Join me as I check in with Brianne Skien, General Manager of the Carthage Veterinary Service. This will be the 32nd year of this conference and we have a great discussion about her leadership with the event, changes and a reflection back to when it all began. We address each topic at the conference and what to expect, as we also examine one thing that makes this conference different then the rest. About our guest: Brianne Skien has been with Carthage Veterinary Service since August 2017. She came from outside the swine/agriculture industry with twelve years of experience in Sales & Marketing related fields. For the first 4 ½ years with Carthage Brianne worked in a variety of leadership roles focused around CVS clients with the goal of ensuring client success, and continues with that mission in her current role. In October 2021 Brianne was promoted to General Manager where she oversees departments who provide products or services within the Carthage System and to producers nationwide.

Dr. Will Fombelle with Carthage Veterinary Service, LTD stops by the podcast studio to chat with us about a recent case he dealt with involving a combination of nutrition and health opportunities. Dr. Will shares his case study about a nursery facility with increased mortality, as he started digging into the case he quickly realized this was a "Zebra" and not a "Horse". Engaging with nutrition experts, Will was able to submit a variety of diagnostic samples to help him diagnose both infectious disease agents as well as nutritional disease challenges. Will chats about the importance of having a well rounded education and how we as swine veterinarians can work as "extension agents" for other technical experts who aren't as fortunate to be able to visit pig farms as regularly as the veterinarian. We end with some well deserved shout outs to mentors who have helped shaped our respective professional careers.

The swine industry has adapted with each decade to improve the efficiency of the industry as a whole. Over the years we have made some mistakes as well as many advances, and learning from those mistakes and repeating those successes are the keys to continue improving. In today's talk with Dr. Connor, we learn about how we have managed diseases in the past, and how to use what we have learned to better manage current and potential future diseases. "
