The Pet Food Science Podcast Show - #6: The future of pets - advanced research on tailored nutrition

Hello there, 

Cutting-edge research and advanced technologies have transformed pet nutrition. Scientists and veterinarians now have valuable insights into how to tailor nutrition to meet specific needs by exploring pet metabolism, genetics, and dietary preferences. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Ronald Corbee, a veterinarian nutritionist grounded in academic research and practical experience who has contributed a wealth of valuable research to the pet nutrition community, addressing various issues from vitamin D and calcium to skeletal health and obesity. Also, we delve into various critical aspects of the relationship between calcium and vitamin D (particularly the disparities in vitamin D supplementation requirements between puppies and adult dogs) while also exploring the future of pet nutrition.

What you’ll learn:

1. Research projects on Calcium and Vitamin D

2. The difference between puppies and adults regarding vitamin D supplementation

3. A discussion on the interactions of Vitamins A and D in cats

4. The importance of considering nutrient interactions in the industry

5. Pet obesity prevention

6. Future directions for nutritional research

7. The role of supplements in the health of the pets

8. Balancing nutrients for optimum pet health

9. The influence of genetics on nutrition for pets

10. The future of pet nutrition
