Farming in the cloud

A digital cloud, where critical farm management information is stored in cloud-based systems, means all data across all platforms are updated at the same time.
 
Agricultural data, whether it’s used for precision agriculture or to meet growing traceability requirements, is a vital piece of any farm’s toolkit. And having that information readily available at the farm office, in the barn or at a meeting, is critical to business success.
 
Working in the cloud
 
Cloud computing means having access to data or applications on any authorized device, anywhere with an internet connection.
 
The cloud brings the data to you when using a smartphone, tablet, desktop, or even a tractor or combine display. And with farm management apps, shared information is updated everywhere, at the same time.

Genetics vs Genomics in Swine - Dr. Max Rothschild

Video: Genetics vs Genomics in Swine - Dr. Max Rothschild



In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Max Rothschild, Distinguished Professor at Iowa State University, explains how genetics and genomics have transformed swine production. He explores genomic selection, key gene discoveries, and the role of gene editing in improving disease resistance and productivity. Practical insights on litter size, meat quality, and industry adoption are also discussed. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Genetic improvement in swine production accelerated significantly once molecular tools enabled identification of DNA level variation influencing growth, reproduction, and meat quality across commercial populations."

Meet the guest: Dr. Max Rothschild / max-f-rothschild-b3800312 earned his PhD in Animal Breeding from Cornell University and has spent over four decades at Iowa State University advancing swine genetics and genomics. His research focuses on genetic improvement, disease resistance, and molecular tools for swine production. A leader in pig genome research, his work has shaped modern breeding strategies.
