Accurately defining our nutrient loadings when formulating diets is essential for nutritionists. If we are not accounting for enough enough energy from hindgut fermentation, we may be over feeding energy during certain stages of production. In this episode with Dr. Ruurd Zijlstra, we discuss a study he conducted measuring the digestible and fermentable fractions of certain grains to hopefully more accurately predict the net energy of these feedstuffs. Take a few minutes and give this a quick lis...
Morning - your weekly 9-minute swine nutrition research update is here:
Zinc oxide is a wonderful tool for nursery pigs. However, there have been concerns about the environmental impact ZnO can have. Several research studies have been performed to identify potential alternatives to ZnO that are more environmentally friendly. In this episode I talk with Dr. Neil Jaworksi as we discuss a trial that he performed at Trouw Nutrition that may provide a viable alternative to ZnO by targeting desirable...
Disease challenges are a very common problem farms have with nursery pigs due to the still developing immune system of the pigs at this age. There are many different methods to help increase herd health and maintain growth rates during infection. In this episode Dr. Dan Columbus and I discuss two of his recent studies where they fed increased levels of functional amino acids to nursery pigs to try and mitigate the negative effects of a salmonella infection.

The microbiome of pigs has been an area of study that has gained popularity over the last several decades. Intestinal health and gut inflammation are problems that we sometimes see in the industry. In todayโ talk with Clayton Chastain, Dr. Sung Woo Kim shares his research over the last several years highlighting his work with intestinal health biomarkers and how these biomarkers might help identify problems with a pigโs intestinal health so that we may be able to find a solution.
