2 Nebraskans Sickened as Part of Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Eggs

By Matt Olberding

Nebraska is one of seven states where people have been sickened by salmonella linked to eggs.

As of Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had identified 79 illnesses nationwide linked to organic and cage-free brown eggs that were distributed at Walmarts and a number of smaller stores.

Most of the illnesses are in California, but a few others, including two in Nebraska, are spread out over six other states. Twenty-one people so far have been hospitalized, but no one has died.

Video: Dr. Jay Johnson: Bioenergetics of Heat Stress in Sows

The Swine Health Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Jay Johnson from the University of Missouri explores the bioenergetics of heat stress in gestating sows and how it affects growth and fat deposition. He discusses energy partitioning, thermoregulation, and genetic strategies to improve thermal tolerance without compromising productivity. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Gestating sows under heat stress grow faster than those in thermoneutral conditions, with much of that growth going into backfat."

Meet the guest: Dr. Jay Johnson earned his Ph.D. from Iowa State University and is now an Associate Professor of Animal Welfare and Stress Physiology at the University of Missouri. His research focuses on heat stress, swine productivity, and practical welfare innovations through physiology and genomics.
