Episode 41: The Path to an Older Wean Age
In this episode of SwineTime, host, Dr. Spencer Wayne, sits down with
PIPESTONE’s Director of Records and Information, Angie Homann, and
President of Nutrition, Jon De Jong. Recently, PIPESTONE has taken steps
to explore the benefits and challenges of an older weaned pig. The health
benefits are evident for grow-finish farmers. Older weaned pigs are healthier,
stronger, and in most cases, require less antibiotics. What does this look like
at the sow farm level? What does the data behind performance say? Tune into
this episode as our guests dive into the logistics of those questions and where
PIPESTONE is directing their efforts to meet the demand from grow-finish
shareholders.
Episode 42: Feed Risk with Dr. Scott Dee
In this episode of SwineTime, host Dr. Spencer Wayne sits down with Dr.
Scott Dee, who currently serves as the Director of Research for PIPESTONE
Veterinary Services. Dive into the viral risks associated with feed, and how to
alleviate the risks on your operation. According to Scott, this information is
relatively new to the industry as is the use of feed mitigants to deal with the
risk of introducing outside feed to the barn. Learn more about how disease
spreads through feed, the three types of feed mitigants, and how we’ve come
to understand their use. Scott also discusses his upcoming phased retirement,
reflections on the growth of PIPESTONE and his growth in the veterinary
profession, and plans for his well-deserved retirement.
