Caring for a horse with a long-term illness or injury requires both financial commitment and practical planning. Veterinary bills, medications, specialized feed, and management adjustments can add up quickly, so creating a clear financial plan helps owners prepare for ongoing expenses. Practical management—such as adjusting your horse's workload, providing appropriate turnout, and maintaining a consistent routine—can support your horse's well-being. Work closely with your veterinarian to be sure your horse receives individualized treatment.During this Ask TheHorse Live event, two veterinarians answer listener questions about managing horses with chronic illness and injury.

Derek Champagne talks with Dr. Scott Hutcheson, author of Biohacking Leadership. Scott Hutcheson, PhD is a biosocial scientist and senior lecturer at Purdue University, where his teaching, research, and professional practice centers on leadership, team, and organizational performance through the lens of the biology of behavior. His work in biosocial sciences explores how biological systems interact with social behavior to shape how we lead, collaborate, and adapt. Dr. Hutcheson brings this perspective to leaders and organizations navigating complex, fast-changing environments. A personal health diagnosis several years ago deepened his professional interest in the biology of behavior. After being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, Dr. Hutchesonturned to biohacking—using data, behavior change, and biological feedback loops—to manage the disease. That lived experience sparked a powerful insight: the sameprinciples that optimize the body can optimize leadership. This became the foundation of his current work: applying biohacking principles to how leaders signal presence, build trust, and create conditions for collective success.With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Hutcheson has worked with hundreds of organizations across industry, higher education, and the public and nonprofit sectors. His clients have included the White House, Fortune 400 companies, startups, and rural communities helping them address challenges related to competitiveness, innovation, sustainability, and public health. His impact is global, having worked with more than 4,000 leaders from 147 countries.He is the author of numerous academic articles and essays, and his 2019 release, Strategic Doing: Ten Skills for Agile Leadership (Wiley), became a #1 Amazon New Release in six categories and appeared on multiple Best Business Book lists. His next project is a three-book series with Wiley on the biodynamics of leadership, teams, and organizations. Dr. Hutcheson is also a columnist for Forbes where his articles are read by millions. He ranks in Forbes top 0.1% in readership. Dr. Hutcheson is a sought-after speaker, delivering keynotes and workshops around the world. His TED Talk on the “Science of Prospection” has been viewed more than 1.3 million times, and his Instagram account, @bookscotttospeak, has nearly 40,000 followers. He and his wife Lisa Hutcheson, a mental health policy leader and co-founder of Hutcheson Associates, live near Indianapolis in the historic Town of Ulen with their twodogs, Pippa and Cosette.

This episode was recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during the 2025 Tri-State Dairy Conference.Dr. Boerman notes we know cows experience a negative metabolizable protein balance in early lactation, which means they're mobilizing skeletal muscle to make up for that. Dr. Boerman and her group have been interested in strategies to measure how much muscle they're mobilizing, when they're losing it and when they gain it back.  (3:51)Cows are ultrasounded during the dry period to determine longissimus dorsi muscle reserves, then divided into low vs high muscle groups. Weekly ultrasounds follow them through lactation.  Animals with high muscle reserves during the dry period mobilized muscle before calving, which resulted in increased calf birth weights. Animals with less muscle during the dry period can gain muscle during that time and have more muscle reserves at calving than they had in the middle of the dry period. Dr. Boerman discusses possible nutrition interventions to manage muscle depletion and accretion, as well as timing of muscle loss and gain.  (5:14)The panel discusses how cows were assigned to high- and low-muscle groups and how representative those groups might be to the general population of dairy cows. Dr. Boerman mentions they've recently started evaluating primiparous cows as well to see if they perform differently than multiparous cows. (10:33)Dr. Boerman notes that cows are mobilizing between 30 and 35% of their longissimus dorsi depth during lactation and muscle biopsies have shown a reduction in muscle fiber size. They also measure 3-methyl histidine and creatinine as biomarkers of muscle loss and gain. The panel discusses increased calf birth weights and impacts on colostrum for high-muscle groups. Body condition score is not a good predictor of muscle depth. (16:52)The group discusses how parity might impact protein loss and gain, the influence of genetics on these muscle measurements, how health events might affect muscle mobilization and what kind of hormonal regulation might be occurring to control muscle losses and gains. (23:41)Dr. Weiss shares about a project from his group where muscle and fat losses were measured by dilution. They fed 20% protein diets using soy alone or with supplementation of rumen-protected amino acids. He emphasized the differences between heifers and cows, similar to what Dr. Boerman's group has observed as well. (29:54)Dr. Boerman shares some ideas of what kind of experiments she'd like to conduct next to continue this line of research. (33:42)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

