It covers areas like business management, marketing, and sustainability. Could you highlight any current trends in these areas in the livestock industry? GUEST: Sure.

In terms of marketing, there's increasing demand for transparency about how animals are raised and treated. HOST: That's really interesting. Now, what are some challenges faced in the field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is keeping up with the rapidly changing technology landscape. Digital tools can greatly improve efficiency and profitability, but they also require constant learning and adaptation. HOST: Indeed, technology is transforming every industry.
