In Episode 299 of The Moos Room, Emily returns to the mic, reminding Brad—and the audience—that The Moos Room is a team effort, not just "The Bradley Show." The two catch up and share updates on their chaotic summer schedules in the world of Extension before diving into the topic of the week: pasture management in mid-June.Brad gives a detailed look at what's happening in Morris, where heavy rainfall (over five inches in the past month) has led to explosive pasture growth. With 315 cows now grazing—including the conventional herd—he's doing everything he can to keep up with the grass. He shares his strategies for dealing with overgrown pastures, including increasing stocking density, rotating more quickly, and when mowing or even baling might be necessary.They discuss the challenges of maintaining forage quality, the role of manure scores and milk urea nitrogen (MUN) as indicators of nutritional balance, and the complications posed by persistent rain—especially thistle outbreaks in organic systems where herbicide options are limited.The episode closes with practical tips for producers facing similar pasture overgrowth issues: keep animals moving, don't be afraid to mow, and have a flexible grazing plan. And of course, the excitement builds for Episode 300, coming next week!Listeners are encouraged to email their thoughts (or rebuttals to Brad's rain enthusiasm) to themoosroom@umn.edu and tune in for the big milestone ahead.Grazing and pasture management for cattleManaging perennial cool-season forage grasses in MinnesotaQuestions, 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

Many MedTech companies focus heavily on FDA clearance but overlook a critical layer of U.S. market entry: state-level compliance. In this episode, Etienne Nichols speaks with Adam Steadman, CEO of MDD Options, to unpack the real-world challenges that derail commercialization after regulatory approval. From navigating state-specific registration, sales tax laws, and distribution logistics to choosing between direct and distributor-based strategies, Adam shares hard-earned insights for avoiding the "second valley of death" post-clearance. Whether you're a domestic startup or an international company entering the U.S., this episode arms you with a tactical understanding of compliance landmines and scalable go-to-market strategies.Key Timestamps00:02 – Intro: The real MedTech “valley of death” after FDA clearance04:45 – Why U.S. state-level registration is misunderstood and overlooked08:15 – State-level definitions of medical devices and why they differ11:20 – Strategic go-to-market options: Distribution vs. Direct17:00 – How regulations vary drastically by state (CA, TX, etc.)21:50 – The real risks of noncompliance: lawsuits, bad PR, and due diligence failures26:15 – Why distribution agreements can stall your growth (and how to avoid it)34:30 – Sales tax & use tax: The hidden compliance trap39:10 – Logistics, warehousing, and long-term liabilities in contracts44:55 – Overlooked pitfalls: Secretary of State filings and income tax in 36+ states51:15 – Software as a Medical Device (SaMD): U.S. compliance still applies55:30 – Selling to the U.S. government vs. private sector buyers59:20 – Veterinary devices and why they still need regulatory controls1:03:10 – What a winning go-to-market strategy actually looks like1:10:25 – Adam's final advice to MedTech startups (foreign and domestic)Standout Quotes"You're not entering one country—you're entering 50 states and D.C. Each with its own rules, definitions, and tax laws."—Adam Steadman explains why U.S. MedTech entry requires a state-by-state strategy, especially for international companies."None of the strategics want your warehouse management system—they want your product, your sales, and your proof of market fit."—Steadman on why building non-core infrastructure slows down commercialization and valuation.Top 5 TakeawaysFDA Clearance ≠ Market Readiness – State-level registrations, sales tax laws, and pharmacy board definitions often delay or block commercialization.Distribution Isn't Always a Shortcut – National distributors may have misaligned incentives and can lock you into exclusivity that hinders growth.Sales Tax is a Regulatory Minefield – 46 states require separate sales tax registration, exemptions tracking, and monthly filings—even if you're tax-exempt.Beware of Long-Term Contracts – Logistics and distribution contracts often lock companies into rigid terms that prevent pivots or acquisitions.Speed to Market Is Strategic – Getting to market fast is often the difference between becoming #1 or #3—and #3 often gets nothing.MedTech 101What Is “Nexus” and Why It Matters for Sales Tax?“Nexus” refers to the minimum level of economic activity that triggers tax obligations in a given state. For example, selling $100,000 of devices or 200 transactions may establish nexus, requiring you to register for sales tax. Unlike VAT in Europe, U.S. sales tax laws are state-specific, making this a major compliance hurdle for MedTech companies.References & Resources

