    The Scramble: If Everyone Wants In-Ovo Sexing, Why Hasn't It Scaled?

    In-ovo sexing has the potential to end the practice of male chick culling — and the technology seems to have finally caught up to the ambition.  Greg hosted a panel on the topic at the Peak Conference, featuring Nancy Roulston, Senior Director of Corporate Policy and Animal Science at the ASPCA; Juliana Machado, Geneticist and Data Scientist at Hendrix Genetics; Casey Downey from Innovate Animal Ag; and Dr. Larry Sadler, Senior Vice President of the United Egg Producers. The panel digs into the current state of the technology, the real costs of adoption, and the coordination challenge of getting hatcheries, producers, retailers, and consumers all moving in the same direction.

    Will Low Prices Cure Low Prices? with Brian Moscogiuri

    In early 2025 HPAI outbreaks had egg prices sitting at record highs; just one year later they're hitting inflation-adjusted historic lows. And while that may be great for consumers looking for a cheap source of protein, it has a lot of US producers feeling the squeeze.  Joining us to discuss the issue is Brian Moscogiuri. Formerly of Urner Barry, and Eggs Unlimited, Brian recently launched a new venture called KHM Trading, a commercial wholesale broker of shell eggs and egg products.  Brian understands the dynamics of the US egg market better than anyone, and today he discusses the factors contributing to the dip in prices, what the industry's doing to try and drum up new demand, and when producers might start to see some relief.

    The Global Expansion of Big Dutchman with Bernd Meerpohl

    In 1985, Bernd Meerpohl watched his father take a risk in purchasing a struggling farm equipment company. That company was called Big Dutchman, and today it operates in 174 countries and generates around €1.5 billion in annual sales.  Bernd took over as CEO in 1992, and maintained the unwavering commitment to salesmanship, innovation, and emerging markets that's made Big Dutchman into the global behemoth they are today.  Today, Bernd walks us through the pivotal moments that shaped the company's growth, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the rise of alternative laying systems in the US, and shares his candid views on the role that data collection and AI systems will play in the future of animal agriculture.

    HPAI Response: 45 Minutes vs. 3 Days with Erik Tyrrell-Knott of Alveo

    From the time you start to suspect you might have an HPAI outbreak on your farm, to getting lab confirmation, can take between 1 and 5 days. And while producers wait for those results to come back, they're forced to make extremely tough decisions — cancelling deliveries, isolating employees, culling entire flocks — based on incomplete information.  Erik Tyrrell-Knott is the President and Chief Business Officer of Alveo, a company that's built a handheld HPAI testing device that delivers a trustworthy result in 45 minutes. And while their tests won't replace the current lab testing we use today, their aim is to give veterinarians and producers the data they need to act with speed and confidence.  Today, Erik walks us through how the test works, why it represents such an important leap forward in the fight against HPAI, and how it could one day make "partial depopulation" possible.

    Lighting a Chicken House Isn’t What You Think with Max Obers of HATO Lighting

    Most people would figure that lighting a hen house is a question of screwing in some bulbs and turning them on. But as it turns out, the type of lighting you use can have a profound effect on birds, shaping their behavior, improving welfare, and driving production results. Max Obers is the CEO of HATO Lighting, a Netherlands-based company with over 50 years of history in agricultural lighting. Today, Max walks us through the science of how chickens perceive light differently than humans, how HATO puts that knowledge to work on farms across the world, and where the technology is headed next.

    When the Egg Industry Has to Work Together with Chad Gregory of the UEP

    There are so many different types of egg-farmers: traditional caged operations, cage-free, free-range organic...the list goes on. But one organization strives to represent all of their interests, and advocate on their behalf at the highest levels of government.  Chad Gregory is the President and CEO of the United Egg Producers (UEP), an organization that represents over 90% of US egg farmers. The UEP provides a forum where producers big and small can debate important topics, and shape the policies that ultimately impact how they do business.  Chad came on the show just a few days after the State of the Union address, and for the second year running, President Trump referenced the egg industry directly. Today, we get into what the President said, the UEP's ongoing efforts to get an HPAI vaccine approved, and how they've responded to ongoing pressure from animal rights groups.

    Managing Egg Production From 40 Million Birds to Off-Grid Farms with Bruce Dooyema

    Bruce Dooyema's career in poultry began in the 7th grade, when his parents bought him a dozen chickens to raise in the backyard. Now, as Director of Strategic projects at Versova, he's responsible for around 40 million of them. And as if that wasn't enough responsibility, Bruce serves as President of the International Egg Foundation, where he helps establish layer operations in countries struggling with food insecurity.  Today, Bruce walks us through what goes into managing 40 million birds, especially in a time where even the best laid plans can be entirely upended by HPAI. He also discusses his work with the the IEF, and the incredible impact they're having across the developing world.

    How Rose Acre Manages Food Safety Across 9 States with Kim Rice

    There are so many different ways to introduce contaminants during the egg production process: improperly used chemicals, dirty equipment, poor handling techniques, the list goes on. And it's the job of today's guests to develop and enforce the protocols that prevent all that from happening, which would be a tough enough gig for one facility, let alone 15.  Kim Rice is the VP of Food Safety and Quality at Rose Acre Farms, the second largest egg producer in the US. She joins us today to talk about mitigating all of the different avenues for biological or chemical contamination, what makes the egg business unique in terms of food safety, and the several layers of bureaucracy she needs to navigate on a day-to-day basis.
