Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 48 | Ed Lanning and Callum James on the Future of UK Poultry: Data, Automation and Food Security
Q: From a consumer perspective, how do you think consumers view food production and what are they looking for from poultry products?
They feel disconnected from farming and care about food security and transparency; educating the public about sourcing and welfare is important, with some consumers actively seeking fresh farmgate eggs and wanting to know where their food comes from.
Ep 47 | David Petrie-Dolphin: How Poultry Vaccines and Animal Health Products Get Approved
Q: Why is there a need for a Contract Research Organisation in vaccine and medicine development?
Because CROs operate dedicated, ongoing facilities that pharmaceutical companies would not maintain year-round; they provide specialized, compliant infrastructure, regulatory know-how, and continuous testing capabilities that move products from molecule to market without the constant burden of keeping full-scale facilities idle.
Ep 46 | Harrison Davies: Aviagen’s 505 Club – top EPEF scores and the power of stockmanship
Q: Could you just start off by talking a little bit about yourself, your role, and your pedigree?
Harrison outlines his path in poultry, from working with his father to his current role at Aviagen, highlighting his focus on leveraging the Ross 308 to help farmers optimize performance.
Ep 38 | Joshua Davison: extending Salmonella protection in UK egg flocks
Q: Do producers need to mandate this dose or is it a decision between producer and vet?
It's described as a prescription product, best decided through producer-vet consultation, with Lion Code not mandating it at present.
Ep 38 | Joshua Davison: extending Salmonella protection in UK egg flocks
Q: How is the fourth dose administered on farm?
administered in drinking water with no handling required, aiming to minimize stress and avoid egg withdrawals.
