About the Guest Dr. Dustin Oedekoven is the chief veterinarian for the National Pork Board, based in Des Moines, Iowa. In this role, Dr. Oedekoven leads a team of veterinarians and swine production experts in Pork Checkoff-funded work for pork producers, including foreign animal disease (FAD) preparedness, protecting the U.S. herd from African swine fever and developing a national swine health strategy. Dr. Oedekoven has over 20 years of experience in the agriculture sector. Prior to joining the National Pork Board in 2022, he served as state veterinarian and executive secretary for the South Dakota Animal Industry Board, where he provided strategic leadership and direction for the state's animal health agency – a seven-member, governor-appointed board of livestock producers with responsibility for all animal health programs and disease control efforts in the state. Dr. Oedekoven received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Iowa State University and bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Science from South Dakota State University. He resides in Pierre, South Dakota, with his wife and kids. What can you expect to learn from this episode of Popular Pig? Why the National Swine Health Strategy was created and how pig health directly impacts producer profitability. The two big goals guiding the strategy: reduce the impact of domestic diseases and keep foreign and emerging diseases out. Why PRRS elimination is now being set as a long term industry destination. Why PED elimination may be more achievable in the near term and how recent progress gives the industry momentum.

This week on Veterinary Ramblings, hosts Mike Brampton and Julian Hoad kick off the episode with Mike's recent trip to Japan, sharing observations from a culture built on respect, ritual, and remarkable attention to detail. Mike reflects on everything from impeccably organised airport baggage reclaim to the country's legendary punctuality and the deeply ingrained bathing traditions of the onsen. The pair also discuss Japanese cuisine, including sea urchin, seaweed, and raw egg dishes, along with Mike's experience exploring Tokyo's famous “kitchen street” and the craftsmanship (and cost!) behind traditional Japanese knives.The conversation moves into Mike's photography adventures, including visits to the famous snow monkeys and the iconic Japanese cranes. He explains how wildlife viewing areas are carefully managed to protect the animals while still allowing visitors to observe them in their natural environments.Back in veterinary territory, the hosts reflect on zoo welfare and the debate around stereotypical behaviours in captive animals, before Mike recounts a memorable (and slightly terrifying) story from early in his career involving anaesthetising a tiger. The episode wraps up with a candid rant about public services, touching on the challenges facing the NHS and the frustrations of unreliable infrastructure.Packed with travel stories, wildlife encounters, veterinary insights, and the usual off-the-cuff humour, this episode is classic Veterinary Ramblings. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Neurodiversity is part of veterinary medicine, whether we talk about it or not. In this episode, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, sit down with Ron Sosa, veterinary team coach and founder of Syn-APT Leadership Coaching, to explore what neurodiversity really looks like in our profession. From Ron's late diagnoses of ADHD and autism to high masking, imposter syndrome, and burnout, this conversation goes deeper than labels. Ron shares why veterinary medicine may have a higher prevalence of neurodivergent professionals than the general population and what that means for clinic culture, leadership, and team dynamics. The discussion moves beyond accommodations and into accessibility, including practical ways to reduce cognitive load in the hospital environment. If you lead a team, manage a practice, or simply want to better understand yourself and your coworkers, this episode offers thoughtful, actionable insight. It's not about diagnosing anyone. It's about building workplaces where people can thrive without having to mask who they are. Syn-APT website: https://www.syn-apt.me/ Amazon Link: https://a.co/d/8YrUYOL

The temporomandibular (TM) joints in horses are evolutionary masterpieces that have evolved over 55 million years. But suddenly, the experts are saying that the joints are failing because the mouth has become "unbalanced." I disagree.  The experts say that unridable horses have pain in the TM joints that connect the jaw to the skull. Their conclusion is that the teeth are "unbalanced," with an uneven bite seen with the incisors and an imperfect angle of the cheek teeth's chewing surface. Their conclusions cannot be resolved using First Principles Thinking. I've worked with horses for over 50 years, and for over 40 of those, I've floated teeth on over 80,000 horses, but I cannot draw the same conclusions these experts can about the association between the shape of the incisors and the TM joints.  I am referencing an article printed in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (March, 2024) by James L. Carmalt, VetMB, PhD, DABVP, DAVDC, DACVSMR, DACVS from the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada. The title is: "Equine poor performance: the logical, progressive, diagnostic approach to determining the role of the temporomandibular joint." There are numerous quotes from this paper I could use to substantiate my position on any dysfunction of the horse's TM joints; however, the author's words are worth reading in their entirety. It must be noted that humans, according to my dentist, chew about 2000 times a day, or 735,000 chews in a year. However, horses chew between 10,000 and 40,000 times a day, with the median being 25,000. This number becomes 750,000 chews in 30 days, which is more than humans chew in a year. Horses chew about 9 million times in a year. So, to assume that all horses are developing TM joint problems because their teeth are not "balanced" seems preposterous. If you are interested and have time, please read Dr. Carmalt's paper, which is available as an attached PDF at Community.TheHorsesAdvocate.com or online. ********** Community.TheHorsesAdvocate.com is a place to learn about horses, barns, and farms. Its information is free, and a membership option lets horse owners attend live meetings to ask questions and deepen their understanding of what they have learned on the site.