In episode 76 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're chatting all about something that honestly baffled me when I was working in general practice (and in my very early referral nursing days), and that's chylothorax. As far as I was concerned back in 2015, before I lived and breathed medicine, a chylothorax would have been just another patient needing a thoracocentesis.  I didn't understand what was causing the disease or its impact on the patient. And aside from them being a respiratory patient and needing monitoring, I had NO idea what nursing actions I could take to make things better - I didn't really know how to help.  But when I started learning what a chylothorax was, why it happens, and what we can do to help these patients? That's when I stopped feeling out of my depth, and realised that I CAN make decisions as a vet nurse, and my actions WILL help my patients. So in this episode, I want to share the three essential things you NEED to know about chylothorax - and more importantly, how to turn that knowledge into nursing care that really helps your patient. So next time you're handed a patient with chylothorax, you'll know exactly what to watch out for and exactly how to help them. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

In this solo episode, Brad dives into the challenges of managing mastitis, especially during wet spring and summer conditions. He shares findings from ongoing University of Minnesota research on non-antibiotic treatments for mastitis, highlighting two promising alternatives: Ozolea-Mast, a corn oil-based intramammary product, and Optimum UterFlush, a botanical-based treatment studied in Colorado.Brad discusses how these non-antibiotic tools have performed both in lactating cows with subclinical mastitis and as dry cow therapy. Notable results include a consistent ~30% reduction in somatic cell count in chronic cows and the potential economic benefits of avoiding milk and meat withdrawal. While the Colorado study didn't show significant differences in udder health outcomes, Brad stresses the importance of continuing to evaluate these products as pressure increases to reduce antibiotic use on dairies.Whether you're a producer looking to cut costs or a researcher interested in alternatives to antibiotics, this episode offers valuable insights into mastitis treatment innovation.Ozolea-MastQuestions, 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 is life really like behind the scenes at your vet's office? Collin sits down with Gigi Tsontos, Executive Director of Not One More Vet, Inc. (NOMV), to discuss the hidden mental health crisis facing veterinary professionals. Gigi shares the mission of NOMV, the complex stressors vets face, and the resources NOMV provides—from peer support to emergency grants. They also explore how pet sitters and pet parents can shift the culture through empathy, gratitude, and everyday check-ins. It's a call to action to recognize, respect, and support the emotional toll behind every diagnosis. Main topics: Veterinary mental health crisis Suicide prevention in vet medicine NOMV programs and peer support Communicating with empathy and care Role of pet sitters in advocacy Main takeaway: “When we as a community value mental health, it creates a wave—it hits everyone, and it keeps going.” Mental health isn't just an individual issue—it's a community responsibility. In the veterinary and pet care industries, small acts of compassion and understanding can ripple outward, changing lives and reshaping culture. Whether it's checking in on a colleague, expressing gratitude to your vet, or simply listening without judgment, your empathy makes a difference. Let's be the start of that wave—because when we value each other's wellbeing, we all rise together.. About our guest: Gigi Tsontos, LCSW, MPA, aka, Angelique, joined NOMV in January 2024. After studying Social Welfare Policy at the University of Kansas, Gigi spent two years in Mali West Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer, returning to complete a Master of Science in Social Work at Columbia University and a second Masters in Public Administration from San Diego State University. Her career led her to work in social services, homeless services, mental health, victims' rights, and nutrition supporting administrative roles and becoming a clinical social worker licensed in California and Kansas. Gigi lives in Kansas with her husband and 4 furry children. She sees the world as her home and has traveled extensively.

“Vaccinating community cats creates a barrier to disease between wildlife, domestic animals, and people.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund. In this special webinar replay edition of the Community Cats Podcast, Brianna Lovell Myers of United Spay Alliance is joined by Dr. Bob Weedon, a leading expert in high-volume, high-quality spay/neuter and public health. Together, they delve into the synergistic relationship between trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) and public health initiatives. Dr. Weedon shares compelling data illustrating how TNVR not only reduces shelter intake and euthanasia rates but also fortifies community immunity against rabies. He challenges anti-TNVR narratives using scientific evidence, such as the minimal risk of rabies transmission from cats and the misunderstood lifecycle of toxoplasmosis. A major highlight includes a recent pilot study proving the effectiveness of rabies vaccines in kittens under 12 weeks — a potential game-changer for field operations. This conversation is more than an academic discussion; it's a rallying cry for more integrated, humane, and scientifically-backed approaches to community cat care. Whether you're a vet, policymaker, or colony caretaker, you'll walk away with actionable insights and renewed motivation to champion TNVR.

In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we discuss the potential development of an autoimmune response against platelets following live virus infection from canine influenza, and separately following vaccination with distemper (DA2PP) vaccine. Have you ever wondered before in your immune-mediated thrombocytopenic patients whether or not recent vaccination could have been the inciting factor for this autoimmune condition? Well, Williams et al. sought to get us the veterinary evidence that can tell us if viral infection or vaccination can cause this autoimmune dysregulation in our canine patients as described in their article entitled “Effects of Canine Influenza Infection and DA2PP Vaccination on the Development of Platelet-Associated Immunoglobulins and Platelet Counts in Dogs.”

