Virtual fencing is drawing plenty of questions from grazing dairy and beef producers. In this episode of The Moos Room, Brad shares what the University of Minnesota's West Central Research and Outreach Center learned from using NoFence collars with heifers during the summer grazing season.Undergraduate interns observed 27 heifers from June through August and compared their behavior with collar records of audio warnings and pulses. The heifers spent most of their observed time grazing or standing, although grazing increased as the summer progressed. Observations associated with pulses showed less grazing and more walking, while warnings and pulses varied widely among individual heifers. Brad discusses what those patterns might mean, including how heifers respond when a virtual boundary moves.He also looks ahead to testing additional collars and virtual fencing systems with dairy cattle. Future work will examine animal behavior alongside the labor and economics of managing pasture with virtual fences.Questions, 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

What does excellent veterinary service look like in today's pork industry?In the final episode of the Communication That Drives Results series, Dr. Spencer Wayne sits down with Dr. Joel Nerem and Chris Bomgaars to discuss how communication is changing the way veterinarians and producers work together to support pig health and production.For decades, veterinary service has centered around farm visits, phone calls, and face-to-face conversations. While those remain important, today's swine industry faces new challenges. Veterinarians are responsible for more farms, production systems continue to grow in scale, biosecurity remains a priority, and the industry has fewer swine veterinarians entering the profession than in years past.As a result, both producers and veterinarians are being challenged to think differently about how information is shared, how decisions are made, and how veterinary expertise is delivered.The conversation explores how communication tools, virtual consultations, digital records, photos, videos, and real-time production data can help veterinary teams stay connected to what's happening on farms, even when they can't physically be there. Rather than replacing farm visits, these tools can help veterinarians focus more of their time on solving problems, improving herd health, and providing value where it's needed most.The guests also discuss the importance of context in making health decisions. A picture, video, production trend, or diagnostic result can provide critical insight that helps producers and veterinarians identify issues sooner and respond more effectively. Strong communication allows teams to move from reacting to problems toward proactively managing them.Throughout the episode, listeners will hear a thoughtful discussion about the future of swine veterinary medicine, including workforce challenges, producer expectations, biosecurity considerations, regulatory requirements, and the evolving role of technology as one tool among many available to support animal health.Key Takeaways for Pig ProducersWhy communication remains one of the most important services veterinarians provide.How the veterinary profession is adapting to industry growth and workforce challenges.Ways producers can improve communication with their veterinary teams.The role of virtual consultations, photos, videos, and production data in decision-making.How better communication can lead to faster responses, stronger herd health, and improved production outcomes.Whether you're a swine producer, farm manager, veterinarian, or industry professional, this episode offers valuable insights into how veterinary service is evolving and what that means for the future of pig production.As this three-part series concludes, one theme remains clear: communication with employees, growers, and veterinarians continues to be one of the most important drivers of successful pig production.

Dr. Jane Sykes, the director of the Center of Continuing Professional Education, a small animal medicine professor at the UC Davis Weill School of Veterinary Medicine, and the Ask A Vet columnist for the Washington Post, is this week's guest. Dr. Sykes shares her career journey from infectious disease research in Australia to an internal medicine residency and ultimately to a faculty position at UC Davis. She reflects on how an academic career gradually expanded into infection control, hospital leadership, postgraduate education, and additional training through an MBA and MPH, with each step opening doors she hadn't necessarily anticipated. She also shares how saying yes to media interviews, despite initially finding them intimidating, eventually led to another unexpected chapter: writing a veterinary advice column for The Washington Post.Thank you to our podcast partner, NVA General Practice.

Brad begins with an update from the WCROC dairy, where corn silage harvest is complete, fall calving is underway, and new Angus and beef-on-dairy calves are arriving.The episode then examines a six-year study of approximately 1,300 Holstein bull calves purchased through Wisconsin livestock auctions. Researchers measured serum total protein to evaluate whether the calves had received adequate immunity from colostrum. More than 70% of the calves were classified in the poor or fair categories, while only 16% reached the excellent benchmark. Calves with poor passive immunity were nearly 12 times more likely to die than calves with excellent serum total protein levels.Brad discusses why male dairy and beef-on-dairy calves should receive the same high-quality colostrum management as replacement heifers. He also explores how serum total protein testing—using a simple blood sample and refractometer—could help farms evaluate their colostrum programs and give calf buyers better information. Verified colostrum management could reduce calf mortality, reward dairy producers for raising healthier calves, and create greater value throughout the beef-on-dairy supply chain.Questions, 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

