I’m Phil Hord, and I’m excited to kick off my first episode as host on The Swine it Podcast Show. It’s a privilege to begin this journey with you. In this episode, Dr. John Deen, a retired Distinguished Global Professor Emeritus from the University of Minnesota, explains how pandemic threats continue to shape U.S. swine health and production. He discusses vulnerabilities in diagnostics, movement control, and national preparedness while drawing lessons from ASF, avian influenza, and field-level epidemiology. Listen now on all major platforms.

"Pandemic events in swine systems continue to generate significant challenges because early signals often resemble common conditions, creating delays that increase spread and economic disruption."

Meet the guest: Dr. John Deen is a veterinary epidemiologist and economist whose career spans North Carolina State University, the University of Minnesota, and major global disease-control initiatives. His work focuses on infectious disease modeling, population health, welfare, and industry-level preparedness across swine systems. Dr. Deen has contributed decades of insight to pandemic risk, diagnostics, and producer decision-making.
