Any industry expert knows how nerve-racking it can be to start your first job after graduate school or veterinary school. Everyone expects you to be an expert and have all the answers, but there are some things you are definitely still learning. Dr. Sue Burlatschenko knows that feeling because she felt it herself when she first started out. Now after owning her own practice for several decades she reflects and shares her advice with Dr. Greiner about ways to overcome that stress and learn to be an industry leader yourself.

She obtained her Diplomate status in Swine Health and Production in 2005 and a Master of Public Health in December 2013. She was the first veterinarian in Canada to diagnose PED, which provided more than enough experience with a novel disease outbreak.

There is a large group of characteristics that can help swine professionals thrive in our industry. Dr. Crenshaw shares his thoughts on that, looking at his own family. As he aptly points out, we must have a source of contentment — even during challenging times. Very cool, right? What else would you add?

Swine nutrition is Dr. Crenshaw's primary area of expertise. With an outstanding career in this area, he shares excellent insights for swine nutritionists: we can't solve all the problems in the field, and we can't forget the economic factor when formulating diets. Do you have that mindset? Please share your thoughts with us!

Dr. Tom Crenshaw is a Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

In this episode, Dr. Greiner talks with Dr. Jim Lowe about the similarities between the beef industry and the pork industry, and how we, as producers, should be marketing our products to best help our retailers and consumers. Have you watched this episode? Let us know your thoughts!

We all know about the importance of calcium and phosphorus in the diet, but can we be more precise with our feeding techniques? In this episode with Laura and Dr. Tom Crenshaw, they discuss Tom’s work by diving deeper into the cation and anion balance as well as certain instances where we may be over-feeding calcium or phosphorous without knowing it.

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁: Dr. Tom Crenshaw is a professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received Ph.D. and M.S. degrees at the University of Nebraska in Swine Nutrition and a B.S. degree in Animal Sciences at the University of Tennessee-Martin. Two main themes have persisted throughout Dr. Crenshaw’s research in mineral nutrition related to skeleton growth. These include the roles of cation-anion balance and nutritional factors which enhance bone integrity. His research has allowed strong ties with researchers in academia and the commercial swine industry, and importantly, the projects have provided opportunities to train both graduate and undergraduate students.

As Chris highlights, most of the technologies we have need time to improve to be more accurate and practical. That’s why Chris recommends that swine producers keep trying new tools, even those that have not performed that well in the past. When was the last time you tried something new on your pig farm?

Part of becoming a successful professional in the swine industry is being associated with other successful professionals. Dr. Lowe highlights that those people are one of the greatest resources we can have to keep us developing into better professionals. Who comes to mind when you think of that?

With the current demands from consumers today, how can the pork industry better create an efficient future for itself tomorrow? Dr. Lowe shares his thoughts on that question and gives some insights into how swine producers are keeping an eye on the industry’s future. What are your thoughts on that?
