On this epsidoe of The Squeal, host Brie Quick, PIC Technical Services Manager, leads a foundational conversation on the importance of HNS and why it plays such a critical role in long-term performance and profitability. She is joined by Sergio Canavate, PIC Applied Repro Technical Services Director, and Jennifer Patterson, University of Alberta, to explore how HNS impacts herd health, reproductive performance, and overall system stability. Together, they break down why HNS isn't just a technical term — it's a coordinated strategy that supports stronger pigs, improved efficiency, and more resilient production systems. From practical application on farm to the science behind the strategy, this episode sets the stage for understanding how aligning health, nutrition, and system management drives measurable results.
