In episode 290 of the Kite Podcast, host Ben Eagle is joined by Sophie Brewster from AHDB, Norfolk farmer Zara Dorrington, and Kite Consulting’s Nicola Bowden to discuss the recent AHDB knowledge exchange trip to Denmark— known for its strong focus on biosecurity and herd health. The group explore the purpose behind the visit, the current disease pressures facing UK livestock producers, and the innovative biosecurity measures they observed on Danish farms. Sophie reflects on the value of farmer to farmer learning and the benefits of stepping outside routine practice, while Zara highlights how shared knowledge and collaboration is rapidly growing in the farming community. Nicola brings her consultancy perspective, discussing how Danish learnings could lead to improved herd health and more resilient on farm decision making. They consider how a more collective and proactive approach to biosecurity could strengthen UK agriculture and improve preparedness for future disease challenges. The episode also includes the usual milk market report from Chris Walkland. Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been