Send us a textArtificial intelligence is rapidly transforming veterinary diagnostic imaging, but are we ready? In this illuminating conversation with veterinary radiologist Dr. Ryan Appleby, we explore the joint position statement from the American College of Veterinary Radiology and European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging on AI technologies.The eye-opening discussion reveals that none of the currently available AI products for veterinary diagnostic imaging meet established standards for transparency, validation, or safety. Ryan walks us through the extensive collaborative process behind developing the position statement and outlines what veterinarians should expect from AI companies regarding product information. He emphasizes the critical need to separate marketing claims from scientific evidence when evaluating these emerging technologies.Beyond just technical considerations, we dive into the ethical dimensions of AI implementation, with Ryan powerfully arguing that improved diagnostic accuracy alone isn't sufficient justification for adoption. "We really need to point out and show that leads to a better health outcome," he explains. "Otherwise, we have no business charging our clients for deploying that piece of technology." This conversation offers practical guidance for veterinarians navigating AI tools, including what clients should know about their use and privacy implications.Whether you're already incorporating AI into your practice or simply curious about its future applications, this episode provides essential context for understanding how these powerful tools should be evaluated, implemented, and regulated in veterinary medicine.

With over 12 years of experience in veterinary medicine, Lopes brings a deep understanding of patient care, team leadership, and client relations to his role as Practice Manager at Doral Veterinary Care (DVC). His career began in a 24-hour emergency and critical care hospital, where he spent six years as a veterinary technician before expanding into oncology, ophthalmology, and orthopedic surgery. Before joining DVC, he successfully managed multiple general practice veterinary teams across several cities, ensuring excellence in both medical care and client service. Lopes's expertise extends beyond veterinary medicine. His first decade of professional experience was in hospitality, where he developed a keen ability to enhance client experiences and foster strong team dynamics—skills he seamlessly integrates into his work in veterinary care. His lifelong passion for animals began in childhood, growing up alongside a wide array of pets, from dogs and rabbits to a pig and a goat. This love for animals led him into zoological care, where he worked with an impressive range of species, including canids, raptors, primates, and large fauna such as rhinoceroses and giraffes. Notably, he has worked with all seven species of big cats and even the Southern Cassowary, known as the world's most dangerous bird. Outside of work, Lopes is an avid aquarist who enjoys outdoor adventures, fitness, and—above all—spending time exploring the world with his wife and daughter.

In this episode, Brad shares a recent case study from the University of Minnesota's dairy research center, where a group of spring-born calves experienced widespread scours. He walks through the onset of symptoms, including diarrhea, depression, and reduced milk intake, primarily in calves on an automatic feeder. Diagnostic testing confirmed rotavirus A as the culprit, ruling out other common pathogens like salmonella, cryptosporidium, and coronavirus.Brad explains the importance of prompt treatment with electrolytes and continued milk feeding, emphasizing that hydration—not antibiotics—is key to recovery from viral scours. He also discusses how CT values from lab results helped indicate viral load and severity. While no calves were lost, the outbreak highlighted the critical role of sanitation, consistency in protocols, and whole-system prevention strategies including vaccination and colostrum quality.Listeners will gain practical tips on treating and preventing scours, especially from rotavirus, and hear an honest account of real-world challenges in calf health management.Causes and prevention of dairy calf scoursQuestions, 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 

Veterinary medicine is not part of the agri-trade agreement sketched out between the EU and the UK earlier this week. It's left vets increasingly concerned that some veterinary medicines won't be available in Northern Ireland after the end of this year when a ‘grace period' under the Windsor Framework allowing medication from Great Britain to cross the Irish sea and be sold there runs out.The warming of coastal waters means a change in the species that can thrive in them. Fishermen in the South West of England are reporting an invasion of octopuses turning up in lobster and crab pots. It's good news for some fishermen who are catching and selling the octopuses, but disastrous for others.And getting bovine TB on a farm can be a huge financial blow and the emotional impact on farmers can be devastating. We visit one dairy farmer in Pembrokeshire who's been working with the Welsh Government to improve their policies on dealing with the disease, and the emotional impact it can have.Presented by Caz Graham Produced by Heather Simons

From the most common types of cancer in pets to the misconceptions around prevention, Daniela and Josie dive into it all — including the hot-button topic of using ivermectin and supplements as treatments. Dr. Korec breaks down how chemotherapy for pets differs from human treatment (hint: most pets tolerate it surprisingly well!) and even shares which dog breeds lose their hair and how it grows back differently. Plus, she gives her unfiltered take on what *not* to do as a pet owner in the oncology office — like trusting breeders over licensed vets.
