The Immune System Balancing Act: A Food Chain Chat with Dr. Chris Chase

What’s the key to a healthy immune system in cattle? How do you lay the foundation for a healthy herd? In this chat with Dr. Chris Chase, a professor in the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at South Dakota State University, he draws on research to discuss how it often comes down to one factor — balance. A homeostasis where the immune system isn’t overactive but is also doing enough to fight off invaders. It’s delicate, but doable. If you’re interested in the immune system balancing act, you won’t want to miss Dr. Chase’s in-depth #ScienceHearted discussion with host Andy Vance in this episode of “Food Chain Chats.”
