Angela Baysinger Memorial Scholarship Supports Future Leaders in Animal Welfare

he American Association of Swine Veterinarians Foundation (AASVF) continues its commitment to advancing production animal welfare through the Angela Baysinger Memorial Scholarship — an annual award recognizing students dedicated to improving welfare across animal industries.

This scholarship honors the legacy of Dr. Angela Baysinger, a respected leader who championed collaboration, science-based welfare practices, and mentorship in veterinary medicine. The award supports experiential learning opportunities for the next generation of veterinarians and scientists focused on production animal welfare.

Each year, one student demonstrating a strong passion for welfare in production animals will receive $5,000 to advance their education and hands-on experience. Scholarship funds can be applied toward research project costs, conference travel, or other experiential learning opportunities that expand understanding and practical skills in welfare science.

Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

Video: Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

In today’s pork industry, producers are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer inputs—while maintaining performance, improving animal health, and meeting sustainability expectations.

we sit down with Sylvain David and Scott Preston from Olmix to explore how seaweed-based solutions are emerging as a foundational tool in modern swine nutrition.

Rather than acting as simple alternatives, these solutions are designed to support gut health, immune resilience, and overall system consistency—especially during key stress periods like weaning, feed transitions, and disease challenges.

The conversation dives into:

• What seaweed-based solutions actually are and how they work

• Why consistency and standardization matter in “natural” products

• How gut health connects to immune function and performance

• Where producers are seeing real-world impact today

• The role of natural solutions in the future of sustainable pork production
