This episode highlights Midwest ASAS's symposium "I am not Bossy - Professional Women in the Allied Industry" and other presentations from this year's meeting. In the first part of the episode, our host Casey Bradley discusses the symposium and the inspiration beyond it. We also chat with Edward Yang about the Midwest highlights and what it means to be a scholar, his research, and what’s next for the industry. This episode (and within the agricultural sector) focuses on finding solutions to natural climate change problems through sustainability, precision feeding, and pig production. Essential topics such as using different protein levels and ingredients – the US corn and soy meals – to improve production efficiency are addressed. What other options do we have besides the diet? Improving our sustainability and using it as an objective must be economical to make it advantageous. The importance of annual sustainability reports as the first starting point to sustainability through numbers and the ethical debate of how ‘data mining’ is dangerous. How to, as a student, network yourself as the next generation in the animal science industry as a valuable asset.About the host:Dr. Casey Bradley is an Animal Scientist and Nutritionist that has worked with swine and other livestock with many years of valuable experience.
