Dr. Clayton Johnson is a champion of the pig, there’s no doubt about that. When he steps onto the stage to speak, the room instantly quiets and people can’t get enough of what he has to say. It’s his perspective and wisdom, his experience and application, but I think a big part of his draw is the passion and urgency in his messages. Johnson joins The PORK Podcast to discuss the hottest topic in the pork industry today – health. From porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) to porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and from highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) to African swine fever, Johnson opens up about what he’s seeing and hearing in regard to the greatest challenges facing the industry. His advice for producers, perspective for allied industry and wisdom about barn management is something you won't want to miss.
