The Beef Podcast Show - #3 - From the ranch to the table: how animal welfare is changing the beef industry.

Animal welfare has become a widely discussed topic in animal production, and of course that includes the beef industry. In order to answer the new questions raised by consumers about meat production, we have been doing an excellent job at developing new research and adapting our practices to offer our herds a better quality of life. So why not bring some of the brilliant minds in that area to chat with us? In this episode of the Beef Podcast Show, Dr. Miriam Martin describes her experience as the Director of Animal Health and Welfare at the North American Meat Institute, where she provides expert advice on a variety of topics, including emerging issues in animal health, animal welfare and handling, and more.
