In the ever-evolving world of the swine industry, addressing the needs of both producers and animals at each stage is paramount. From gestation crates to group housing, challenges arise in managing swine effectively. To shed light on it, I talk to Dr. Tami Brown-Brandl, an expert in Biological Systems Engineering applied to Animal Sciences. We discuss the technological solutions that are necessary for successful animal management in the future; research on technology applied to diseases detection, such as lameness; the use of depth cameras in farrowing crates for evaluating sow behavior and piglet placement as well as preventing piglet crushing; and the value and maintenance of technology for producers."Mindful equipment and supportive research can guide producers in the effective adoption of technology, avoiding heavy investments with uncertain payoffs. Let's ensure technology readiness for the success of producers." - Dr. Tami Brown-BrandlWhat you’ll learn:(00:00) Highlight(01:40) Introduction(03:52) Technological solutions that are necessary for livestock management(19:16) Using technology to research lameness in animals(25:59) Using depth cameras to evaluate sow behavior(29:52) The value and maintenance of technology for producers(29:12) Final questionsMeet the guest: Dr. Tami Brown-BrandlExperience:Current: Professor of Biological Systems Engineering at the University of NebraskaPast: Research Agricultural Engineer at the USDABackground:Ph.D., Agricultural and Biosystem Engineering (the University of Kentucky)M.Sc., Biological Systems Engineering and Animal Science (the University of Nebraska-Lincoln)B.Sc., Biological Systems Engineering (the University of Nebraska-Lincoln)𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.The Swine it Podcast Show is trusted and supported by innovative companies like:- AB Vista- Adisseo- Genesus- Evonik- Cloudfarms- Bioverse- Eastman- MS Gold- FeedFloGive us a Rating & Review - http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1460280128
