Podcast
A podcast series focuses on biosecurity in animal production around the globe as a tool to safeguard animal and human health. It aims to empower listeners with practical knowledge of biosecurity measures and discuss challenges within the veterinary field.
🎖️ The podcast also features a segment “biosecurity champions” where guests nominate individuals for their outstanding contributions to the field of biosecurity.
#1 Avian Influenza & Biosecurity
In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Francisca Velkers, Assistant Professor at Utrecht University, and Dr. Timothée Vergne, Associate Professor of Veterinary Public Health, INRAE-ENVT. They share their insights on avian influenza and offer a glimpse into how biosecurity plays a role in this disease.
Timothée nominated Jean-Pierre Vaillancourt as a biosecurity champion, while Francisca nominated Jeroen Dewulf.
#2 The role of biosecurity in the control of African Swine Fever
In this episode, we discuss the pressing issue that impacts not only the swine industry but also global food security. Our expert Professor Arvo Viltrop from the Estonian University of Life Sciences to the podcast as we explore the critical role of biosecurity in the prevention of African Swine Fever (ASF).
In this episode, Arvo nominated Mati Tuvi as a biosecurity champion.
#3 Exploring technical tools to ensure biosecurity
In this episode, we had Carlos Piñeiro CEO of Animal Data Analytics (ADA) as our guest. Together, we explore the technical tools that play a crucial role in ensuring biosecurity measures. Whether it’s internal biosecurity within facilities or external biosecurity to protect against external threats, we have talked all about it.
In this episode, Anna Romagosa was nominated by Carlos as a biosecurity champion.
#4 Assessment of biosecurity in cattle production
In this episode, we talk with Asst. Prof. Miroslav Kjosevski, PhD, DVM about biosecurity in cattle production, exploring its critical importance in safeguarding animal health and agricultural sustainability.
He nominated Ina Toppari as a biosecurity champion.
#5 The link between biosecurity and sustainability
This episode explores how biosecurity and sustainability are connected in veterinary science. We talk about specific biosecurity actions and how they affect sustainable practices. Join us as we chat with Liza Rosenbaum Nielsen, Professor at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, University of Copenhagen.
Liza nominated Lars Pedersen as a biosecurity champion.
#6 The role of animal transport in infectious disease transmission
Animal transport and human movement are vital in our globalized world, but they also carry significant risks for spreading infectious diseases. In this episode, we are joined by Tim Nelson, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) of Farm Health Guardian Ltd, dedicated to livestock research and biosecurity. Tim shares insights on how animal transport contributes to disease spread, the strategies to mitigate these risks, and the role of geo-fencing in protecting farms.
He nominated Mark Beghian as a biosecurity champion.
