. Teva Pharmaceuticals is navigating restructuring efforts by laying off 250 employees at its Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients unit as it seeks a new owner. This restructuring underscores the challenges companies face in maintaining operational efficiency amid ownership transitions. These challenges are emblematic of broader industry dynamics where companies strive to adapt to changing market conditions while ensuring stability and growth. On the scientific front, Novo Nordisk's cagrisema and Eli Lilly's retatrutide are emerging as next-generation incretin therapies. Although early comparisons have been made, Novo Nordisk's chief scientific officer suggests it is premature to declare a definitive leader. This competition reflects the dynamic nature of drug development as companies strive to innovate and improve treatment options continuously. Additionally, Sonothera's successful $125 million Series B funding round for its bubble-based genetic delivery system highlights the biotech industry's momentum fueled by mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and partnerships. Such technologies promise to advance genetic therapies by enhancing delivery mechanisms, potentially transforming treatment paradigms for various genetic disorders. AbbVie's Skyrizi narrowly surpassing Johnson & Johnson's Tremfya in May drug ad spending underscores the competitive nature of pharmaceutical marketing. Despite a general slump in advertising expenditures among leading drugs, strategic marketing remains crucial for maintaining brand presence and market share. Increased M&A activity and partnerships are further bolstering the industry's growth trajectory. The resurgence of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and venture capital funding is fostering innovation and expansion within the sector, providing fuel for continued advancement in biotech. On the regulatory front, Johnson & Johnson's Darzalex received a new endorsement from NICE after a prior reversal. Such regulatory updates emphasize the evolving nature of drug approvals and market access strategies essential for pharmaceutical companies' success. Novartis' second deal with Orionis Biosciences worth up to $1.4 billion exemplifies strategic investments aimed at expanding research capabilities and addressing unmet medical needs through molecular glue technologies targeting challenging therapeutic areas. Conversely, Sanofi's decision to halt a Phase 3 autoimmune trial due to insufficient efficacy highlights the inherent risks in drug development pipelines. These setbacks emphasize the importance of robust clinical trial designs and adaptability in R&D strategies. Emerging insights into GLP-1 drugs like Novo Nordisk's semaglutide reveal potential antidepressant effects linked to gut microbiota modulation. These findings open new avenues for exploring psychiatric applications of metabolic drugs, although conflicting data necessitates further investigation. Overall, these developments illustrate a complex interplay of scientific innovation, regulatory dynamics, and strategic corporate actions driving the future of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. The sector continues to navigate challenges while capitalizing on opportunities to enhance patient care through advanced therapeutic solutions.

It seems like every week there's another headline about a breakthrough in AIxBio: the intersection of artificial intelligence and biological science. AI is being applied to accomplish feats that sound like science fiction. It's being used to control laboratories, connect with our brains, and even create new viruses. But is there a lesson to be learned in science fiction? In this episode, host Shane Reader calls up Bruce Wittmann, Principal Applied Scientist at Microsoft, to discuss how AI-powered biological tools work, the ways they're being applied in biological research, and what he did when he discovered a biological "zero day" vulnerability that could have potentially empowered bad actors.

Join host Kimmi Devaney as she chats with Jason Shamburg and Nic Schoenberger, founders and managing partners of Kansas Dairy Development (KDD), about raising dairy replacements and leading a dynamic, high-caliber team. KDD is a calf ranch and heifer-raising facility based in Deerfield, Kansas, that raises youngstock for dairy clients in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Wyoming. They also operate a calf depot in Wisconsin.  Progression of calves and heifers at KDD:  KDD receives calves at 2 to 3 days of age on average, and calves spend approximately 90 days in bedded hutches with a wire paneled outdoor area. After 90 days, calves are moved into transition barns for approximately 60 days. The transition barns range in size from 480'- 660' in length with individual pens that are 30' wide by 90' deep with a 35' deep roof structure at the back of the pen. Pens are well drained and bedded seasonally with a curtain at the north end of the barn that can be raised and lowered seasonally as conditions require. Calves move to group pens at 150 days of age, which have a significant shade and windbreak structure. Both the group pens and transition barns are bedded heavily to the conditions and needs of the animals throughout the year. At 180-200 days of age, animals are moved to more traditional open lot pens where they will continue to grow until they are moved into the breeding area at approximately 350 days of age. Heifers will be bred according to their voluntary waiting period (VWP) and grown to eventually head back to their respective home dairy at 210 days carrying calf (DCC) on average).  Episode breakdown:  [~1:10] How KDD and the partnership between Shamburg and Schoenberger came together about a decade ago[~2:15] About their calf depot[~4:30] Seasonal management differences, including bedding year round[~7:20] Heifer breeding program[~8:30] Data management[~12:45] Overview of calf ranch and heifer development programs[~13:40] Their client base and how they built those relationships over the last decades[~16:20] Biosecurity[~19:25] Keys to successfully raising heifers[~23:40] How their core values help to shape their team culture[~31:00] Qualities they look for in new employees[~33:05] Keeping employees motivated and engaged[~35:30] The greatest lessons Shamburg and Schoenberger have learned about leading a high-caliber team[~37:45] Schoenberger was recognized by the Holstein Foundation with the 2026 Young Dairy Leaders Institute (YDLI) Distinguished Alumni Leader Award[~39:00] Schoenberger's message for current the YDLI class and what he hopes they gain from their experience[~41:40] Rapid-fire questions

