Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt - #1 - Poultry nutrition through the lens of experts

We are proud to bring to you our brand new podcast, the Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast! This is where we delve deep into the world of poultry nutrition alongside the brightest minds of the global poultry nutrition industry – all of it available right in your pocket! 

In our very first episode, I talk with Dr. Kelley Wamsley, who is going to host the podcast alongside me. We have an inspiring conversation where, besides introducing ourselves, we also discuss the poultry industry as a whole as well as some influential papers, research areas, and the evolving nature of poultry nutrition. We also highlight the interdisciplinary nature of nutrition and the excitement of working in various settings, including the classroom, lab, and farm.
