You may have your own definition of biosecurity and your own perception of the practices and processes that make it happen, but does everyone on a farm think alike? By understanding people’s different perceptions, we can map the challenges and opportunities to improve biosecurity on our farms. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Cristopher Gambino about his survey on biosecurity perceptions and practices among swine producers and experts in Pennsylvania. We also discuss the importance of understanding different perceptions of biosecurity and how to approach them, including identifying the biggest issues on the farm and training the staff accordingly.Meet the guest: Dr. Cristopher GambinoExperienceCurrent: Senior Sustainable Livestock Analyst at the Breakthrough Institute Past: Assistant Professor and Co-Director of the Food Systems Institute at Delaware Valley UniversityBackgroundPh.D., Animal Sciences (Washington State University)M.P.A., Non-Profit/Public/Organizational Management (North Carolina State University)B.S., Human Nutrition (North Carolina State University)Let’s connect on Social Media: Linkedin𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.Visit us at https://swinehealthblackbelt.comThe Swine Health Blackbelt Podcast is trusted and supported by innovative companies like:- Boehringer Ingelheim- JBI- United Animal Health- Adare- Elanco