On the latest episode of WTF? (What's Threatening Farmers) with Gary Truitt: U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says, “The Golden Age of Agriculture is just around the corner,” but many U.S. farmers are not buying this line. Purdue University research shows there is a major drop in farmer confidence in the future of farming. Corn growers have seen a long-term downturn in the farm economy. In this podcast, WTF host Gary Truitt examines the implications this has for Midwestern family farms and the rural communities where they live. He chats with Dr. Michael Langemeier, Director of the Purdue Center for Commercial Agriculture, as he offers recommendations on how producers can best position their operations to survive this multiyear depression.

This week on The Moos Room, Brad shares updates from the University of Minnesota's dairy research center, where staff have been on strike and he's been back in the barn doing chores, milking, feeding, and even pulling calves late at night. With calving season underway, Brad shifts the focus to a new review article on weaning practices in young ruminants, authored by Heather Nave at Purdue University.The discussion explores the stress calves, lambs, goat kids, and beef calves experience when transitioning from milk to solid feed, and how management decisions—such as weaning age and milk removal method—impact long-term health, growth, and welfare. Brad breaks down the pros and cons of abrupt versus gradual weaning, highlights the benefits of later weaning, and shares practical strategies to reduce stress, from nutritional management and water access to social housing and avoiding stacked stressors.Key takeaways include:Later and gradual weaning generally improves growth, gut health, and reduces stress.Early access to palatable solid feed and free-choice water is essential for rumen development.Environmental enrichment and positive human contact can help ease the transition.Veterinarians and farmers should balance short-term economics with long-term animal health and productivity.Tune in for research-backed insights and practical tips to improve calf and herd outcomes during one of the most critical stages of development.Improving the Welfare of Ruminants Around Weaning  in Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal PracticeQuestions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory 

Audrie Anthony's passion for horses and competition began at only eight years old in her hometown of Miami, FL. Audrie discovered her drive to work with dangerous horses early on as she saw a lack of compassion and understanding for these horses. Even before her 20th birthday, Audrie had taken dozens of free or unrideable horses into the competition ring. She competed these horses in the Little Wood, WEF, USEF, USDF and US Nationals & Regionals, winning High Points, Year End championships, Regional and Nationals titles. Audrie found developing her own breeding program as a way to give every foal a chance that many of her unruly competition horses never had. After studying pedigrees, genetics, and equine markets, Audrie developed a system of genetically selecting stallions and mares for producing an elite athlete that is sane, sound and talented, while also being ahead of the sales and competition markets. Audrie is currently competing as an Adult Amateur and breeding Hanoverian Warmbloods, while finishing her PhD at Purdue University.

In this episode of Innovation Meets Leadership, Natalie Born sits down with Dr. Scott Hutcheson, biosocial scientist, senior lecturer at Purdue University, and author of Biohacking Leadership. Scott blends his academic expertise with real-world experience advising organizations—from startups to the White House—to uncover how biology shapes leadership and team performance. Drawing from both personal health insights and decades of research, Scott introduces “leadership biodynamics,” a model that reframes executive presence into measurable signals of warmth, competence, and gravitas. With 18 behavioral biomarkers and a practical diagnostic framework, leaders can finally translate the vague idea of presence into actionable skills that inspire trust, connection, and results. If you've ever wondered how to amplify your leadership impact—or why your influence isn't landing the way you intend—this conversation is for you.[00:00 – 04:00] Scott's Journey into Biohacking LeadershipFrom organizational transformation failures to biosocial science.A diabetes diagnosis sparks personal biohacking experiments.How biology and behavior intersect in leadership performance.[04:01 – 09:00] Redefining Executive PresenceWhy “executive presence” has been vague and poorly researched.Breaking it down into “executive” (thinking) and “presence” (behavior).The birth of leadership biodynamics: 18 biomarkers that leaders signal.[09:01 – 13:00] The Three Pillars: Warmth, Competence, GravitasWhy warmth builds trust and connection.Competence as expertise and credibility.Gravitas defined as “feet on the ground, wings ready to take flight.”[13:01 – 18:00] Turning Biomarkers into ActionUsing diagnostics and feedback to identify signal gaps.Why “narrating your thinking” helps others see your competence.Translating thought processes into presence that others can perceive.[18:01 – 22:00] Leading with Warmth and Co-CreationHow leaders influence team neurochemistry with cortisol or oxytocin.A proven sequence: warmth → competence → gravitas.Design thinking parallels: inviting others into co-creation.[22:01 – 25:00] Storytelling and the Power of Origin StoriesWhy scientists and engineers often need more warmth.A young innovator's water purification story that unlocked funding.How adding human context amplifies technical competence.[25:01 – 27:00] What's Next for Biohacking LeadershipThe three-book series: Biohacking Leadership, Biohacking Teams, and Biohacking Organizations.Where to connect with Scott and explore his work.Key Quotes:“Executive presence isn't about how you dress—it's about the signals you send through warmth, competence, and gravitas.” – Scott Hutcheson“No one can see how you think.

