Swath grazing can be used to extend the grazing season, while reducing various costs for cattle producers. Researchers are developing crop varieties and species better suited to swatch grazing that will provide higher yields and nutrition for cattle. Dr. Vern Baron, research scientist with Agriculture Canada in Lacombe, is one of those researchers, and I had a chance to chat with him about swath grazing.

Video: Pandemic Risks in Swine - Dr. John Deen

I’m Phil Hord, and I’m excited to kick off my first episode as host on The Swine it Podcast Show. It’s a privilege to begin this journey with you. In this episode, Dr. John Deen, a retired Distinguished Global Professor Emeritus from the University of Minnesota, explains how pandemic threats continue to shape U.S. swine health and production. He discusses vulnerabilities in diagnostics, movement control, and national preparedness while drawing lessons from ASF, avian influenza, and field-level epidemiology. Listen now on all major platforms.

"Pandemic events in swine systems continue to generate significant challenges because early signals often resemble common conditions, creating delays that increase spread and economic disruption."
