Sarah MuirheadHOST
So let's get started with a, a bit of background on each of you.
Geraldine BrouwerGUEST
We want whole food.
Geraldine BrouwerGUEST
We want it formulated with whole food." And I said, "I understand that, and I understand the reasonings for that," but we source from, from Alltech and from, uh, like, from U...
Geraldine BrouwerGUEST
so we're not using anything sourced from China.
Geraldine BrouwerGUEST
Um, we are trying to source the highest quality, um, they're chelated prot- uh, proteinate, um, vitamin mineral mixes which are, like, the highest quality with the highest bioavailability.
Ben KiefferHOST
And, and making a film like this, as you can imagine, takes some serious resources.
Ben KiefferHOST
Alltech, a, a global agricultural company, backed the project.
Ben KiefferHOST
So as we get into our conversation, I'll be curious about how that partnership worked.
Ben KiefferHOST
Let's welcome Michelle Michael and Brandon Whitworth, uh, to River to River.
6 MINS LATER
Ben KiefferHOST
Uh, I think your website worldwithoutcows.com would have the locations.
Ben KiefferHOST
You can search for that in, in Iowa, also the Midwest, Illinois, anywhere you, you like.
Ben KiefferHOST
But l- I wanna get this out of the way, because this is a film funded by Alltech, as I mentioned at the start, agricultural company.
Ben KiefferHOST
Uh, one reviewer I saw wrote that, "Skeptical viewers can be forgiven for thinking it's a cattle industry ad." Um, a- and I wanna play a little bit of an Oatly ad.
Charlotte AshleyHOST
Up at Wrekin.
Charlotte AshleyHOST
And it was, I was invited by, um, Alltech, which is, owns Keenan, uh, the, the feed mixer that we have.
Charlotte AshleyHOST
And I was invited by one of the guys who works there.
Charlotte AshleyHOST
I went, I sat on a panel discussion afterwards to discuss it, and I was just so dejected really.
Charlotte AshleyHOST
Is that the right word? I was just really meh about it all because it was a very, Alltech's a massive global company with a lot of money, and now I'm not saying that it was biased in any way because it wasn't.
Charlotte AshleyHOST
It, but it was, it was kind of supporting the use of, like, I'm not gonna say Bova or whatever it was called.
Rebecca WilsonHOST
Bo- the, yeah, Bo-
Jeff MattocksPANELIST
So in an immune stressed environment or in a known health situation, the selenium yeast products tend to be absorbed faster and be utilized at a higher level.
Jeff MattocksPANELIST
So you would be looking for like the Alltech selenium yeast and there's two or three others on the market that make a selenium yeast product, but you just need a very small amount of a selenium yeast.
Jeff MattocksPANELIST
But typically sodium selenite is what's being used in most feeds.
Jeff MattocksPANELIST
You know, we'd have to work together, look at the labels on what human capsule you got and just do the math.
Brandon WhitworthGUEST
Yeah, so executive producer Mark Lyons, he is the funding source.
Brandon WhitworthGUEST
So Mark is the president and CEO of a company called Alltech, which is an agricultural company based in central Kentucky.
Brandon WhitworthGUEST
And we are full-time employees of that company.
Brandon WhitworthGUEST
So that's how we've been telling these ag stories for the past, you know, 10 years together and then for the past five years focused on World Without Cows.

Chip FloryHOST

Chip FloryHOST
Thanks to Alltech.
Sophie GregoryHOST
It actually gives a very balanced view.
Sophie GregoryHOST
So it was commissioned by Alltech, who are like a feed supplementary business, and they also do a lot of cum footprint.
Sophie GregoryHOST
And it was a response to, they went to the Super Bowl and they saw the Oatly advert at halftime.
Sophie GregoryHOST
And they were sat there and they thought, no, actually, we need to tell our story.
Jennifer ShikeHOST
But my guest today has built his career around an uncommon superpower: finding clarity in the noise, taking complex problems and turning them into simple momentum building action.
Jennifer ShikeHOST
Joining me today is Andy Rash, vice president of US Specialty Ingredients at Alltech.
Jennifer ShikeHOST
Andy is a husband, a dad to three great kids, a talented livestock judge and stockman and agricultural leader.
Jennifer ShikeHOST
He's someone who isn't afraid to walk into a room, embrace the chaos, and ask the question, "What if?" Andy, welcome to The Pork Podcast.
9 MINS LATER
Jennifer ShikeHOST
It's neat to see how you've all found success, and we're so glad that you found your way into the swine industry.
Jennifer ShikeHOST
And, and tell us, how did you, how did you get...
Jennifer ShikeHOST
You know, obviously you had some experiences growing up in the swine industry and were exposed to pigs and so forth along the way, but how did you get to where you are today at Alltech?
Andy RashGUEST
Yeah, it's a good question.
Glenn HebertHOST
If there was a press conference at the horse park about something, we'd go.
Glenn HebertHOST
If Alltech did a press conference, we'd go, mostly because the Alltech ones included alcohol.
Glenn HebertHOST
So we made sure we went to all of those.
Glenn HebertHOST
But we went to every part of it.
Glenn HebertHOST
We did a fundraiser for the para team at Alltech in the TV studios at Alltech.
Glenn HebertHOST
They provided everything.
Glenn HebertHOST
And we raised like $10,000 for the para team to be able to compete at Alltech.
Glenn HebertHOST
At the WEG.