On this episode of The Squeal, we're taking a closer look at one of the most critical, but often overlooked, components of swine health management: truck wash biosecurity.  Our host, Dr. Rebecca Robbins, PIC Health Assurance Veterinarian is joined by Dr. Kate Dion, Postdoctoral Research Associate at Iowa State University, and Emiliano Hidalgo, PIC Technical Operations Manager to discuss the importance of a truck wash and its procedures.  Transportation plays a major role in protecting herd health, and even small gaps in cleaning and disinfection protocols can create significant disease risk across production systems. From trailer sanitation and drying time to employee compliance and facility design, maintaining strong truck wash biosecurity requires attention to detail at every step. Whether you're managing transportation logistics, overseeing site health, or working directly in the wash bay, this episode offers actionable insights to help strengthen one of the industry's most important lines of defense.

Farmers and ranchers around the United States use a variety of procedures as a way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in livestock production. In some cases, those infectious diseases have the potential to spread to humans. To help agricultural producers increase preparedness and maintain continuity of business during a disease response, staff at the National Farm Medicine Center, Marshfield Clinic Research Institute, have led development of PremisesMapper, a free, web-based biosecurity premises mapping tool.   To use the free PremisesMapper tool, go to https://rfdash.org/PremisesMapper/ and create your account. After creating a map, producers can print it or download a PDF to include with their operation's biosecurity plan. Agriculture In-depth is brought to you by Kimball Livestock Exchange.

Episode #214 of the PricePlow Podcast goes deep with the two co-founders of NuCelium, a functional mushroom cultivation company operating out of Coldstream, British Columbia. Riley Boudreau and Rob Swiderski join Mike and Ben to explain NuCelium’s biology-first approach to potency and why their full-spectrum growing method can outperform conventional extraction without stripping out a single compound. The conversation covers Rob’s unusual path to mushrooms (he sold his shares in nine restaurants after a vision he attributes to God) and Riley’s journey from mushroom-picking robotics into cultivation science. Together with a founding mycology team carrying over 75 years of combined experience, they’ve built a facility where quality and affordability don’t have to be trade-offs. The headline result: NuCelium’s CordyFuelâ„¢ won the 2025 Cordy Cup with a third-party verified 14.83 mg/g cordycepin reading, the highest in competition history, achieved without extraction. For the full backstory on the company, see our NuCelium brand introduction on the PricePlow Blog, but this discussion is worth your full time. Once you’re done, you’ll be figuring out ways to add CordyFuel and these other top-tier mushroom ingredients to your stack.

In this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman welcome back Dr. Jeff Pettis and Carlos Perea of Terra Vera for an update on their evolving approach to honey bee health—one that goes beyond traditional varroa control. The discussion begins with a listener question on varroa management in top bar hives, highlighting the complexity of applying existing treatments across different hive configurations. From there, the conversation shifts to Terra Vera's oxidant-based technology, which mimics natural immune responses found in mammals and honey bees. Carlos explains how their chemistry, originally developed for plant health, showed effectiveness against mites and pathogens while remaining safe for bees at specific concentrations. Dr. Pettis shares results from cage studies and colony-level trials, demonstrating that the product can be applied directly to brood and adult bees without observed mortality under proper conditions. The conversation expands into two developing applications: Hive Health, aimed at improving colony resilience and reducing pathogen loads, and Hive Wash, designed to disinfect equipment and dead-outs by eliminating bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This introduces a broader concept of biosecurity—an area often overlooked in beekeeping but increasingly critical for managing disease transmission within and between apiaries. The episode also explores the role of viruses in colony collapse, the interaction between varroa and pathogen load, and early observations suggesting potential benefits in queen rearing. While distribution methods and application efficiency are still being refined, Terra Vera's work points toward a more integrated approach to colony health. This episode highlights the importance of moving beyond single-solution treatments and toward comprehensive hive management strategies that include nutrition, parasite control, and biosecurity.