Surgery is a delicate, precision operation at the best of times, but imagine if your patient weighs less than four grams. Massey University vets were faced with exactly that prospect when they patched up a native skink. The tiny creature had been attacked by a cat in Whanganui and had a serious puncture wound on its side. Ingrid Brookshaw, a Veterinary resident at Massey Wildbase Hospital led the surgery, and spoke to Lisa Owen.

The UK is a nation of animal lovers, demonstrated by the growing popularity of pet ownership. People form strong attachments with their pets, making them an integral part of our homes, families, wellbeing and lives.As a result, Veterinary Social Work is fast becoming a valued and recognised specialism across the world. Its purpose is to attend to the emotional, social, and psychological needs of pet owners and veterinary teams.This episode of Let's Talk Social Work delves into the model in detail, exploring how it should work in daily practice, the interplay between Social Workers and Vets, the expectations on both professions, and the challenges it throws up. The conversation also considers how Social Work professionals can embed greater consideration of pets in their assessments and when building relationships with people.Host Jonny Adamson is joined by the UK's first Veterinary Social Worker, Rebecca Stephens, and dual Qualified Social Worker and Vet Surgeon, Yasmin Amer. They discuss the link between abuse of animals and people, animals as a strategy of coercive control, pet poverty and loss, and whether Veterinary Social Work can become a thriving specialism in the UK similar to other countries.Our thanks to James Ede at BeHeard Productions for producing the episode.

Dr. Miki Mannino, a canine rehabilitation therapist and owner of K-9 Kinetics Rehabilitation and Sports Therapy, is our guest on this week's episode. Dr. Mannino entered veterinary medicine with a clear vision for her future as a mixed animal practitioner, but a serious health challenge led her away from large animal practice and into canine rehabilitation. She built a new career and a practice around what she could do rather than what she had expected to do, and she shares what this experience taught her about letting go of a carefully planned career path, staying open to unexpected opportunities, and trusting yourself through periods of change and uncertainty.Thank you to our podcast partner, NVA General Practice.

In this episode of O&P Rising, host Kayla Wicks, CPO, MSOP, LPO, welcomes Katherine Davis, CPO, of Cornerstone Prosthetics & Orthotics, to explore veterinary orthotics and prosthetics as a unique career path within the O&P profession. Davis shares how her early work in veterinary ophthalmology and exposure to animal prosthetics ultimately led her to human O&P before bringing her career full circle by treating animal patients alongside a rehabilitation veterinarian. She discusses how many of the same clinical skills, materials and fabrication techniques used with human patients translate to veterinary care, as well as the unique challenges of evaluating patients who can't communicate what they're feeling. The conversation also explores common diagnoses, cost and access barriers, collaboration with veterinarians and pet owners, and opportunities to strengthen the field through shared knowledge, professional resources, potential credentialing and volunteer efforts that could make veterinary O&P care more accessible.   O&P Rising is produced by Association Briefings.

Early calf socialization may deliver long-term benefitsCan housing calves together during their first weeks of life affect how they perform as cows? This episode examines University of Florida research comparing individually housed, pair-housed and group-housed calves through their first lactation.Socially housed calves grew faster before weaning, producing up to 16% greater average daily gain than individually housed calves. Although differences in growth and reproductive performance largely disappeared after weaning, important benefits emerged after calving. Pair- and group-housed animals produced approximately 1,700 additional pounds of milk during their first lactation and were substantially less likely to be culled.The findings suggest that early social contact builds behavioral resilience. Calves raised with companions may adjust more easily to the milking parlor, regrouping and competition at the feed bunk—helping them maintain intake, manage stress and remain productive during the demanding transition into the milking herd. The results position social housing as more than a calf-welfare practice; it may also be a long-term investment in productivity and herd retention.Questions, 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

