“[…] There was no collaboration, tremendous conflict of interest and led to the quotation from the late Dr. Mike Murtaugh that “veterinary science is an oxymoron”. That was clearly true. It was very depressing. I am glad that has improved and we have seen improvement across many fronts.” – Dr. Scott Dee.

Today’s episode will cover “Swine veterinary applied research: the last 30 years and what the future holds”.
