Show Notes
In this special Earth Day episode of The Poultry Podcast Show, we bring Dr. Philip Moore, Soil Scientist at USDA ARS and Adjunct Professor at the University of Arkansas, who explains how poultry litter amendments improve environmental performance and bird outcomes. He discusses reducing ammonia emissions, controlling phosphorus runoff, improving feed efficiency, and developing innovative technologies like indoor air scrubbers. Learn how science driven management practices support sustainability and profitability in poultry production. Listen now on all major platforms!
“Adding aluminum sulfate to poultry litter dramatically reduced soluble phosphorus while improving nitrogen availability for plant uptake.”

In this special rerun episode of The Poultry Podcast Show, Mickey Leonard, a Researcher at the University of Minnesota, explains how risk assessments support business continuity during Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza outbreaks. She explains how risk assessments are built, why producer and veterinarian input matters, how permit guidance helps translate complex analysis into action, and what farms should consider as HPAI risks evolve across regions, commodities, and seasons.

In this episode of The Poultry Podcast Show, Dr. Valentina Bongiorno, Research Associate at Michigan State University and incoming Assistant Professor of Poultry Behavior and Welfare at Auburn University, discusses how poultry behavior connects welfare, production, and barn management. She explains how video recordings, daily observations, movement patterns, resource use, and housing design can reveal practical insights in commercial laying hen systems. Dr. Bongiorno also shares how small facility adjustments, such as changes in nest curtains, can support both welfare and production. Listen now on all major platforms!
In this episode of The Poultry Podcast Show, Dr. Dan Wilson, founder and president of Wilson Veterinary Co., explains what autogenous vaccines mean in US poultry production and why their use is expanding in layer systems. He discusses isolate selection, manufacturing timelines, preventive program design, regulatory requirements, emerging bacterial and viral challenges, and applications in layer production. Practical examples show how tailored formulations can strengthen protection while fitting complex health programs. Listen now on all major platforms!
In this episode of The Poultry Podcast Show, Dr. Eric Shepherd, Associate Director of Poultry Technical Services at Zoetis, explains rotational vaccination strategies for infectious bursal disease. He discusses IBDV field adaptation, changing infection pressure, surveillance, diagnostics, and indicators for adjusting protection programs. Dr. Shepherd also explains how disciplined implementation supports effective IBDV control across production cycles. Listen now on all major platforms!
In this episode of The Poultry Podcast Show, Dr. Douglas Rhoads, University Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Arkansas, discusses bacterial infections found in fertile broiler and broiler breeder eggs. He explains why the yolk was the most frequent site of bacterial recovery, how infected embryos can still reach hatch, and why vertical transmission may help explain hatchability losses and early flock health challenges. He also explores probiotics, vaccination, and genomic tools that help researchers understand emerging poultry pathogens. Listen now on all major platforms!