McKayla Baker has two dogs, Casey and Nettles, who for years she took to the same local veterinary clinic — until a few years ago, when she noticed changes like extra fees and recommendations for expensive treatments. She found out that the clinic she thought was still independently owned had been acquired by a big corporation backed by private equity. That got her wondering:To what extent has private equity quietly consolidated Vermont's veterinary market? And what are the primary hidden risks for pet owners like me?Click here for photos and a full episode transcript.Update 9/16/26: Before publication, we contacted McKayla's vet to give them an opportunity to respond to the concerns she raised in the story. The practice didn't respond until after publication. They did not address the specific treatment decisions McKayla described, but said while the practice is part of a larger network, clinical decisions remain with its local veterinarians and care teams — and added that being part of a network provides additional resources and treatment options. Further resources: SEARCH: Private Equity Vet SEARCH: Independent Vet LISTEN: "Loving Their Pets to Debt," from The Daily LISTEN: "Should You Trust Private Equity to Take Care of Your Dog?" from Freakonomics Radio LISTEN: "A pro-worker experiment in private equity," from NPR's Planet Money READ:Plunder: Private Equity's Plan to Pillage America, by Brendan Ballou This episode was reported by Josh Crane.

Dr. Rachel Stading, a small animal associate veterinarian with special interests in dentistry and leadership development, is our guest on this week's episode. Dr. Stading reflects on how mentorship, curiosity, and different practice experiences helped her better understand what she needed to thrive as she navigated an early interest in wildlife and aquatic animal medicine to discovering an unexpected passion for veterinary dentistry.

Have you ever looked around your practice and thought, "Wait…they actually expect me to know what I'm doing?" If so, you're definitely not alone, and in this episode, I am joined by Laurie Auger, Practice Manager at Crazy Mountain Vet in Montana, to talk about something I think nearly every veterinary manager has experienced at some point: imposter syndrome. Laurie's path into management wasn't exactly a straight line. She worked a variety of jobs, including in a taxidermy shop, before taking a part-time position at a small veterinary clinic. From there, she gradually became the person who did "whatever the vet needed besides practicing medicine" and eventually stepped into practice management. We talk about how she found herself in leadership, even though managing a team was never something she originally planned to do. Listen as Laurie and I get very real about some of the challenges that came with that transition for her, including delegation, the desire to prove yourself, learning to trust your team, and figuring out what leadership looks like when there isn't a blueprint to follow. We also talk about the mistakes we've made along the way and how those mistakes can lead to better protocols, better training, and better patient and client care. We discuss the importance of being willing to say, "I don't know," asking for help, finding mentors, and surrounding yourself with people who will give you honest feedback, and Laurie shares how continuing education and connections with other managers have helped her grow, ultimately leading her to earn her CVPM in 2026. Most importantly, we talk about how our definition of a great manager can change over time. It's not about being the person with every answer but is rather about helping the people around you recognize their own strengths and become better because you're there, so, again, if you have ever questioned whether you're really ready for the responsibility you've been given, this conversation will remind you that you probably know more than you give yourself credit for! Show Notes: [0:35] - Today's sponsor is CareCredit! [2:32] - Hear how Laurie's career path unexpectedly led her into veterinary management and a natural leadership role. [4:46] - Veterinary leaders often arrive through different paths, brought together by their ability to embrace leadership. [6:04] - Laurie reflects on having struggled with delegation, proving herself, and establishing responsibilities as the practice grew and evolved. [9:33] - We talk about how effective delegation empowers teams to function independently while reducing manager burnout and reinforcing strong leadership. [12:37] - Laurie expresses enthusiastic gratitude for her strong support system. [15:49] - Early imposter syndrome taught Laurie to communicate her limitations openly and establish clear expectations. [17:27] - Vulnerability, mentorship, and learning from mistakes can all help leaders overcome imposter syndrome and build confidence.

