The Poultry Podcast Show

Keeping humans and nature in harmony is what sustainability is all about. Furthermore, there has been a broad discussion regarding sustainable production, net zero emissions, and the use of antibiotics and water in animal production. Consequently, we must consider the environmental impact of animal production activities and the challenges of implementing environmentally friendly alternatives to the animal production system. Would that become a conventional production instead of a niched production? How economically sustainable is it for the animal producers? In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Ermias Kebreab about these sustainability challenges in animal production. I also talk about what we can expect for the following years in terms of changes in animal production systems."There's still a lot of work to do to make sure that animals for food are produced in a sustainable, ethical, and environmentally friendly manner." - Dr. Ermias Kebreab𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:Mathematical modeling explained and applied in poultrySustainability challenges in the food chainDemand for sustainable animal food productsSustainability and its benefits to animal production Importance of raising animals for foodTake-home message𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁: Dr. Ermias Kebreab is Associate Dean and holds the Sesnon Endowed Chair in Sustainable Agriculture. His research interests include animal nutrition, mathematical modeling of biological systems, and environmental impacts of livestock. He is contributing author to 2019 IPCC update on enteric methane emissions. He co-chaired the feed additive and methane committees of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations - FAO. He has authored over 250 peer-reviewed articles and received several awards including Excellence in Ruminant Nutrition and International Agriculture from the American Society of Animal Science, and 2022 Chancellor’s Innovator of the year award. He served on two committees of The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine on methane and nutrition of dairy cattle. He is regularly an invited speaker including a TED talk. His research was in the top 10 of all research conducted at the University of California system in 2021. He holds a B.S. degree from the University of Asmara, Eritrea and an M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Reading, U.K.𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.The Poultry Podcast Show is trusted and supported by innovative companies like:- JBI (https://www.jbidistributors.com/animal-producers-biosecurity/)- Protekta (https://protekta.com/product-category/poultry/)- DSM (https://www.dsm.com/anh/species/poultry.html)- Adisseo (http://www.adisseo.com/)

The latest outbreaks of avian influenza have raised concerns for the poultry industry. We already know a lot about influenza, so what are we missing? Are we prepared to deal with an endemic outbreak in the United States? What aspects should be taken into account when designing avian influenza control and mitigation strategies? In this episode, I talk to Dr. Giambrone about all of these issues, including the current situation of avian influenza in the United States and around the world, and possible strategies to handle it. "In case of a new avian influenza outbreak, I think the US will wait and see how these other countries vaccinate and control it to know how best to respond themselves." - Dr. Joseph Giambrone 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: - The history of research on bird diseases - Avian influenza (AI) control in endemic areas - AI vaccines: production, commercialization, and regulatory control - Mitigation strategies for AI outbreaks - AI pathogenicity and ways to deal with it - Public perception of the poultry industry and commercial scale production - A clinical picture of immunosuppression - Key points for new starters in the industry - Best sources for poultry diseases material 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁: Dr. Joseph Giambrone is a professor emeritus in Auburn University’s Department of Poultry Science with a joint appointment in the Department of Pathobiology in the College of Veterinary Medicine. A molecular virologist, immunologist, and epidemiologist, he has been working on understanding viral pathogen ecology for 42 years. As well as developing new and effective vaccines, he led efforts to improve the detection and surveillance of viral diseases. He also developed vaccine strategies to protect commercially grown chickens against pathogens, like avian influenza viruses, that have infected humans. His research has had a profound impact on practices used today to reduce the incidence and severity of viral diseases in commercially grown poultry.

Poultry production faces disease challenges every day, Avian influenza being one of the most critical. That’s why we must better understand how the diagnostic process works so we can help our veterinarians reach a timely diagnosis and evaluate our biosecurity programs properly. In today’s episode with Dr. Saad Gharaibeh, we talk about the importance of disease diagnostics and how it can help improve the poultry industry. "There are different diagnostic techniques for different diseases and stages of the disease, so you must be wise in choosing the one that best fits the situation you have on your farm." - Dr. Saad Gharaibeh 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: - Poultry testing laboratory and the diagnostic services - The timeline of a poultry disease diagnosis - Sample type and quality - Best practices to reach a diagnosis - Panel testing for multiple diseases - The current situation of the Avian Influenza outbreak - Biosecurity practices and challenges - Building serology baseline knowledge for producers 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁: Dr. Saad Gharaibeh grew up in Jordan, where his father ran a chicken farm. In 1996, he completed a bachelor's degree in Veterinary Medicine at the Jordan University of Science and Technology. Then he completed a Ph.D. Program and a residency in veterinary pathology at the University of Georgia in 2001. Dr. Gharaibeh has held positions as a diagnostician at the Clemson University Diagnostic Center, a diagnostician, researcher, and poultry disease instructor at the Jordan University of Science and Technology, and as a poultry disease instructor, researcher, and avian histopathologist at the Poultry Disease and Research Center at UGA. He currently works as a poultry pathologist at the Minnesota Poultry Testing Laboratory and the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, both at UMN. 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.
