When the World Health Organisation demanded China pass over detailed information on an outbreak of respiratory illness last month there was an uncomfortable sense of deja vu. 

Local media had been reporting hospitals being overwhelmed with sick children with undiagnosed pneumonia and the WHO wanted to know what was going on.

It’s clear now it’s a winter surge in illness rather than a new pathogen. 

But are we really prepared for the next pandemic?  

Today, epidemiologist Raina MacIntyre explores what the next pandemic might look like.

In an industry where health challenges can determine the difference between profitability and loss, why not eliminate a challenge when you can? 

Host Sarah Muirhead sits down with Dr. Amy Maschhoff from The Maschhoffs LLC System to discuss practical strategies, lessons and benefits seen from eliminating M. Hyo, a common cause of coinfections.

They discuss: 

• Costs of mycoplasma to a system
• Lessons learned from eliminating the disease
• Benefits to the production system as a whole
• Backup plans if the original elimination plan doesn’t work
• Future opportunities

Dr. Amy Maschhoff is the director of health and animal care for The Maschhoffs, LLC. She earned her veterinary degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and began her career as herd veterinarian for The Maschhoffs. Now she serves in a more central role for the Maschhoff system.
