Not all microorganisms were created equal and every farm has microorganisms. Dr. Haas walks us through the story of microbiology focusing on what types of organisms exist, how they are classified, and most importantly what that means for animal health. One of the best defenses to detrimental microbes is beneficial microbes. These microbes coupled with attention to animal care and management can go a long way in helping to fight off the ever presence of disease microorganisms.

VFD, Vaccines, and Microbials: What’s the Story? 24:20

12 weeks ago24:20

24:20

The story of microbiology and microbes is interwoven with management and animal health. Dr. Haas takes a bigger picture look at how this story ties together with industry changes, preventative measures, and price volatility. The Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) has brought about changes in relationships with veterinarians and how farmers manage animal health and preventative care. Since the use of medications requires move oversight, it has been an opportunity to focus on preventive care and immune support with vaccines and microbials. Price volatility is also a factor as farmers look to stabilize their expenses and get the most out of their bottom line. For more information or additional episodes, visit Bio-Vet.com.

HPAI: Is it Here to Stay? 29:47

23 weeks ago29:47

29:47

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) continues to impact animals across the U.S., with no immediate signs of slowing down. Since keeping wild birds off farms is nearly impossible, what steps can farmers take to help curb the spread? Advancements in testing and technology are playing a crucial role. For example, rumen monitors can detect drops in rumen activity days before physical symptoms appear. Ensuring animals stay hydrated and maintaining robust health support systems are also critical in managing HPAI. Most importantly, biosecurity measures remain essential, including careful monitoring of animal movement on and off the farm, as well as the activities of people working on farms.

Cold Stress Isn’t Just about Colder Temperatures 34:14

Across the US, temperatures are starting to fall as the winter season sets in. While the heat of the summer can bring the onset of heat stress within hours, cold stress brings a different set of challenges during cooler temperatures. Dr. Nate Haas, Director of Applied Research and Technical Services, talks about how much more energy is needed when it gets colder and that slug feeding may not be the answer. In addition, damp environments and even cold water can drive the need for energy even higher with cold weather. Proper management, observation of animals, and multiple feedings hold the key to keep animals productive during these times of stress. For information or additional episodes, visit Bio-Vet.com.
