AgriCoach Wealth & Wisdom Podcast by The Financial Bloke Ben Law

Notice anything different?....

The Financial Bloke Podcast has had a small facelift and is now called The AgriCoach Podcast! Everything else remains the same, the new name is just more aligned to what we do 🤩

And so, back to business...

In this episode of the Wealth & Wisdom podcast, we embark on a journey into the realm of animal biotechnology, a field poised to revolutionise livestock production as we know it. Picture this: bulls siring calves with no genetic resemblance to themselves. Sounds like science fiction, right? But it’s happening, and it's just the tip of the iceberg.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Professor Alison Van Eenennaam, a leading figure in animal genomics and biotechnology. From discussing the essence of animal biotechnology to unravelling mind-boggling projects like "switching an animal’s balls", our conversation is nothing short of eye-opening.

So, what exactly is animal biotechnology, and what does it entail? Alison breaks it down for us, shedding light on the groundbreaking work researchers like herself are undertaking. But it doesn't stop there. We delve into the most captivating projects on Alison's radar, from male calves in the dairy industry to the removal of the horned gene, and the potential ethical and regulatory implications.

This episode is a testament to the boundless possibilities of biotechnology and the individuals driving its transformative power. So, buckle up and prepare to journey into the future of livestock production like never before.
