the swine nutrition blackbelt podcast Nov 09, 2023

The crucial role of gilt development in swine production cannot be overstated, with the seamless transition of these animals to healthy, productive sows being a cornerstone of sustainable practices. Nutrition and environmental management during this developmental phase are key to unlocking their potential for future performance. In our latest discussion, we are joined by Dr. Tsung Cheng Tsai from the University of Arkansas, who delves into the forefront of swine nutrition research. His work sheds light on targeted nutrient interventions that enhance gilt development. His findings are not just data points but gateways to extending sow longevity and elevating reproductive capabilities.