Peggy Coffeen sits down with Dr. Liz Strahl of St. Anna's Veterinary Clinic, part of Heritage Vet Partners, to talk about building a career—and a life—in dairy practice. A Wisconsin farm kid turned large animal veterinarian, Liz shares how 4-H, early mentorship, and vet school shaped her commitment to strong, trust-based producer relationships. She unpacks what she calls “unbreakable” bonds between veterinarians and dairy teams—rooted in responsiveness, communication, and delivering value beyond the chute.The conversation also explores mentorship as a two-way street, navigating confrontation early in her career, and how motherhood reshaped her perspective on work-life balance. Liz discusses why many women leave bovine practice, the importance of supportive clinic culture, and how active learning helps prevent burnout. She highlights functional fitness and wellness as essential for the physical demands of large animal work, along with her goal of becoming board-certified in dairy practice.Her key takeaway: stay curious, ask more questions than you think you should, and be unapologetically yourself.This Epiosde is Brought to You by Heritage Vet PartnersHeritage Vet Partners is the nation's leading veterinary partnership, specializing in mixed and large animal practices.  Heritage Vet Partners provides a unique partnership model that preserves local practice legacies, serving dairy and other livestock producers and companion animal owners through shared services, data, and strategic growth.

In episode one of this two-part series, Tails from the Lab cohosts Dr. Brad Ryan and Dr. Holly Brown welcome Jason Coe (DVM, PhD), a leading expert in veterinary clinical communication and professor at the Ontario Veterinary College. Dr. Coe shares practical, research-based strategies on one of the most critical yet challenging aspects of veterinary practice—effective communication.Dr. Coe dives deep into the nuances of open-ended inquiries, the importance of addressing client resistance, and how tailored communication fosters stronger client-clinician relationships.Hosts: Holly Brown (DVM, PhD, DAVCP) and Brad Ryan (MSc, DVM, MPH)This episode includes a guest appearance. Our guest was compensated for their participation.Tails from the Lab is a production of Antech Diagnostics™️. The intent of this podcast is to provide education and guidance with the understanding that any diagnostic testing and treatment decisions are ultimately at the discretion of the attending veterinarian within the established veterinarian-patient-client relationship.

For pet owners, a diagnosis such as cancer or chronic disease often brings difficult decisions and limited treatment options, many of which involve invasive procedures. While human medicine has advanced significantly, many of these innovations have been slower to reach veterinary care, underscoring the need for more effective and less invasive approaches to animal health. In this episode of Curing with Sound, we speak with Philip Bergman, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVIM-Oncology, Veterinary Program Director at the Focused Ultrasound Foundation. Dr. Bergman oversees Foundation-funded preclinical research and the clinical studies that enroll companion animals, helping to accelerate translational progress across species.  The conversation explores emerging applications of focused ultrasound in veterinary medicine, including its potential role in treating osteosarcoma, glioblastoma, feline diabetes, and other complex conditions. Dr. Bergman also discusses the collaborative One Medicine approach and how it is advancing care for both animals and people.  Discussion highlights: One Medicine Revolution: Companion animals naturally develop many of the same diseases as humans, allowing veterinary research to inform human medicine—and vice versa—through a shared, translational approach. Breakthroughs in Standard of Care: He shares his vision for a “bench-to-bedside-to-kennel” cycle, in which insights from animal clinical trials accelerate human therapies and human breakthroughs inspire new, noninvasive treatment options for pets. The Future of Veterinary Technology: Hear about efforts to develop cost-effective, veterinary-specific focused ultrasound systems designed to bring this technology into everyday clinical practice.

How pig mortality directly impacts US competitiveness and why productivity gaps matter far beyond individual farms. What global benchmarking data shows about how the US compares to countries like Brazil and why mortality is a major driver. How PRRS continues to play a significant role in lost productivity and why its true economic impact is likely underestimated. Why biosecurity failures are usually tied to everyday processes, not rare events or one time mistakes. How identifying, prioritizing, and monitoring biosecurity risks matters more than debating rules like downtime length.

“Know what you know, and assume if you don't know it, you don't know it—get help, talk to people, and ask them: ‘What do you see my blind spots are?'” — Dean HendricksonIn this episode of Evolving Your Workplace, Carol Schultz sits down with Dr. Dean Hendrickson, co-founder and CEO of SurgiReal Products and a professor at Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, to unpack a leadership reality that quietly derails teams: you don't know what you don't know—and the cost shows up in decisions, people, and momentum.Dean shares the founder-side blind spots he ran into while building a company as a career surgeon and educator. He explains why getting pulled into “startup mode” without the right guidance can send leaders down the wrong path fast—and why the smartest move early is to sit with people who've actually built startups and ask a simple question: What am I not seeing? What questions am I not asking?The conversation gets practical on how leaders should evaluate advice. Dean and Carol break down why “successful” doesn't always mean “relevant,” how to do real due diligence on mentors, and why experience in large organizations doesn't automatically translate to early-stage chaos. Dean also shares what happens when leaders miss people-related blind spots: needing different players at different stages, hiring someone exceptional who unintentionally triggers insecurity in others, and realizing too late that you can't “coach” certain structural problems into working.They close with a clear playbook for leaders who want fewer blind spots and faster learning: know your risk tolerance, seek outside input early, hire people who are better than you in key functions, and build a system to continuously ask customers and stakeholders what they need that they're not getting. The goal isn't to have all the answers—it's to build the habits that reveal the gaps before they become expensive.Connect With Host Carol SchultzFind more information about our host Carol Schultz and her company at Vertical Elevation, LinkedIn, and Instagram.Want to be our next guest expert?
