Together, they dive into the economic turmoil caused by recent avian influenza outbreaks, which have led to record-high egg prices and significant supply chain disruptions.
The episode sheds light on the unpredictable nature of the virus, from its devastating impact on farmers to growing public health concerns. Brian and Kay discuss the crucial role of early detection through innovative methods like bulk tank testing, and explore how the industry can move beyond reactive measures to more strategic, long-term solutions. The conversation touches on the limitations of current biosecurity practices and considers vaccination as a critical, humane alternative to controlling the spread of the virus.