Farmer sentiment dipped again in August as the Purdue University-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer Index fell 10 points to 125. Producers were markedly less optimistic about the future in August as the Index of Future Expectations dropped 16 points to 123. This was the lowest reading for the future index since last September. Purdue ag economists James Mintert and Michael Langemeier share insights into the results of the August 2025 survey, conducted from August 11-15, in this episode of the Purdue Commercial AgCast. Sentiment differed widely among producers depending on whether their farm is primarily a crop operation or a livestock operation. Responses from crop producers this month were much less optimistic than those from livestock producers, which indicates the disparity in profitability between crop and livestock enterprises. Beef cattle operations in particular are experiencing record profitability as the smallest cattle inventory since 1951 has pushed cattle prices to record levels. This stands in sharp contrast to returns for crop production which have weakened in 2025. The Ag Economy Barometer sentiment index is calculated each month from 400 U.S. agricultural producers' responses to a telephone survey. Further details on the full report is available at https://purdue.edu/agbarometer.

In this episode, I sit down with Donzel, whose journey takes us from the sun-soaked streets of Key West, Florida, to the locker rooms of Purdue University, and on through a 30-year corporate career leading international teams. We explore why he traded palm trees for the Midwest — a decision shaped by family ties, academic ambition, and the guiding hand of a high school coach with deep Purdue connections. Donzel shares how growing up surrounded by diverse cultures in Key West prepared him to lead in a complex, global world. Leadership That Meets You Where You Are Donzel tells a powerful story of nearly quitting his high school football team — and how Coach Freeman's flexible, heart-led leadership kept him in the game. That moment taught him the value of humility, accessibility, and investing in people. We talk about how those same qualities can transform workplaces, teams, and even entire communities. Making Your Destiny Happen Donzel's new book, Make Your Destiny Happen, began as a life plan he created in his twenties. Six months of writing turned into four years of editing, as he distilled decades of leadership experience from across the globe into a guide for others. His philosophy? Leadership done well creates ripples far beyond the office walls. Mentors in Unexpected Places From his great grandmother to a janitor who quietly shared investment wisdom, Donzel's life is a testament to finding mentors everywhere. We swap stories about the surprising people who've shaped our own journeys and how wisdom often shows up in the least expected ways. His book offers readers a roadmap to building a balanced life — one that honors both ambition and well-being. The Art and Grind of Creating We compare content creation to staging a Broadway production — the endless rewrites, the fine-tuning, and the moment you know it's ready. Donzel's hope is that his book will spark change and possibility for readers, and I couldn't agree more. Strong leadership is needed now more than ever, and his message delivers. Empowering Through Positive Change Donzel believes in leadership that inspires, not intimidates. His book is a call to action for anyone ready to take control of their life, redefine success, and lead with purpose. If it inspires even one person to take that step, he considers it a win. Where to Find Donzel You can explore more of Donzel's work through his website, his social channels, and his Make Your Destiny Happen Petite Podcast — short, impactful leadership lessons often inspired by his late father. And, of course, pick up your copy of Make Your Destiny Happen.   Donzel Leggett is an accomplished senior executive with 32+ years of leadership experience driving business growth for Fortune 200 consumer products companies. Donzel's career reflects a demonstrated track record of leading transformational change on a global scale through strategic vision, planning and execution, and inspirational leadership with enterprise-wide initiatives that include optimizing operations and integrating M&A transactions in complex international business environments. Donzel earned a reputation as an inspirational unifier having built many strong collaborative cross-functional teams, across several geographies, cultures, and diverse backgrounds. Donzel is also a community leader, a member of several nonprofit and advisory boards, and is board chair at two organizations. Donzel has been widely recognized as one of the most inspirational leaders within the many organizations in which he has been a part of.  He is continually contacted for career and leadership advice and development and has coached and mentored thousands of people across the globe.