In Nary a Horse Left Standing: How a Nineteenth-Century Epidemic Transformed Medicine, Animal Welfare, and the Modern City (MIT Press, 2026), Dr. Lee Dugatkin chronicles this little-known crisis, revealing how the epidemic disrupted nearly every aspect of urban life. From coast to coast, livelihoods collapsed as horses lay sick, or worse dying, on stable floors, fires raged unchecked without horse-drawn wagons, and city development stalled for lack of horsepower. Just as the Gilded Age was dawning and industrialists were poised to amass fortunes, the flu slowed progress to a crawl. Yet the tragedy also catalyzed revolutions in medicine, animal rights, and transportation. Veterinary science in the U.S. was still emerging, but detailed medical reports from the epidemic helped validate germ theory and discredit outdated beliefs. The crisis also spotlighted early animal welfare efforts, with fledgling groups like the ASPCA advocating for sick horses forced to work. Finally, the sheer vulnerability of relying on animals for transport spurred a shift toward mechanized systems. As illuminating as it is humbling, the book brings to life a critical account of a crisis that still speaks to the complex public health and transportation challenges we face today. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this episode of Curing with Sound, we speak with Tonya Cherukuri, PhD, Director of the Foundation's Claudine and Fritz Kundrun Veterinary Program. The program funds clinical trials investigating focused ultrasound for naturally occurring diseases in companion animals to advance veterinary care and also generate insights that may inform applications in human medicine. To date, it has supported nearly 30 trials across 14 conditions, including osteosarcoma, lymphoma, oral tumors, and urinary stones. Dr. Cherukuri discusses the potential advantages of focused ultrasound for veterinary patients, including its noninvasive nature, shorter recovery times, and reduced risk of infection. She highlights promising areas of research, examines the barriers to translating focused ultrasound from veterinary studies into clinical practice, and outlines what will be needed to make the technology more widely available.  Dr. Cherukuri also reflects on the generous gift from Claudine and Fritz Kundrun that anchors the program, and the Foundation's ongoing fundraising efforts to sustain veterinary focused ultrasound research in the years ahead.

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, Drs. Andy Moorhead and Tom Nelson from the American Heartworm Society address questions practitioners frequently pose about treating heartworm cases when following every step of the AHS-recommended diagnostic and treatment protocol isn't possible. Whether the issue is money, a hard-to-wrangle dog or a previous caretaker who opted for an alternative approach, there are multiple reasons why compromises must sometimes be made in the treatment and care plan for a heartworm-positive dog.Sponsored By: American Heartworm Society

Can AI turn mountains of dairy data into practical management insights? This episode explores how tools like ChatGPT can analyze bulk tank records, DHI reports, and milking-parlor data. Using examples from conventional and organic herds, we discuss how AI can reveal production and milk-quality trends, identify cows driving somatic cell count, highlight reproductive concerns, and uncover parlor-efficiency problems. AI cannot replace farmers, advisers, or Extension expertise—and its results should always be verified—but it can save hours of spreadsheet work and help dairy managers focus on the issues that need attention. Questions, 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

In this VETgirl veterinary continuing education podcast,  Dr. Mark Cousins debunks the “indoor cat safety” myth. Indoor felines face silent parasite risks: hitchhiking fleas, shoe-borne roundworm eggs, and mosquitoes carrying fatal heartworms. Because cats lack approved heartworm treatments, year-round preventive care is vital. Vets must educate hesitant owners, reframing protection as a baseline of indoor feline wellness.Sponsored By: Boehringer Ingelheim

What is the ideal age at first calving for Holstein heifers? Brad examines a Zoetis study of nearly 130,000 cows from 74 dairy herds. Although heifers calving at 26 months produced slightly more projected first-lactation milk, those calving around 23 months produced more cumulative milk through two lactations, remained in the herd longer, and generated greater modeled net income.Replacement risk increased substantially as calving age rose, reaching about 35% for heifers calving at 27 months compared with 17% at 21 months. By 27 months, modeled net income was approximately $650 lower than for the 23-month group because the small milk-production advantage did not offset additional rearing costs and earlier removal from the herd.The findings support targeting 22 to 23 months—but only when heifers are adequately grown. Brad explains why producers should monitor body weight alongside age, evaluate the costly tail of late-calving heifers, and consider cumulative production and survival rather than relying solely on projected 305-day milk.Questions, 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

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we're talking about the new veterinary sepsis definitions. Having clear definitions is crucial in making sure we're talking about the same type and severity of disease. Until now, our veterinary sepsis definitions have been largely adapted from human medicine. But let's be honest, our patients who have a talent for hiding illness don't always follow the same rules as humans. Having veterinary-specific definitions gives researchers a more consistent way to compare patients and studies, while giving clinicians a stronger foundation for recognizing sepsis, assessing illness severity, and shaping both today and tomorrow’s treatment recommendations.
