Farewell from the SwineCast team

swinecast on May 8, 2024

SwineCast started as an idea in 2004 at Eli Lilly and Company in support of Elanco Animal Health when podcasting was starting to become a new approach to sharing ideas and starting conversations. And over the last 20 years we have produced several thousand episodes and videos, interviewing many interesting people around the globe.

It has been fun and there have been some great conversations along the way.

Like all things in life, change happens and now is one of those changes. SwineCast will shut down June 30, 2024 and all the episodes will slowly evaporate into the Internet Ether.

Thank you all for your support!

The SwineCast team

  • Decades of hard work have produced a wide assortment of tools to fight the spread of PRRSv. Success and failure and no silver bullets have discouraged many – leaving the impression that the PRRSv cannot be eliminated.
  • The At The Meeting team documents how far the pig industry has come with two front-line leaders in the PRRSv battle: Dr. Scott Dee (Emeritus Director, Discovery and Innovation, Pipestone Research) and Dr. Reid Philips (PRRS Technical Manager, Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Inc USA).
  • On ‘At the Meeting’, Honoring Dr. Bob Morrison are Dr. Montserrat Torremorell (College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota), Dr. Gordon Spronk (Pipestone Veterinary Services), and Dr. Tom Wetzell (Swine Veterinary Consultant), and is a podcast sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA Inc. In each episode, veterinarians and other swine experts join the podcast to discuss the most recent topics in swine health and production.
